The first part is not so bad, but the melody is very very similar to Lady Godiva's Operation from Velvet Underground. Which was recorded in September 1967, but came out January 1968, according to wikipedia. TSMR was recorded from Feb - Oct 1967, and came out December 1967.
Is it possible both bands came up with the same melody around the same time? Maybe the roots of the melody lie in some obscure Tibetan folkband everyone has forgotten about but was all the rage at that time? Or did the Velvet Underground hear Gomper before it was published?
Or is it all just my imagination, running away with me?
Stones were following Velvet Doors Traffic Winwood closely, evident in 1968/1969

Stylistically or musically?
What about financially, sexually or philosophically?

So you think the Stones heard Velvet's Lady Godiva before it came out and this inspired them to make Gomper? Because it came out after TSMR.

... Now, that would be an interesting experiment: to take that album, strip it down and do it over.

I have to admit that , for me, the biggest problem with TSMR is that whatever system or playback device I've used...it's sounded horrible !

It's the sound of the album I've never been able to get on with.
With few exceptions the instrumental timbre is thin, harsh and strident in the extreme.
I know that some of it is kind of intentional ...but I just don't like it.

Gomper and Sing This All Together for 8 pointless minutes mar what is otherwise quite a strong album. Even with the 2 aforementioned clunkers, the FACT is TSMR is still light years ahead of Between the Buttons in terms of songwriting – it was a giant leap forward for Keith and his band. As easy as it is to criticize this record, that fact shouldn’t be denied.
