Where's that joint?

The pretty bedröhnte album "Their Satanic Majesties Request" is often in response - and failed copy - called "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." By the Beatles, but this is not the case: the albums came almost at the same time, the Stones released their Album only due to internal problems (arrests, trials and even jail stays) half a year later out. (In addition, the Beatles and the Stones voted anyway with their publications from, so as not to come at the chart prices and sales in the way.) So when they had their manager and "producers" Andrew Loog Oldham fired recently, this has been the only Stones album, which was produced by all five. That it could not really convince, was due to difficulties mentioned above (Charlie Watts said later that it was amazing that the Stones were at that time at all an album into existence) and to the fact that "Psychedelic" and Flowerpower simply was not her specialty - that were in the same year bands like Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, etc. better. At this realization they came because even himself and pondered for a starting next album again on the Stones-typical rock, from which it never departed again.

That album however strikes the same direction as the albums of several of their contemporaries, is certainly due to the appropriate drug experiments and the then prevailing zeitgeist. The quality of the songs is mixed. Sing this all together, and On with the Show Gomper are not worth mentioning, 2000 Man and The Lantern okay. Rock bottom on a Stones album represents for me Sing this all together (see what happens), 8 Minutes set to music of imagination, apparently originated under the influence of drugs and probably to endure even in this state, similar refreshingly from listening like a year later Revolution 9 by the Beatles.

As the main pillars support four songs the album, without which it would crash mercilessly: Citadel, Bill Wyman In another country, the wonderfully melodious She's a Rainbow and the fantastic 2000 Light Years from Home. (The latter three titles were also deservedly released as singles.)

In In another country (the only authorized by the Stones Wyman composition on a Stones album) Bill conceals his inability to sing passed through a set to the song tremolo effect; She's a Rainbow blooms heavily in by Nicky Hopkins 'piano and John Paul Jones' (later Led Zeppelin) slightly wacky string arrangement, and 2000 Light Years from Home Jagger said to have been inspired by his brief imprisonment. This shows clearly Brian Jones' handwriting - who knows, maybe would have the album without the adverse circumstances in which it originated, but can be a psychedelic classic?

Did the Beatles left on the "Sgt. Pepper's" Clear Case with "Welcome the Rolling Stones good guys" a little greeting, now adorned the faces of the Beatles in flower shape the cover of Stones record. The album was released over the years every now and again in a limited edition with the famous 3D "Lenticular" cover, which became a collector's item.

Mick Jagger once said that he preferred the mono mix of the stereo mix before; This is since 2002 before class remastered and does so (especially with headphones!) really fun. (The mono mixes of the three singles We love you / Dandelion, In Another Country / The Lantern and She's a Rainbow / 2000 Light Years from Home can be found on the "Singles Collection"). I find, as usual, one would at the 2002 edition necessarily coincide resulting class single We love you / Dandelion with pack on the CD have associated just with them.
