Collector's information: Gatefold (FOC) cover design."Their Satanic Majesties Request" is the 1967 studio album by the Rolling Stones, . It was a significant departure from their previous albums, as the band experimented with psychedelic and Eastern influences. While the album was initially met with mixed reviews, it has since become a cult classic and a fascinating document of the band's evolution during a tumultuous time in history. The recording of "Their Satanic Majesties Request" was a departure from the band's usual approach. Instead of recording in a traditional studio, the band rented a house called Olympic Studios in London's Barnes neighborhood. The band members lived in the house together while they recorded the album, which gave them the freedom to experiment and create a more collaborative environment. The album's sound was heavily influenced by the psychedelic and Eastern music that was popular at the time. The band used a variety of unconventional instruments, including mellotrons, sitars. The songs were also heavily layered, with multiple tracks of vocals and instruments. The album's title and cover art were also inspired by the psychedelic era.

The album's most famous track, "She's a Rainbow," features a harpsichord, mellotron, and a string section. The song has a bright, kaleidoscopic sound that perfectly captures the psychedelic spirit of the time. Another standout track on the album is "2000 Light Years from Home." The song has a slower, more contemplative sound than "She's a Rainbow," but it still features the band's signature experimentation with sound. The song features a sitar and a theremin, which gives it an otherworldly quality. The initial reception to "Their Satanic Majesties Request" was mixed. Many critics felt that the album was a misguided attempt to capitalize on the psychedelic trend. The album's cover art and title also raised eyebrows, with some critics accusing the band of promoting Satanism. However, the album has since become a cult classic, with many fans appreciating the band's experimentation and willingness to take risks. The album is now considered a fascinating document of the band's evolution during a tumultuous time in history. |
