Will they Add "Mona" to the England's Neweset Hitmakers reissue?

[dolstein]

I notice that the press release lists England's Newest Hitmakers (the Rolling Stones' first USA LP) but not The Rolling Stones (their first UK LP). The only difference is that the USA LP has Not Fade Away and the UK LP has Mona. Of course, there may be other differences -- perhaps the edits or mixes may be slightly different between the two albums (experts please feel free to chime in). I guess ABCKO didn't consider the differences to be significant enough to justify releasing both.

Is "Now!" going to be one of the SACDs released? If so, that's where it's going to be, possibly.

Yep, The Rolling Stones Now! is going to be one of the reissues. The UK albums that are NOT included in the reissue series are The Rolling Stones and No. 2. I don't know which version of High Tides and Green Grass they're using, although I'd assume it's the US track listing. I wonder if there are any experts out there who could tell me whether the first two UK albums include any mixes or edits NOT found on any US album.

Here's the complete list of the albums that are being reissued:

England's Newest Hitmakers
12x5
The Rolling Stones Now
Out Of Our Heads
Out of Our Heads - UK Version
December's Children
Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass)
Aftermath
Aftermath - UK Version
Got Live If You Want It!
Between The Buttons
Between The Buttons - UK Version
Flowers
Their Satanic Majesties Request
Beggars Banquet
Through The Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol.2)
Let It Bleed
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out
Hot Rocks
More Hot Rocks
The Rolling Stones Singles Collection - The London Years

Let's see...

UK versions of the first album have a longer version of Tell Me. Of course, it's possible that they will use this longer version on the SACD of the US album.

Originally No. 2 had a different version of Everybody Needs Somebody To Love in comparison to Now!, but the ABKCO Now! CD actually featured the UK No. 2 version. My guess is they'll use this version for the SACD. Of course, that means the old US version will go unissued once again.

I Can't Be Satisfied is only on More Hot Rocks in the US.
