REVIEW: |
According
to the back cover notes: “The Stoners 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties
Request is considered by some to be the “best ever” or the “worst ever” output
by the band. Recorded between July and October 1967, since the musicians were
not sure of what the direction of this album would be, they tried many versions.
Additionally, they recorded some titles that unfortunately didn’t make it into the
final vinyl. This project gathers together titles that unfortunately were left
out of Satanic, although they could add more touch of psychedelia if Mr. Oldham
would (have) decided to make it a double album. The best takes of the sessions
are presented here in glorious stereo sound.” This is an interesting release
that came out some years ago, obviously lifted from the well-known 8 cd Satanic
set by Midnight Beat, but some titles are imaginative. Note that at the bottom
of each label there is written Come Back BW, We Miss You.
The album
was recorded during sessions at the Olympic Studios that started in February
and ended in late October 1967: the album featured Jagger on lead and backing
vocals and percussions, Richards on lead, acoustic and rhythm guitars and
backing vocals, Jones on rhythm guitars, mellotron, organ, piano, horns,
mandolin, sitar, flute and percussions, Wyman on bass, percussions, organ and
lead vocals on one song and Watts on drums and percussions. Other musicians
helped as well: Stu, Nicky Hopkins, Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, John Lennon, Paul McCartney
and John Paul Jones among them. The sound output is excellent despite these
being outtakes. As for the
cover it has the merit to show the famous doll that is part of the folklore
surrounding the artwork of the original album.
