Satanic Majesties was a milestone LP. Most underrated Stones LP of all...

Citadel, She's a rainbow, and 2000 light years from home are the best songs on this album. Great job on narration!

This channel is so underrated

She's a rainbow is a mega tune

My favorite Stones album, but I was a teen when it came out, and definitely valued the album's ability to "blow my mind". The short era of psychedelic popularity (late 1966 to mid 1968) is my favorite period of popular music. It's great to see what the younger generation thinks of it. I'm glad that its real gems still communicate to those who didn't experience the period themselves.

"2000 Light Years from Home" sounds like Piper-era Floyd.

Also: Charlie's drumming is superb throughout.

You should review Pink Floyd Piper At The Gates Of Dawn!

The Beatles took influence from Pet Sounds to make Sgt Peppers so why can’t someone else take influence from The Beatles

Very underrated album, Citadel is amazing.

It is IMPORTANT to note that the album DOES NOT begin with "Sing This Song All Together". It starts with the Carnival Barkers luring us to the party that is about to begin. The album opens up with Nicky Hopkins playing that beautiful, harpsichord like, piano imitation of a music box in one of the premier psychedelic pieces of all time, "She's A Rainbow". If you play the album in this order it not only makes more sense as a presentation, you will understand the joke that the Stones are playing by calling the album "Satanic". In the Satanic ethos everything is backwards or upside down. How do I KNOW that this is how the Stones were looking at this? The original album is NOT labeled SIDE 1 and SIDE 2. It is labeled FRONT SIDE and BACK SIDE. I don't know about you but I often start with the back side! Now look at the songs! I have already mentioned the Carnival Barker getting us to come and join in on the fun. What song ends the BACK SIDE of the album? Why its, "On With The Show". Hardly the name of a song that ends an album. So NOW we turn the record over to the FRONT SIDE and we are asked to help the Rolling Stones, "Sing This All Together". We can see that the song now makes more sense at this point in the festivities, where we are all a lot looser and more in the mood for partying! After all that was what this record was made for! We are being asked to join in on a Rolling Stones Party! Kinda like that Beach Boys Party album, except now the keg has been replaced with joints! At the end of the FRONT SIDE we get to reprise, "Sing This All Together". By now we all know the words and can join in! At the end of the song we hear what appears to be the denouement and a final piano note that seems to playfully mock the final chord of "Sgt. Pepper". We think that this is the end but before we can get up and take the needle off of the record.....surprise! Instead of having the run out groove like the Beatles Sgt. Pepper, there is this odd other worldly track tacked on at the end that seems to meander aimlessly and dissonantly off into the distant fog. That's odd you think. I wonder what that is supposed to be? I had always heard it that way until a friend of mine told me to turn the speed up on the turntable for that one cut. The rest is history! I can never hear that track now the way I first heard it! (For one thing the orange barrels are all gone) But best wishes and Merry Christmas anyhow from me and the 1967 Rolling Stones! I honestly feel sad for all of you who weren't there with us at the time! But if you listen closely you can still hear those vibes echoing out from the distant past! Everything was magical AND, anything was possible! Even partying with the Rolling Stones!

I've always had a soft spot for this album. It has some of my favourite Stones songs and is so unique in their catalogue. I think that Sticky Fingers is my favourite but this is the one I tend to go back to the most.

I always have to remind myself that the Stones self-produced this album. It’s a surprisingly satisfying album considering it was just the band left to their own vices.

'2000 light years from home' is classic.

I really enjoy how your channel sees music from every angle and isn't biased. Also, your look is absolutely fantastic!

Review the Kinks' Arthur (Or The Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

"Where's that joint?"

I loved that album since day one. It is still an artistic inspiration for me some 50 plus years later. Brian Jones was a true genius. This is his album.

Jones was indeed the braintrust behind the Stones shaping their sound and image. He’s brilliant on Lady Jane

"in another land"is my favorite!!! the mental imagery it inspires is cool!!! "and the trees grew high, and the feathers floated by..."

2000 Light Years From Home is such a great track, perhaps the best of the record

Man, I love this album. Always have and some days I play it over and over again. Psychedelic Masterpiece!!!

Love all your reviews, but this is such an in-depth analysis of an obscure and certainly underrated stones album! Must add my support to this. Thank you.

I doubt you'll read this, but I wanted to say that this channel is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for creating such quality content, with great writing, editing and production. Keep on keepin' on

The Stones At Their Most Experimental ...

One of the most underrated 60's album I know, people always hate on it for being a Sgt. Pepper clone without taking the time to listen to it and it's so much more than that.

I remember when I heard She's a Rainbow for the first time. It was on the radio. The stereo version. The way the sounds moved from left to right and back really fascinated me. I got Through the past, darkly, in 1980. I recently got TSMR on CD. I want the vinyl. Great review of what I feel is an underrated album. And that is a beautiful turntable you have.

