It amazes me that a band that made this track also made Their Satanic Majesties Request - and that this brilliant track is on that awful album. Their most bizarre album ever. 4 great tracks, 6 horrible ones.
An "awful" album with She's A Rainbow, 2000 Light Years From Home, Citadel and 2000 Man?
When four of the tracks are of that caliber, it's a good album already
It really should have been an EP - of the 4 great tracks.
+ The Lantern, Gomper and In Another Land, imo.
That wouldn't make it an EP now would it. You can have those three on another EP - the one no one would buy except you!
The only bad tracks are Sing This Song All Together (See What Happens) and Gomper. The rest fits together nicely and creates the right vibe for Citadel, She's A Rainbow, and 2000 Light Years From Home to hang like sparkling jewels in the twilight zone.

They all fit nicely for me. Would like to see a re-release with Child Of The Moon included.

That'd be like adding Gimme Shelter to Beggars Banquet.

Just love those 6 horrible ones and those 4 great tracks are pretty good too...

Yes, and Gimme Shelter would have fit just fine on Beggars.

That's messing with history of the albums which is stupid.

It's one of those songs that puts them in the same stratosphere as the Beatles during those mid-60s pop days. The Stones could not consistently stay with them, but moments like these put them in very rare company.

The Beatles just happened to quit right in the midst of the Stones so called greatest run of albums from 68-72.

Such a lovely song - everything about it is just perfect. Nicky Hopkins's piano alone is stunning in it's simplicity and beauty

One particular thing I love about the Satanic Sessions box set is the part where we hear Mick give Nicky suggestions with regards to making the piano play the melody with a bit more hesitation and build up in tempo of the main melodic phrase.
That boy sure did have big balls.

But the mid-60s were still about singles, and the Stones had some right up there with the Beatles.

And Macca's involvement--I wonder if that was just the random tapping on, say, a bongo drum or some other hand-held percussive drum during that string break, toward the end. Just a few taps as random as the rain.
Come to think of it, there have been several studio pics dating from 1967 posted here on IORR showing Macca sitting in the studio with Mick and Keith--perhaps one or more of those were taken during those sessions.

The Stones have only written two bad songs in 52 years and the six you have alluded to here are not one of those two. Satanic is great from top to bottom. Sweet Neo Con and Back To Zero are not on Satanic.
