@funkydrummer - This is very cool.. Like others I feel that We Love You should be included, but I get why you feel confident in this running order! I'll just leave this here...

Yeah, we know all that, but what we don't know when the song was actually written and first demos/sketches were recorded by the band or indicidual members. It clearly has that psychedelic vibe and would have fitted perfectly on TSMR. Apart from that, it should not be forgotten that music is actually for listening, and while all these discussions which center around historical correctness might of course attract a (not more than a, unfortunateley) handful of diehard fans all over the world, it can get a bit trainspottery when the discussion revolves around the inclusion or non-inclusion of one particular song and forgets the project as a whole, which goes a bit on my nerves, sorry, but it must be said! Funkydrummer did a G R E A T___J O B with this. One should not forget that this is a 2014 re-imagination of an album that was released in 1967, and I'm pretty sure that ABKCO or even the Stones themselves would have included Child Of The Moon and shitted on historical correctness if they felt that it was a perfect fit in pure musical terms. It's not that the band itself proved an all too tight historical correctness with their recent archive projects (Claudine, We Had It All and Tallahassie Lassie from the Some Girls sessions?).

5. "Dandelion" and "Child of The Moon" have their natural place in the flow of side one, but I can't help that both of them sound a bit anomalic in the context. Thematically alright, but as songs both are a bit too conservative and 'constructed'. "Dandelion" has that BETWEEN THE BUTTONS era cohesive melodic pop song vibe in it, and "Moon" too much Jimmy Miller precision and tightness in it. But I wouldn't still kick them out, but a room for "We Love You" is needed! That song belongs there! 6. I missed the vocals in "Gomper"... But what a great job, funkydrummer! Best Stones studio album for ages... grinning smiley I will make a copy of it and play it regularly, and actually my psychedelia/prog rock crazy friends will have a copy/a listen as well! Thank you!smileys with beer - Doxa

This was a lovely compilation, funkydrummer. On some of the songs I missed the harmonies, as well as the tremolo guitar on The Lantern, though, but You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Nice work!

Had a listen, nice editing.
Their Satanic Majesties Request as it was released in 1967 has a unique atmosphere, an LSD sheen that shines bright, but creates mysterious shadows.
Alimente mentioned music is for listening, obviously so, and more than anything it is the music itself and the albums running order that shows the stones, to the best of their abilities and mind set at the time, got it right the first time around.
This re-imagining is interesting, but it takes more away from the album than adds to it when it comes to atmosphere, light and shadows.

I know there are lots of different opinions on the "Mickboy' series but I have to admit his 1999 "restructure" of TSMR is very entertaining and a favorite listen of mine....here's the tracklist:
1.Sing This Song Altgether
2.Citadel
3.Dandilion
4.In Another Land
5.2000 Man
6.Child Of The Moon
7.Cosmic Christmas
8.She's A Rainbow
9.The Lantern
10.Gomper
11.2000 Light Years From Home
12.We Love You
Bonus tracks:
1.2000 Man-Vocal isolation
2.She's A Rainbow- vocal/moog
3.Dandilion- original 45 Mono mix
5.We Love You- Original 45 mono mix
6.2000 Light Years- vocal isolation
7.Dandilion-Charlie drum mix
8.We Love You - vocal isolation with Lennon/McCartney vocals.
7 and 8 of the bonus tracks are really a hoot! as I said, not for everybody but I listen to it quite a bit. The only other LP Mickboy took this many liberties on the tracking is "Black & Blue" (another one I listen to a lot) and the result is quite enjoyable.

Mick would never give the green light to a TSMR 50th box set (as much as I'd love to see that released…I'd be first in line to purchase this but it will never happen)...

TSMR is a knock-out record as far as them being psychedelic.
The Satanic Sessions box sets enriches our understanding of that period.

Alpha Centauri and Ricohet are the ones.

At the time, in a most simplified description, I experienced ATEM and PHAEDRA as music which floated out of the speakers, vibrating, increasing and decreasing in intensity in a most fascinating way. I bought PHAEDRA then. ATEM first years later, together with ALPHA CENTAURI. However, right or wrong, my impression of RUBYCON and RICOUCHETTE was more in the vein of rhytmic experiments that I did not find then as interesting. In fact, I bought those two albums since, but never come so far as listening to them again. I have got those vinyl releases somewhere.
