TSMR stands for Their Satanic Majesties Request. It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out. Hopkins, if you want people to participate in your thread, you need to be more specific. Not being sarcastic, but just trying to help out.
If I said my favorite Stones songs were GGA, TAY, LWYD, or SS, would you instantly know what I was referring to?
Yes, it's difficult, and at the beginning I was constantly at a loss but after a while you get used to it. The longer ones (YCAGWYW) are the easiest. It's the short ones that are more diffucult but normally they're only used for the greatest hits. I don't think I have ever seen someone referring to certain songs as H or S or S or S or S . Sometimes googling helps too (i.e. try "Rolling Stones SFTD" ).
Still, the distinction between Beggars Banquet, Between The Buttons, Black And Blue, Bridges To Babylon and Brigit Bardotte often escapes me.

I guess I should go listen to Majesties again. While I've continued to listen to the standout tracks, it's been so long that I can't even remember what Gomper or Lantern sounded like. But in my general history of Stones fandom, this is the only album where I've let some of it completely disappear from my memory. Guess those tracks didn't leave much of an original impression.

The beginning of Gomper (the vocal melody) always reminds me of a certain song of Velvet Underground (Lady Godiva's Operation) but then it decays in a new-age-hippy jam. The Lantern has great guitars, but the vocals are a bit too hippy-ish. Still, it kinda works.

The vocals are kind of freaky, but with cool harmonies. Not unlike the vocals on Child Of The Moon.
Aerosmith must have been inspired by these songs when arranging Sweet Emotion, which sounds very much like COTM, vocal-wise, imo.

And quite a few songs on Get Your Wings like Spaced or Seasons Of Wither.

Grr, you people!
Child of the Moon was written and recorded after Their Satanic Majesties Request was released, thus impossible for it to have been included on the album.

I don't really care when it was recorded. It still would have made TSMR a better album, instead of Sing This All etc... and On With The Show
It's understandable. COTM seems to have made its first appearance in '67 during the "Satanic" sessions. And (I think) it s on the Satanic Box Sets.Quote

Yeah, but it's stupid to talk of including a 1968 track on an album released in 1967.
Jumpin' Jack Flash would have made it a better album too!

Says you who doesnt care about when a song was written/recorded? If they had re-released TSMR in 1974 and had included Child Of The Moon you´d be the last one to complain.

No, it wouldn't because it's got a completely different style. JJF clearly already belongs to the era of Beggars Banquet and everything that comes after that. Whereas Child Of The Moon clearly has that psychedelic feel that reminds one of TSMR.

No proof it appeared during TSMR sessions. Mick wrote it during his holiday in South America in late 67/early 68.
Those two takes of COTM on the box set, like Jigsaw Puzzle, are from 1968.

The earliest takes of COTM sound like mid 1967, not 1968. I have three or four early instrumental takes. The lyrics may stem from the holidays.
Yes, but I;m not talking about proof,I am saying it is understandable for someone to throw COTM in with Satanic bag.Quote
