Editing Between the Buttons (section)

== Marketing and sales ==
''Between the Buttons'', like many British long-players of the era, differed between its UK and US versions. The UK edition (in the form Oldham and the Stones intended it) was issued on 20 January 1967 (Mono, LK 4852; Stereo, SKL 4852) on [[Decca Records]], concurrently with a separate single, "Let's Spend the Night Together" b/w "Ruby Tuesday". As was common in the British record industry at the time, the single did not appear on the album. ''Between the Buttons'' reached number three in the UK.  In the US, the album was released by London Records in early February 1967 (mono, LL 3499; stereo, PS 499). "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday" were slotted onto the album while "Back Street Girl" and "Please Go Home" were removed (these would be included on the following US odds-and-ends release, ''[[Flowers (Rolling Stones album)|Flowers]]'', in June 1967). With "Ruby Tuesday" reaching number one, ''Between the Buttons'' shot to number two in the US, going gold.

In August 2002, both editions of ''Between the Buttons'' were reissued in a new remastered CD and [[Super Audio CD|SACD]] [[digipak]] by [[ABKCO Records]].<ref name=Billboard/> Almost all reissues of the album since 1968 have been in stereo; in 2016, the album's mono release was reissued on CD, vinyl, and digital download as part of ''[[The Rolling Stones in Mono]]''. While most reissues have used the US track listing to maximise profit by featuring the two hit singles, the UK version was re-issued by ABKCO in 2003 on 180-gram vinyl in the US.
