Has anyone else noticed that one of the photos from the original release isn't present on the new edition -- or at least the 2-CD version, which is the one I bought. It's the shot that was on the back of the original CD traycard: the five members in the pink-and-blue pastel room, but with each member posed in a way that hides their faces, with Mick standing and the others lying on the floor. I liked that shot.
Apart from Tusk, I think this is my favorite of the reissues. The Tango b-sides were always some of my favorites (especially Down Endless Street and Ricky). And it's cool to hear what could have been Mac versions of Juliet and Ooh My Love. Unlike others here, I LOVE the roots-rocking run-through of Juliet. Keeping in mind that this wasn't intended to be the finished track, it shows what could have been. To my ears it would have been far superior to the TOSOTM version. Ooh My Love, on the other hand, I prefer the TOSOTM version.
