Background: In the late 1970s, record collectors were showing a lot of interest in colored vinyl records and record companies around the world saw a good opportunity to make money by pressing limited numbers of then-current and older titles on colored vinyl for collectors…to be sold at a premium price, of course.
A number of titles by the Rolling Stones were pressed on colored vinyl in the Netherlands as part of that trend, and for a short time in 1978 and 1979, you could find a half a dozen different Stones albums at your local record store on various colors of vinyl.
Among them was the 1967 LP Between the Buttons, which was released on yellow vinyl. The version issued there is the UK version of the album, which includes the songs “Back Street Girl” and “Please Go Home” but not the songs “Ruby Tuesday” and “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” which appeared on the U.S. release.
