The Rolling Stones Singles Box Set sampler - licensed version metadata
Licensed Polydor track metadata identifies the full Beast of Burden (4:25) and Emotional Rescue (5:39), separately from explicitly labeled live performances, edits and remixes. Copyright/remaster years on individual tracks are not original-release evidence. | Reviewed 2026-10-17
Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The retained annual row does not identify its presentation. Licensed metadata establishes the full recording, while a secondary edition locator reports shorter promotional and compilation edits that still need primary-edition confirmation. Keep this actual annual candidate provisional; this is uncertainty, not a claim that the retained row is a different recording.

About The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones emerged from London's blues and R&B scene in 1962. Their early singles drew on American performers such as Chuck Berry before Mick Jagger and Keith Richards developed the band's original songwriting. The catalog moved from concise singles to expansive albums including Beggars Banquet and Exile on Main St., and later absorbed dance rhythms on Some Girls and Emotional Rescue. Recording continued across decades, including Hackney Diamonds in 2023.
