Not to say that what we have here is bad, it's just that this isn't a necessary purchase by any stretch of the imagination. However, it's cheap compared to full length albums, and if you're curious, why not pick it up?
The Neptunes, Fatboy Slim, and Full Phatt, each recorded their own remix of 'Sympathy for the Devil', one of if not THE greatest track, that the Stones ever cut. Each remix had also been cut down for the radio, so both versions of each remix are included here. Quite frankly, I find listening to the radio versions a waste of time, since they're only included to beef up the cd, somehow, but i guess for the sake of being complete, it makes sense.
The Neptunes' remix, in my opinion, is the best of the three. It stays true to the style of the original, while at the same time, being fresh and interesting. This is especially true when the beginning of the last verse starts (after the guitar solo), and the music changes to the acoustic guitar, and the string arrangements.
Fatboy Slim's remix, is ok, at best. Although, this one is worth a listen, because somehow, they got their hands on an extended version of the original recording, which includes more riffs from Keith's guitar, and Mick growling, which was cut due to the fade out.
Full Phatt's remix is the one that i don't really care for. The techno/dance beat just doesn't work for me. Still, for the sake of being new and somewhat interesting, i guess it's worth at least one listen.
And lastly, we have the original, which first appeared on the Beggars Banquet album back in '68, and as it proves once again, is untouchable.

Everyone has a different opinion regarding these remixes and frankly, i just can't see myself listening to this whole album in one sitting as there is too much redundancy. These are essentially three remixes of the same song, with a long and short version of each for a total of six track ranging from under four minutes to over 8 minutes in lenght.
But never mind all that!
This album is A MUST for anyone because of it's last track: The original Sympathy for the Devil, beautifully remixed in 5.1 Multichanel Audio. Here, the lead guitar and vocals use the center chanel and the congas and maracas have been sent to the surrounds to provide a nice envelopping sound without getting cheezy...
If only all the Stones' Abkco rereleases were like this!

Well, if you were to pick a song that is the most infamous Rolling Stones song it could be this one,
"Sympathy For The Devil". This is the one song that seemed to personify the Stones during a very
difficult time of their career. Tons of rumors fly around this song.

If you collect Stones and are a completest or love this song and want really clean CD and SACD
versions this is the disk for you. The price is right and you get remixes by The Neptune's, Fatboy
Slim and Full Phatt as well.

This disc is a hybrid and states that the normal CD benefits from the Direct Stream Digital (DSD)
technology as does the SACD version. DSD uses high sample rates to capture the full range of the
music beyond the usual CD.

The SACD version uses multichannel surround sound for 6 separate channels. Each channel is DSD
in 5.1 surround. So whether you have a regular CD player or one that plays both you will hear a
difference.

The front cover is the Stones logo of the lips and tongue in that reflective material. The logo seems
to be on fire as you move the cover around a bit. Meh. The back cover has the usual info; track
listing and times, blurb on the DSD disc and a promo for 'The Making of The Original Sympathy For
The Devil' on DVD.

The remixes are okay. I certainly could see them being more conducive to the dance floor than any
where. Personally, I tend to prefer Full Phatt's Radio Remix more than the others. It has a halting
beat which gives the song a different viewpoint. You've got here a total of 31 minutes of remixes and
then the original at the end, clocked at 6:16 for a total of 36 minutes of music.

You get exactly what you are promised in this one. Given we probably all bought it due to the curosity factor, of course, no one who bought this really should be bitching too much.
The last track is the original March-June 1968 mix that became the classic with Jagger, Richards, Wyman, & Watts plus Rocky Dijon's congas, Nicky Hopkins' piano and Marianne Faithful and Anita Pallenberg adding vocals. Then you get 6 remixes, 2 each by the Neptunes, Fatboy Slim, and Full Phatt.
The Neptunes pair is by far the best....leaving Mick to do some acapella work works great plus they had enough sense not to try to outdo the original length (something Fatboy Slim should have considered as his full length remix exceeds the original by more than 2 minutes.....without adding significantly to any acoustic experiences of the Stones original mix)....so what is the point of a remix again?
Full Phatt does a decent job on both.....the first is better in my opinion but both are good enough they should have run in second place, not third.
Finally, this would be much better if there were more of the classic recordings of the song that have already been done with perhaps the version from Maxx or one of the other DVDs.
