Thanks, that is a great and interesting thread.

Ha ha, now we're talking! It's good to see you here, my friend
Where's that joint, liddas?
It's a great album though (with that one exception). Used to blast Citadel in my car and even my friend, whom I unsuccessfully tried to convert to Stonesdom, got off on that awesome ping.
Wishing Beggars Banquet had a bit more freak edge to it, then concluding that it's better (for me) to have maybe too much freak edge rather than not enough.
Good to see you're back.
Thanks, but I meant the place they are trying to portrait.

Adorable maybe, but not always satisfying.
TSMR has some very weak spots, but shining jewels as well.
It was an experiment with rather mixed results. Anyway, I do not want to miss it. At least, it´s part of their all-time-exciting evolution. You have to listen to it without comparing it to the music they made before and after. Imo, it´s not their worst album after all. Some of the material is great indeed.
In my opinion, music does not always need to be satisfying. If all music were to everyone's tastes, there would be no need to make it in the first place. Music does also need to challenge us and make a stand.
Yes, but... where's that joint?

Yeah, but the "stones" didn't record it till after Yesterday and the arrangement of the stones release is obviously Yesterday inspired.

Always wanted to visit wherever they are on the cover. Seems like a pretty far out place.
This and Let It Bleed's album covers are a couple of my favorites.

I have been following this board for I can't remember how many years, and I can't remember one single positive comment on Sing This Song Reprise.
Possible that I am the only one to consider it the highlight of the album? The psychedelic Can't You Hear Me Knocking?
Where's that joint, liddas?

Never thought about it before but if they'd left off 'She's A Rainbow' and kept that as a single and added 'We Love You' probably would've made a stronger album.
Also, did the album have less of an impact being released so late in 1967 (was it released too late?)...

As is always the case, some say child of the Moon should have been included on Their Satanic Majesties Request, but once again I will point out that it couldn't have been as it wasn't recorded until spring 1968. 
I saw a interview awhile ago from 1969 or so in which Mick said he wrote COTM during a holiday with marianne in South America in December 1967/January 1968.

The tracks on this album are forever being fiddled with to somewhat pointlessly prove that a better product could've and should've been released. The problem as I see it is that half the songs are too good for this album and should've been saved for subsequent albums. To wit:
The Lantern should have replaced Jigsaw Puzzle on BB.
2000 Man should've replaced Country Honk on LIB.
She's a Rainbow should've replaced You Gotta Move on SF.
Citadel (a stripped down country version) should've replaced I Just Wanna See His face on Exile.
2000 Light Years from Home should've been the B-side to Angie or replaced Hide your Love on GHS.
Had they done this Some Girls would never be considered a particularly strong album because it would pale in comparison to the big five. So in a sense Some Girls owes its reputation to songs like Gomper.

While 'Between The Buttons' and 'Satanic' are spotty in places, they are among their most important albums, because they saw an evolution. They couldn't have made Beggars Banquet and the next albums without going over the top with these two records. Records like 'Some Girls' and 'Tattoo You' contains far better songs, but they are also less adventurous and are playing it safe all over. In the sixties they took chances, which is far more adorable.

It's a wonder they got this album finished with the establishment's attempts to jail Mick, Keith and Brian (not for the content of TSMR !).
This was more or less the last time the band could be accused of copying the Beatles before returning to their roots with JJF and BB album in 1968. (..You've heard the one that the Stones were copying the Beatles, "Yesterday", by releasing "As Tears Go By".....wasn't that song written in 1964 and the Fabs track written a year later?! )

50% surprisingly good. Much better than Between the Buttons, for one thing.
And then 50% horribly, horribly, embarassingly bad. Even worse than the worst on Between the Buttons. Even worse than Dirty Work.
If instead of those 50% pure horse manure, they would have put "We Love You", "Child Of The Moon" and "Dandelion" it would have been a good album.
Between the Buttons is fantastic
