well, I do understand your point even though Child.. sounds more like a satanic song than being the b side of jjf(seems like two different eras-kinda out of place!) but if it was recorded in 68 then it is a slip.

Whiskey, the reason why I like Mickboy's remasters is because they feel far more personal than the CDs or vinyl versions that I've heard. Of course such medling with the material is not going to please the purists but it is totally wrong to say his stuff is rubbish.
Now on the subject of the running order as discussed by others... On the whole I personally prefer it when Mickboy leaves the running order the way it should be rather than tinkering with it. In my opinion it is disrespectful to the Stones to reorganise the running order and it is only Mickboy's personal opinion that things sound better reorganised (although I have no problem with him adding extra tracks as long as they're tacked on to the end).
However, having now heard his version of Satanic Majesties, I have to concur that the album reorganised in the way he has done does make an improvement over the original. Yes, it is still disrespectful to the Stones to meddle with their vision of the album and I would have liked Sing This All Together and On With The Show included somewhere on the album but in this instance I am quite happy with the new improved album that I now have.

You pretty much summed it up, judas72!!

The song was attempted in 1967, but it appears that they didn't get as far as a finished master or anything. The released b side is a 100% 'new' recording from the 1968 - Jimmy Miller sessions.

I whole-heartedly agree with this. It does completely defeat the purpose. But that's the way most people are trading things these days. I could do it in FLAC files, but that's a much bigger time commitment -- including uploading in several pieces to Rapidshare, which seems to be the most reliable site. And most people would be requesting MP3s as soon as I posted it.

Thank you JMARKO, well worth the wait.

I forgot just how great Dandelion is.

Nothing bugs me about this. THANK YOU for posting this Mickboy!

Well put Judas72, I should think before I speak, I was really thinking aloud. Of course if something pleases someone more than others then that is a good thing, to each his own enjoyment and I guess I used the wrong term,who am I to determine what is rubbish and what is not when it comes to music.

Hi J Marko
I am having real difficulty downloading the bonus track file for Mickboy Satanic from Rapidshare and after 3 days cannot even now conect to Rapidshare.

It wouold be really helpful if you could repost the bonus tracks file on another download site but not Rapidshare.

If you can help................ many, many, thanks.

Rapid was having probs in the UK a couple of days ago, don't know if that issue's been fixed. I've had an account for several years given the amount of stuff posted on it & never a prob.

Thanks for the info Vox12string. Yes I'm in the Uk, so I'll keep trying for a while longer and hope the links improve.

Here's the bonus track file posted on Gigasize:

Many thanks for your time and trouble J Marko.
I got it!!!!!!

After downloading this cd and verifying the artwork i noticed 1 track missing from the downloaded files.

The missing track is 18. Dandelion (Charlie's drum mix) version.

If anyone can upload this track only in 320 bkps since this is already in mp3. Of course if someone can upload the whole cd in flac would always be better and welcomed too.

Thanks in advance.
