Japan Japanese 7" discography / London EPs - SAC series [1976]

Super Compact 800 seriesFrom 1976, the Super Compact 800 series [SAC] - or the 'Rolling Stones Best Hits' - consist in two volumes only and were the latest EPs by the band issued in Japan.
Both luxuous covers with exclusive live shots house records turning at 33⅓ rpm sporting similar black and silver labels than the OH or LS series, each coming with its lyric sheet in English.


Tell Me - London SAC 15The first EP [SAC 15] opens again - as many Japanese compilations - with 'Tell Me', coupled with 'Time Is On My Side', 'Satisfaction' and 'Let's Spend The Night Together'. The live picture is probably not casual, Mick Jagger seeming to pose like a graceful geisha.

Rarer, 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' [SAC 16], 'Honky Tonk Women', 'She's A Rainbow' and 'Let It Bleed' made this second tracklisting.

Two versions of these unique live covers exist, either in mat or gold embossed lettering [the latter of which being the more common type].
