ALBUM OVERVIEW:
â?˘ This is the 50th anniversary special edition of the classic album, originally released in December 1967.
â?˘ Recorded at Londonâ??s legendary Olympic Studios during the heady days of the â??Summer of Loveâ??, in a landscape of fervent creativity â?? Pet Sounds, Sgt Pepper, Hendrix, the Velvet Underground and The Who â?? Satanic Majesties stands out as a dramatic landmark.
â?˘ The bandâ??s first full venture into the world of â??psychedeliaâ??, it may have split critical opinion at the time but is long overdue for reassessment â?? an innovative and experimental piece, as much influenced by Coltrane, John Barryâ??s spy thriller scores and classical composers as the Blues and Râ??nâ??B of previous releases.
â?˘ Produced by the band, engineered by Glyn Johns and with string arrangements by John Paul Jones it features some of their most imaginative soundscapes, which included African rhythms, mellotrons, â??found voicesâ?? and full orchestration.
â?˘ Amongst the song highlights are the beautiful She's A Rainbow with its elegant harmonies, piano intro and strings, the powerful, riff-driven Citadel and the imposingly dark cosmic rocker 2000 Light Years From Home.
â?˘ It also features Bill Wymanâ??s debut writing and singing credit on a Stones release - In Another Land.
â?˘ The pioneering packaging â?? a â??lenticularâ?? sleeve with a 3D-style Michael Cooper image of the band and the albumâ??s title (a adaptation of the wording, â??Her Britannic Majesty Request and Requires â?¦â?? on British passports), both confirmed the groupâ??s creative intent and also its satirical attitude.
â?˘ Uncut magazine recently called it a â??a neglected psychedelic masterpieceâ?ť
