Give Satanic Majesties A Chance

Hope all are doing well. My 92 year old mother beat the virus. So can you. But I digress.
I never liked SMR when it came out and neither did anyone else including the Stones, who described it as "rubbish".
But times change and I decided, for some reason, to pop my 2002 Inaugural Edition Hybrid Disc 2002 in the CD player.
It was a remaster and came with a Certificate of Authenticity. Authentic rubbish I guess. But anyway - there is quite a bit of aimless meandering in some of the songs, but the album was better than I remembered. "In Another Land", "She’s a Rainbow", "Citadel" are not bad songs and they’ve managed to capture some very nice piano, drums and bell sounds.
All in all, better than I remember. Maybe give it another listen if you’re so inclined, misuse of the plural possessive notwithstanding.   Be well.

Thanks to the universe, your mother is doing well.

Yes, my 67 mono press does sound fantastic. I don’t think the entire album is  strong as their run from LIB to Exile though.

Thanks for the suggestion to pull it out of mothballs for a spin.

I even gave Some Girls a run. After that album........dicey.

The Beatles had the spotlight last week. I went through the entire catalog, including some post break up albums.

Since I don’t stream, it’s been "desert island" collection listening other than that,it’s the trusty 65 Mac FM tubed tuner.