Thank you for the very positive track by track review. This is my favorite Stones album. Several I purchased in first run as Get your ya-yas, Sticky Fingers, Exile, etc. This is not at all a copy cat of Beatles: As you detail, it is a work of art done under a time of personal and society upheaval. Popular bands had relationships evidenced by actual work together, the use of their Mobile Studio and the various album covers. This was also a time of self reflection such as Brian Jones stating being a "Rolling Stones" wouldn't last his life. This album is best enjoyed with your own drug of choice: LSD was legal in USA until 1966, I believe. That connection, w/ now illegal drugs, and what amounted to a poor chosen title (how much different if it retained "Cosmic Christmas") caused many to forget this album. Thanks again for your though and kind spirited review .

About that "Citadel" flute sound, I believe it is the mellotrone with some echo/delay. Mellotrone can have several sounds, one of them being the flute.

Love that your reviewing a more abstract album! Would love to see that in the future.

Fantastic in-depth review. I really love these videos of yours. Have a great weekend mate.

Would love a review of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, one of the most perfect albums ever produced.

My favorite Stones album. I "may" play Pepper once a year but I play this album at least once a week. It's much more satisfying to my ears than SPLHCB. It's also better, imo. Doesn't sound predictable and orderly like their previous albums. A true creative act! Can't beat Bill Wyman's snoring at the end of In Another Land. On with the show, good health to you!

This has always painted pictures in my head, a real child of '67 creativity.

Thanks so for this review, it's definitely one of your best yet.Amazing work.

Very well researched and presented... thank you, vinyl geek!

finally wooo I was happy to find a vintage 67 copy with the lenticular image. It's cool that it was reissued for record store day as well. I like to listen to this album with the back side first. That is the possible intention because the last track on back side is "on with the show"

Great in-depth review & content overall. My only gripe is that Tim Buckley's "Goodbye and Hello" wasn't in your list of noteworthy 67' albums. There were so many amazing albums & debuts that year but I feel "Goodbye and Hello" deserves mentioning among the usual suspects & is definitely worth a listen & review. Keep up the great work!

Excellent review; really well done. I liked how you went into great detail on every song, with audio. The visuals too. You got all the facts right, and laid out with very hip attitude. Great channel.

Excellent review. Really enjoyed it. Lots of hard work put into this.

Citadel is actually my favorite track. I love this album and I never thought of this as a copy of Pepper.

2000 Light Years From Home, you hit the nail on the head. It's my favorite Stones song of the 60s.

Amazing deep and lovely enthusiastic breakdown of this outlier Stones album. Fully enjoyed it, learned a lot. Subscribed.

I love how when I think I know everything about an album but then decide to put on one of Vinyl Rewind's videos to find there's so much I didn't know about it at all. Gosh, I love this channel.

this is my favorite Stones album, maybe you would start a new series of underrated or negleted albums, cheers ¡

Even though I didn't quite agree with your final verdict I enjoyed your review a lot! Needless to say that I'm a great fan of this album!

You do a fantastic job describing the music, art and story. Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

I really appreciated watching your review. Well done. You have a lot more class than those who like to use expletives and are trying to be too over the top in their descriptions. Thanks for a very interesting video and a great review of a classic Stone's album that I hardly knew anything about!

The Stones have a lot of iffy albums, that is their charm. But even the iffy albums always have classics. If you want the Stones at their perfection, try Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Ya Ya's, Sticky and Exile. Those 5 are perfect Stones albums. You could also throw in Brussels Affair as well, bootleg or official release - bootleg is better.

I have always loved this album after all its very inovative, and i remember the day too when it was released, i was visiting a friend thst day, unfortunately no longer with us, having said that,it reminds me of those times, for me fairly happy days!!

I love this album! A tumult of colour and sound, a perfect period piece and full of charm. Add to that the “We Love You” /“Dandelion” single half way through listening for an even better experience. Great episode!

Hi! I'm a fan of your channel from Brazil, I'd like to congratulate you for your great videos and also for your so clear pronunciation in English, It makes things real easier for foreign fans like I am to understand what's being said. Thank you!

The only Stones Album I've ever heard full. Completely in love with this psichedelic piece of work.

I remember buying this album back in the 1960's. I listened to it once. I still have it. It's in perfect shape. I liked the cover more than the music.

My favourite Stones album, I love lying back with it on the headphones.

This was really fun to watch thanks!

"2000 Light Years from Home" is one of the best songs of the 60s.

As a fan who listened thousands of times to all the Rolling Stones albums and loves all their songs i think this is the greatest look at Their Satanic Majesties Request i`ve ever seen.

Most important music channel on KZfaq!! Love the content! Dude is on point with his facts, opinions, and interpretation!

Dude this video is excellent. The level of detail is very appreciated. You can tell how much you love this stuff. I’m excited to watch all of your videos. I have no idea if you’ve done any on CSNY but I hope so. They’re my current obsession.

I have never had a problem with this album i have always liked it and i remember when it was released, also reminds me of happy times as clear as yesterday, i like to measure time!

