As indicated above, this set was ripped from an original Midnight Beat box.
While other versions circulate on the internet, this is (to my knowledge) the
first to contain the .cues and .logs that have become de rigueur (and at least
one of the circulating versions has occasional diginoise). This is a secure rip,
so every stray tick you hear is on the original CDs. Those who take a gander at
the .logs will observe that the occasional track failed Accuraterips
verification process. In each case, those tracks would be re-ripped on another
drive--and they all matched the original results contained in these logs.
Because the current Accuraterip confidence is 1, it is probable that these
values are correct and the ones Accuraterip currently has are wrong, in part.

Satanic Sessions, an up-close and personal glimpse inside the recording of the
Stones 1967 masterpiece, was issued in two versions: a beautifully packaged,
two-times-four-disc boxed set from Midnight Beat, limited to just 1,000 copies
and featuring a well-designed if lacklusterly annotated booklet, and a CD-R
knockoff, which preserves the music, if not the wrapping. Either, of course, is
going to set listeners back between 250 and 300 dollars; both, however,
represent one of the most complete examinations of a classic albums creation
that listeners have yet been privy to. Their Satanic Majesties Request is one of
the most contentious albums in the Stones entire catalog. Famously, it was these
sessions which finally persuaded manager Andrew Loog Oldham that he no longer
had a place in the bands hierarchy; arguably, Brian Jones felt the same way. And
the bands U.S. label, London, was so underwhelmed by the bulk of the album that
when it came to choosing singles, bassist Bill Wymans In Another Land weighed in
ahead of almost anything Jagger or Richards wrote. Nine instrumental takes --
partial and complete -- of In Another Land catch the songs genesis, and that
sets the flavor for the rest of Satanic Sessions. Across the eight discs, 19
songs are pursued through their development. Few are ever completed; rather,
takes often break down after just a minute or so, and while one initially feels
privileged to be sitting in on such private and rarely heard moments, the thrill
swiftly dissipates somewhere around the umpteenth run-through of the intro to
2000 Man. Remember, these performances are instrumental only; the only vocal
action comes from the control room, announcing the next take number. Neither
should one be taken in by the apparent presence of some hitherto unknown titles.
While Majesties Honky Tonk could have slotted seamlessly into the finished album
(take three is most recommended), Gold Painted Nails -- the only other titled
track -- is simply a grandiosely named jam which doesnt go far, despite
consuming most of one well-stuffed disc. At five minutes in length, take 17 is
the most rewarding, but it isnt Shes a Rainbow by a long chalk. Elsewhere, Five
Part Jam, Blues 3, and Jam are exactly what their titles suggest -- jams and
blues jams which could as easily be the band relaxing between takes as the
genesis of some future classic. Ditto Title 15, which arouses interest only
because Title 12 earlier in the cycle eventually resolved itself into 2000 Light
Years From Home. There are also multiple run-throughs for We Love You, together
with the bones of Child of the Moon and Jigsaw Puzzle, none of which of course
actually date from the Satanic Majesties session. Absent, on the other hand, is
the one Majesties outtake with which most fans are familiar, the freaky and
festive Cosmic Christmas. There again, with the only known version clocking in
at 33 seconds, there could not have been too many run-throughs called for.
Ultimately, then, Satanic Sessions is a very large and incredibly unwieldy
proposition to set before even the most devout Stones enthusiast, a case of
getting way too much of a good thing (in this case, the manufacturers gaining
access to the session tapes), and in terms of listening pleasure, pretty damned
boring. However, there is certainly at least one excellent alternate Majesties
single-disc collection to be compiled from the full box, dominated by a stunning
14-minute Sing This All Together and bolstered further by early takes of Flowers
in Your Hair (aka Shes a Rainbow), Fly My Kite (The Lantern), and take one of
the aforementioned Title 12. But anybody lured into the Stones sessions business
by the similarly bulky Voodoo Lounge collections is not going to be so easily
won over by The Satanic Sessions, nor as ready to sit through multiple listens
to the package. Even diehards have to draw the line somewhere.
