Stones' greatest classics toned down for China tour

The Rolling Stones may now be welcome in China, but China may be ready for only 36 licks and no "Brown Sugar."

Mick Jagger and the gang arrived in Shanghai on Thursday for their first concert in mainland China.

The group's 2002 greatest hits collection, "40 Licks," was cut by the censors to just 36, and "Brown Sugar," "Honky Tonk Women," "Let's Spend The Night Together" and "Beast of Burden" were cut from the mainland Chinese release, apparently due to suggestive lyrics. It wasn't clear if the songs would be featured when the group performs on Saturday night.
