Flowers was actually a compilation album in the US (and other
non-UK markets). For a while in the '60s, this was common
practice due to the diffferences between US and UK albums --
US companies tended to arbitrarily cut a few tracks from
albums, then compile the "extra" tracks, making 4 US albums
out of 3 UK albums. In addition, UK album releases usually
didn't include songs that had been released as singles, which
would eventually be compiled together to make a greatest hits
album. US record companies saw singles as teasers to sell
albums
(Motown was the master at filling out albums with
miscellaneous studio tracks), so they would replace album
tracks of British bands with their most recent hit singles.
"Ruby Tuesday" first appeared on Between the Buttons in the
US, then reappeared on Flowers and the octagonally covered
Through the Past Darkly. Beggars' Banquet was the first
Stones album to contain the same tracks on both sides of the
Atlantic.
Don't know what this has to do with miker's question about
term Ruby Tuesday in 1974, but Rankin reuses a lot of Stones
titles, though he has yet to use Ruby Tuesday or Between the
Buttons as titles, as far as I recall (he has used Beggars'
Banquet, along with Let It Bleed and Black and Blue).
