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 album's 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 band's hierarchy; arguably, Brian Jones felt the same way.
