I knew of the KISS version before the Stones version. I like both a lot but probably prefer the KISS version. 
Hmmm…I don’t consider myself a Stones fanatic, but I don’t think there is a bad track on that album. I really have only three Stones albums I like all the way ( or almost all the way ) through. That one, Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers.
Horses for courses, of course. And I agree on TSMR.
And I happen to love Between the Buttons more than any other studio Stones album. So very English! I made a pilgrimage last summer, with my then-5-year-old son, to the bit of Primrose Hill Park where the cover photo was taken. Just to give you an idea of how much I love that album. (The US version, that is. I wouldn’t have liked it quite as much had I grown up with it including “Please Go Home.” I wouldn’t have minded “Backstreet Girl,” though.)
No, because you wrote “Majesty’s” instead of “Majesties”. Fie upon rogue apostrophes!
So there are at least two of us.
I have a first press copy of this album. I bought it at a garage sale for a quarter in 1972. Still has the plastic on it and an Arlans Department Store price sticker ($3.79).
Kept that one unopened but listened to another. The album has it’s high and lows. I always thought it was odd that KISS remade 2000 Man. Who told Ace he could sing?
:smack:
Yay! 
I included “She Smiled Sweetly” in my wedding reception mixtape.
Okay, sorry for the hijack…we now return you from January 1967 to December of that year…
Around 1979, each of the four members of Kiss recorded their own solo album*, and Ace chose to include this on his.
*Interesting project. I wonder if they came up with the idea to inoculate the band against future divisive “musical differences.” Fun to speculate what other bands’ doing this might have sounded like. John Bonham solo album? (We have “Bonzo’s Montreaux,” on Coda).
“She’s a Rainbow” is great, and “2000 Light Years from Home” is still interesting.
Otherwise, pretty forgettable.
Sorry, just one more comment on Between the Buttons…one reason I like it is because, along with the previous Aftermath, it’s peak Brian Jones – multi-instrumentalist and creative world music enthusiast. So sad how Brian slowly fell apart starting in mid-1967 (as the first Satanic songs were being composed), due to the triple whammy of his own “demons,” persecution by authorities for drug possession, and what you might call psychological bullying from his bandmates (one mild example from the time period we’re discussing: Brian as a wilted flower on the cover of the odds-and-ends compilation Flowers).
It was a quickly-recorded “thank you” to the fans for supporting the Stones during their drugs charges legal proceedings. Note the jail sound effects at the start.
2000 Man was done by KISS (sang by Ace) and appeared on the Dynasty album.
My mistake. I never owned a Kiss album* – I was (poorly) recalling being ten years old and looking at my friend’s albums. Thanks for the correction!
*I did splurge on some mp3s from Alive II a few years ago.
Only number I like on that one.
In the 70’s when I was a little’un whenever I heard “Sing This All Together” I didn’t realise it was the Stones, and thought - who the fuck are these lame hippies?
I’ve got a copy. And Sticky Fingers with a real working zipper.
i’m a fan of the album, even though it is inconsistent like most Stones albums are. I always wonder what the album would have been like had Brian Jones not been completely wasted out of his mind during that time.
And how about these -

Buying albums with moveable covers was a lot more fun than downloading MP3s.
Then again, maybe Brian came up with all those mellotron effects on “@00 Light Years” while wasted out of his mind!
My Sticky fingers CD case even has the moving zipper.
