This Rolling Stones album will forever be compared to The Beatles Sgt Pepper – their 1967 psych album, many of the major acts of this time were producing albums in this style. Satanic Majesties has never received the full recognition I believe it really deserves. For sure, a massive change of direction from the previous albums and it all may have been too much for many of their fans. Often described as a ‘flawed classic’, but I have heard few flaws myself. A brave and compelling album, a little weird (by their standards) for sure but many moments and songs of true genius – ‘She’s a Rainbow’ and ‘2000 light years from Home’ always sound so much better here than compilations, and both songs remain personal favourites within their singles catalogue. This album is a barrage of sound with brass, psychedelia and effects, and for The Rolling Stones, a real one-off. For me it’s one of those albums that’s totally essential in both mono and stereo as they sound very different. The mono version offers a more punchy sound with greater bass depth and warmth. The stereo version has wonderful imagery and presence – and of course separation which is so essential for psychedelic music. Take the brass blasting out of the speakers at the very start of side one – it hits you full in the face, and the album just does not let up – this is a very intense experience that can leave you spinning.
