Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

It was common practice in the music industry prior to 1967 for British releases to be reconfigured for the American market. In some cases, the US version would feature a different track listing, cover, and sometimes even title from its UK counterpart. The first five mystery artists' albums were converted into eight LPs for American consumption, adding material from non-album singles and the UK EPs. Todays mystery is a case in point and it's an US version.

Todays mystery album is the first official compilation album by the band, released on 28 March 1966, on London Records in the US and on 4 November 1966, by Decca Records in the UK. The two releases featured different cover art and track listing. The front cover for this, the American release was used for the rear photo on the UK edition. Reaching #3 on the US charts, where it remained for two years, it proved to be a big smash and currently remains a popular Rolling Stones retrospective. It went multiple platinum, no surprise then that earlier this century it even got a SACD version.
