Rolling Stones- Their Satanic Majesties Request

A quick introductory note: I've never understood the "Sgt. Pepper" comparisons. If there is a Beatles connection, I'd say that "Satanic Majesties" has more in common with strands of "Magical Mystery Tour." Even better, it strikes me more as reminiscent of British psychedelic masterpieces from 1967 like "S. F. Sorrow," "Piper at the Gates of Dawn," and "A Whiter Shade of Pale." I have two words to describe the remaster: "Brilliance and definition." It offers the former by way of the clarity of a digital recording and the latter by way of refinements in digital technology to better capture the nuances in the master that didn't make it into the grooves of the original vinyl release and were compressed out of the initial CD releases. The stereo and mono mixes each have their own merits. The latter offers variations in arrangement. For example, in the mono mix of "The Lantern," the horn section interlude that is so prominent in the stereo mix during the bridge sections is pushed into a shadowy corner of the sonic picture. In addition, across the album, the mono mix enunciates which layers of a song the band intended to be heard as most salient. For example, similar to "Beggar's Banquet," at times Nicky Hopkins' piano seems equally front and center as Jagger's vocal. The remastered stereo mix offers considerable depth, form, and texture on every instrument. This lends itself to a much fuller, warmer, "right there in the room with you" feeling to the sound. Accordingly, the nuanced interplay among the instruments is much more pronounced compared to previous editions of the album.

In 1998, I was 13 years old and just discovering the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. I had borrowed a tape of this album and used to just listen to it non-stop on my walkman. It was simpler days at that time. I had no internet access. All I had access to was books to read about the Stones and to listen to the actual music. It was mystical. This album I mean. It had sounds, effects that I had never heard before. I grew up listening to this album and I do love this album. It was part of my life growing up and discovering the world. Researching into the history of sound recording, the history of rock music etc. I had always related this album to Sgt. Pepper. I mean the similarities are there (the album cover for example and the whole experimentation etc). Musically, the two albums couldn't be more different. Now that the internet is a part of everyday life, I recently started reading about Majesties Request and found that people are not as fond of this albums as I. And reading further into it, the recording sessions were kind of messy and stretched out over a long period. This is in contrast to Sgt. Pepper, when the Beatles committed full time into the studio. Nevertheless, I hear none of that. All I hear is my childhood. Love every song

I love this album. At the time when I was young this album was in stores with its original 3D cover. The album contains "She's A Rainbow" and "2000 Light Years From Home"( which future Led Zep bassist John Paul Jones appears on. In fact John and Paul of The Beatles sing backing vocals here ( I can't say shhh- it's against record company policy.Lol. What about the rest of the album you ask? It's psychedelic and experimental (different indeed). The band KISS did a cover of "2000 Man"( not a typo- 2 songs have "2000" in in them.) Song facts aside, there are 8 real good songs on it. Bill Wyman sings his "In Another Land" song with help from SMALL FACES. I've always liked the " phaser" enhanced vocals. Not convinced to obtain this yet are ya? Ok I've had this on Vinyl, 8 Track, cassette and CD- thats enough proof for at least myself to give this CD a listen. The Stones have many great albums - judge for yourself , give it a listen!

If you've never listened it's pretty much what an I SPY book would sound like if it was an album. You have these impromptu noise sessions that I'm personally not crazy about but I know some people would love, and next to those there's the songs themselves that are some of the best written from this period by any band. It has a nice balance of fantasy and futurism and feels like a picture book I'd read at night as a kid. At the time it was considered a Sgt. Pepper's knockoff but I think it holds up well on it's own and has aged well. It would've been nice to have included both the stereo and mono mixes like I've seen some cd releases of other albums from the time do, but I have no other complaints

I was very pleased with my anniversary edition of a vintage Rolling Stones album with the original lenticular cover, it was just as great as the original release. I can not attest to the inside cover or the vinyl, as this album was purchased not to be played, but as an addition to my collection and will not be opened. I have the album in several formats. Easy no hassle transaction, reasonable priced products.

The stones at the height of the psychedelia period of the late 1960's. It has been stated before that it is one of their most underrated albums, and I hold that to be true. These songs are great! The mono versions of these songs found in the London Years singles collection sound a bit different than the stereo versions of this cd. Both are great but the mono versions sound better to me. Especially 2000 light years from home has an eerie feeling on mono that the stereo version doesn't have. But truth to be told, this album is great nonetheless.

O disco chegou dentro do prazo e está em perfeita ordem funcionando muito bem.

Está muy bonito. Demasiado bonito

Top product!

What is there to know! It’s the Rollin Stones! A triumphant piece in the annals R&R that gets at the essence of the Stones’ message to a world in tumult at the time. A message no less relevant to our world at present. Add this album to your collection if you believe that as a society; we are just lost in the wilderness.

これはmonoできくとすんげーいいっすよ モノボックスので聴いた時はそんなにわかんなかったけど50周年盤のmonoで聴いたらなんかstereoとは聴こえて来る音が違ってすごいよかった monoがいいかstereoがいいかという話ではないです好きなものを好きに聴けばいいじゃんというような感じの話ですわ 高校生の頃はお金無いんでsuperbuyってシールが付いてたアメリカ盤買ってなんかイッオンリーロックンロールとは全然違げーけどストーンズ聴きたいからってんで繰り返し聞くから憶えちゃうくらい聴いてるのはstereo盤だったからmonomixの音の配列は新鮮だった ベガーズとかブリードもさすがの曲収録でなるほどなんだけどだらだら聴くならこれだよもう疲れずズーっと繰り返し聴けるから そんでミックの声もこの音に合ってんだよなんか
