According to a poster (MisterJ) on IORR :

Bill wasn't there during the original photo session. The pictures were later reworked to include Bill's face.

One of the original pictures can be seen on "Taxile On Main Street" 2LP bootleg.

That said, its not like there are no available photos of the five of them from that era that could have been used. If Bill could be 'added' in 1972, he could be photoshopped in in 2010.

Reply #7 - Apr 16^th, 2010 at 11:08am They should of left Bill in the picture! That sucks for him, but again I suspect this is MICK's way of 'punishing' Bill for quitting, as he punished Mick T for the same reason. IMO.

Reply #8 - Apr 16^th, 2010 at 11:42am I disagree. I think they went back to the original negative for this "new" website image since the original cut-and-paste is more than likely missing or is in serious disrepair, and there is a huge difference between the two images just in contrast alone.

I don't think this one is a slight against Bill.
When you compare the two images you can see how muddy the resolution was in the 72 postcard to hide the cut and paste job to put Bill's head on the other guy's body. Look at the confetti around his neck. It's all muted and faded. If you look closely you can just about make out the cut line.
In a digital reprint of the 72 shot all of that would be more noticeable.
This looks like going for the original negative to me as well.

Just wait 'til the day comes when they put out stuff like 'The BBC Sessions' and see what they have planned for Brian Jones!

Agreed.

If Bill is a "non-person" to the Stones now, imagine what they'll do to Brian? Sad
