Nightfly;

Thanks for posting this!
I found out about this deal on Saturday when I went in to use my 40 downloads before they expired. I was surprised and shocked to say the least.
As a matter of fact, there is more Abkco stuff there. I downloaded a Marianne Faithfull album of her best stuff which is very good.
As a long time user of Emusic ( I remember when 10 bucks could get you unlimited downloads) I am glad to see Emusic come of age. While I used to have trouble finding stuff to use up my 40 downloads per month, now my "Saved for Later" section is getting bigger all the time.

No problem!

I wanted to share my excitement..this is a big deal for all rock and roll fans,
all at 256vbr as well.. and stuff like "Metamorphosis" that hasn't been around in a while...I even got Ya,Ya's instead of ripping it for my player.

There's some cool stuff there that should be checked out by every Stones
fan.

Chris;

Thanks for finding this! I am downloading now, which is a pleasant surprise as I forgot that I had 7 bucks on account at Fiesta.

Thanks again and let us know if you find more Stones gems!

Reading Mojo magazine, I once again see Their Satanic Majesties Request described as the Rolling Stones' biggest mistake. Does anyone else disagree with that opinion?
True, it's not a typical Stones album and it's definitely "of its time" but I always enjoyed it - and it contains one of their best tracks, 2,000 Light Years From Home.
It's a patchy album - but quite a few Stones albums are patchy. Any views?

As a long time Stones fan (as a point of reference: I bought and still own the first dozen or so Stones LP's on vinyl. Some in mono!) I always thought SMR was a very weak release. Possibly my least favorite of the early Stones stuff.
I always justified it as the Stones answer to the Beatles Sgt. Pepper as they were released about the same time. This was a time of heavy drug use for all involved, particularly Keith and Brian Jones. This was reflected in a lot of the cuts.
This was about the time that I started to back off the Stones and not buy everything blindly that came on the market. They actually started to lose me after Between the Buttons but I continued to buy up through Beggars Banquet and much less frequently after that.
Each to their own, but I'll bet I have not listened to the complete album in at least 30 years. Maybe I'll give it a try again.

Thanks for bringing back some memories!
