Jumping Jack Flash was incredible rock/pop moment and showed them honing this new rock direction and tightening it up for the 45 single format. I think Sympathy For The Devil was the full blown rock epic so two similar beasts but with a slightly different body.

Citadel deserves a mention in this context as well, but that track still had a heavy load of psychedelia to it. It's hints on what to come in that track, though.

This is where the bootlegs come in to play, many of the basic tracks for TSMR are quite Beggars Banquet-esque.
The Satanic Sessions - Surrey Rehearsals - Jumpin' Jack Flash/Child Of The Moon - Beggars Banquet
There is much in the way of similarities.

Yep, and Keith's guitar on Stray Cat is very "Satanic-esque"

[.....A lot of cover versions make it too rock, too much emphasis on the basic riff and not on the musical air around it.

That "musical air" ,or the wash behind the bold brush strokes, is huge part of this band's magic.

JJF sounds like the work of a rock band to me, as opposed to, say, a pop group.

JJF had already been released when they started work on Sympathy. JJF sounds like the work of a rock band to me, as opposed to, say, a pop group.

Talking from memory, when JJF came out I thought it was a really powerful single, a bit like The Who's I Can See For Miles. I didn't think of it as rock although in hindsight it certainly is the beginning of that new late 60s sound. However, when I heard Sympathy For The Devil I knew that this something new altogether and when that guitar solo came on...boy oh boy...I knew we weren't in Kansas any more.

You didn't notice it's similarities to Sgt Pepper album and Dear My Fantasy lead guitars or Keith's own lead on The Lantern?

When Keith's solo comes in on Sympathy For The Devil time stands still and the universe moves to a different rhythm.