In order to truly get the full effect of this album you would have had to have been in that space in time. So much of this music was cutting edge then, and the creativity and sheer genius of their ability was on full display. These tracks are more than just a collection of songs, they represent a landmark in musical lore that defined an era that was unlike any other. It was a truly amazing record conceived during a truly amazing time.

In 1968 I was in the US Army stationed in Germany. Being a Stones fan, I automatically bought every new Stones Album. With TSMR, I was particularly fond of 2000 LYFH, since it was about being lonely and a long way from home. One night, about midnight, while I was on CQ (Charge of Quarters) duty I put 2000LYFH on the turntable which was used for Parades, and cranked up the volume. It was glorious.

I hope you take this as a compliment! You remind me of Casey Kasem! You are always a pleasure to listen too! Thank you!

Damn this is such a good review, the backstory makes things so interesting

One of my top 5 Stones Albums. I just really love the sound and confusion surrounding this record. Even the A sides and B sides around this era have their charm.

Great review and the overview has me intrigued. This is one Stones album I have always passed on but you got me tempted to pick it up, just to give it a fair shake.

LOVE this channel!!! LOVE this album!!! xoxo The Clarences

I’m glad you reviewed this. So many just write it off as a cheap imitation of the Beatles. They were so much more. This album is adventurous. The Stones took a calculated chance. It didn’t pay off in the long run but I really like this.

I would love to see a reissue of the album with the cover actually covering the whole front of the release. Would look awesome!

I've known a lot of people who were kids and young people in the Sixties and i can tell you that this album was huge at parties. When it wasn't on the turntable, it was being used to roll joints upon.

Brilliant review , i bought this in the late 70s.

I recently got into the Stones and decided to pick up The Rolling Stones in Mono box set to get their complete 60's output, thanks for making this video with fantastic information, I really feel like I have a greater appreciation for this record now! I love your reviews a lot, would you consider doing Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin?

This is one of the bitchinest albums ever made. 2000 light years from home is a masterpiece and it's worth buying the album just for that. It's a milestone and a statement on just how much diversity the stones have while staying true to their core. It's also a tribute to Jones, and an illustration of the loss of him and the band. Their sound changed measurably when he died.

Nice review. Just discovered your channel - Great work man!

I just discovered this channel last week... he is the most diplomatic reviewer I have ever heard in my entire life and for that I am very appreciative... That being said I'm 55 yet the amount of information I have learned about Pink Floyd and The Beatles in regards to these albums reviews has just blown my mind...

The whole album is a trip, the music and album art are great

I have worn the grooves out of this masterpiece of a record. This was the pinnacle of The Rolling Stones for me.

A review that happily sums up this somewhat underestimated but very important album in the career of the Stones. Good job Mister Callero!

Excellent video, really. Thank you.

I loved this album ❤ when I was a kid. Totally loved it

This one of my favorite Rolling Stones album

Good review. I love to listen to this stones period as well as between the buttons as they are rich with creativity and imagination..

First exposure to your channel. Fantastic video. Love 2000 Man, She’s a Rainbow, and 2000 light years from home.

Citadel is one of the best Stones track they ever produced imho

Review Big Star's #1 Record :)

Very good review. My personal favorite Stones album. I've always listened to this story album straight through.

Wonderful and insightful review mate. I have very fond memories of listening to this LP back in the late 80s in Australia when I was a teenager, along with the likes of 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' and Gong etc. There was something of a psychedelic revival at the time so there were many bodies and bands sporting paisley shirts, long hair, and pointy shoes etc. My fave tracks have to be 2000 Light Years from Home, 2000 Man (KISS covered it also!) and Citadel (I love the 'grungy' guitar on it) I do return to this album now and again and it brings back memories of those teenage years. I do love Let It Bleed as it has probably my favourite Stones tune Gimme Shelter, and was also created in the year I was born. Keep up the great work brother!

Possible one of the most underrated albums ever. A true masterpiece.

2000 light years from home . My all time favorite stones tune .

Excellent review! Made me decide to buy a first edition. Greetings from Sweden!

even though I have a different approach angle to this album, I agree 99,99% with you. Excellent presentation of the album and a fair and just overview, useful for young listeners. I was 4 when it came out but having older cousins into RnR came quite handy, so I'm familiar with this for half a century. Love the album.

It's my ALL TIME fave stones album .

I remember finding this in my Dad's record collection, and putting it on. It was the first time I listened to a Stones record. And the last.

Love the album 😀 Nice review, really enjoyed it 👍

Such a great album! One of my favorite Stones albums!!

heard most of the songs in the late 80's, Citidel, In Another Land, She's a Rainbow, and the awesome 2000 Light Years from home the best tracks for me. Brian and Keith at their best on 2000 Light Years. In Another Land's working demo (Acid in the Park) would have been awesome too with Brian on harp.

Check out Brian Jonestown Massacre - “Their Satanic Majesties 2nd Request”!

Yep i would buy it, i enjoyed your take on it too, thanks for posting 👍👌😃💙💞

just got yourself a new subscriber, young man 👍👍 rip Charlie 🕯
