I love it! Experimental, raw, whimsy, fun, innovative and bold.

I would call this a great album, although puzzling probably at the time, and upon first listen.
If they had included Dandelion/We Love You on it and taken off "See What Happens", you'd have had an absolute classic.
Agreed! always thought Child of the Moon would of fit in nicely as well, but was told it wasn't written until Beggars Banquet sessions, but it sure sounds like a TSMR tune.
With these changes, this coulda been an excellent album.

It is now my favourite Rolling Stones album.

Child Of The Moon didn't come later actually Blue, it was worked on during the SM sessions (see volume 1 disc 2 of the Satanic Sessions)

Those 2 Child of the Moon work in progress tracks actually date from Beggars Banquet sessions.
Child of the Moon is very much a part of the Beggars Banquet sessions, no proof of it being wriiten in time for, or even attempted during Their Satanic Majesties Request sessions.

Thanks, I had heard that too His Majesty, it's funny because Child of the Moon sounds so "un-beggars banquet- like" and more "Satanic Request-like", even though it wasn't written yet, it would of fit TSMR album perfectly!

That's the way I feel it too...Child OTM has nothing that sounds like Beggars

Tis a pity they chose to go the more normal and boring blues/rock route from circa 1969 onwards.

They no longer had Brian Jones to get ideas.

I do not like it at all, the weakest effort of the band in my opinion, the only album that I will never hear again. A compromise with the psychedelic fashion of '67, no genuine Stones music, half-baked and boring. TSMR was an awkward chatting-up to the zeitgeist. They denied their roots due to financial interests. The same holds for Between the Buttons with few exceptions.
I totally agree. It's sad that they left their experimental spririt in the 60's when it fit so well with their new approach in 68. But they didn't have Brian's ideas and lust for odd sounds anymore after Beggar's and Keith had found a formula he obviously loved very much. It was the right thing for the Stones I guess but they loose me as a listener.Quote

I kinda wish they'd done more stuff along the lines of COTM, Pay Your Dues and Jigsaw Puzzle. Tighter ship all round compared to 1967, but still with traces of LSD in the sonics.
The lead guitars on Beggars Banquet sound very much like the lead on Sgt Pepper. Yet more linkage to psych on Beggars Banquet which unfortunatley was totally gone by 1969.
The Satanic Sessions box sets show that there is much that is similar between the sessions in 1967 and 1968. Tis a pity they chose to go the more normal and boring blues/rock route from circa 1969 onwards.
