Re-sequencing ‘Their Satanic Majesty’s Request’ (And other Albums by the Rolling Stones)

[Madzong]

A psychedelic sequel of sorts to my post on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Often thought a mis-step / attempt at chasing the psychedelic bandwagon, the Stones produced an album that had some good songs, and to paraphrase Keith Richards ‘crap’.

I ask this because I have always wondered what the album would have been like if it had the wonderfully superior ‘We Love You’ and it’s equally awesome b-side ‘Dandelion’.

My thoughts are to possibly remove the unfocused, meandering (and mostly instrumental) ‘Sing This All Together’ (See What Happens) and substitute it with these two tracks but how would that leads me to my question:

What would the re-sequencing Of this album look like if these tracks were added and what tracks do you think should be removed?

What are people’s thoughts?

This was my attempt at a more cohesive tracklist:

1. Sing This Altogether
2. Citadel
3. In Another Land
4. We Love You***
5. Dandelion***
6. She’s A Rainbow
7. The Lantern
8. Gomper
9. 2000 Light Years From Home
10. On With The Show

Here is also my new version of Aftermath which combines both the best of the UK and USA versions of the album plus 19th Nervous Breakdown which was recorded at this time:

1. Mothers’ Little Helper
2. Stupid Girl
3. Lady Jane
4. Under My Thumb
5. Doncha Bother Me
6. Going Home

7. Flight 505
8. High And Dry
9. Out Of Time
10. It’s Not Easy
11. I Am Waiting
12. 19th Nervous Breakdown**
13. Think
14. Paint It Black**
