Surely no one is mad enough a completist to wish to acquire every variant in this case? This is overkill, even by the overkill standard these days of multiple variants to entice multiple purchases. Buying the same album 50 times though, can you imagine!

I can see why; Stones streaming numbers are not the best, they're still a band whose main fanbase purchase physical copies. Not enough presence in the streaming world - they have big streaming hitters, but not a consistent catalogue of streaming. So innumerable variants, enough to even be almost provincial (your local butcher shop likely has a variant of this).

I have two CD copies (Japanese edition for the bonus track, and standard edition), getting the cassette as it's a nice collectable. Oh, and the CD/Bluray - okay, so 4 copies, only time I've ever got more than two. I havent got the local blacksmiths variant or the shoe shop's special edition
