I want to hone my description, for you, but-- of course!!-- can I locate the sumbitch right now?
The dislocation is particularly bothersome, because not only did I want to eye-ball it for description's sake, now I have the taste for hearing it.

Well.
It was not packaged in a "plastic jewel-box." Fold-out cardboard. Had the UK cover; you know, the truly disturbing yellow-brown toilet-with-graffiti shot.
The Let It Bleed edition, bought at the same time, says 2002, so figure on about the same for Banquet. Published by Abkco; apparently, these re-issues have the "double-layer" bit, where one of the layers is SACD [["Super Audio") and will play, thusly, on SACD players. [[If the sound of the regular "layer" is any indication, the SA layer must be jaw-droppiful.)
Bottom line is, look for the ones packaged in shrink-wrapped cardboard, and take the search from there.
