The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request I Vinyl Monday

[@sugadelicsavagesoul8623]

Agreed! I love it! And that's that they were mostly distracted and according to them wasn't their best effort due to all the problems happening. But you could've fooled me. Their psych is probably better than some of their contemporaries imo. Could you imagine if they focused on making this their masterpiece? (Which to me it still is)

I was thrilled when they revived 2000 light years from home on their Steel Wheels tour. Over hated indeed.

[@johncollier9280]

I too am perplexed by the fact that so many critics hate this album. It remains my favorite by the Stones. Songs like Citadel, The Lantern, In Another Land, 2000 Light Years From Home, She's A Rainbow...magnificent! Sure there are a few misses in the proceedings but still it's so excellent. Thanks fer the heartfelt review!

[@shelleylyme6402]

Well, it's because so much of it is fake, laboured, plastic British psyche. Three brilliant tracks and so much garbage.

[@Khayyam-vg9fw]

The explanation is not hard to find: the critics are tin-eared idiots.

I would like if they made it longer with “Dandelion-We Love You added on it✨ Yep, this is Brian Jones inspired for sure

[@sugadelicsavagesoul8623]

I absolutely adore this album. Yep. My favorite Stones record. But I can't help think if they would've gotten rid of "Gomper", shortened "Why Don't We" and added "Dandelion" and "We Love You". It would've made the album even better and probably better liked. But, of course they didn't issue singles on albums then so it was a missed opportunity. And dare I say it, but "Their Satanic Majesties " > "Pet Sounds" imo.

[@seandodd6388]

Still think Gomper is one of the album's greatest qualities imo. Always a great trip song for me, in particular, of course among the rest.

[@plumbob35]

[@davidellis5141]

Pretty solid album - She's Like A Rainbow 🌈 & 2,000 Lights Years From Home my favorite track. Lots of stuff going on internally which makes for a at times chatioc affair. Bill even takes a lead vocal !

My dad still has all of his vinyls that he had from back in the 60’s and 70’s and this is the one I remember the most from the cover. I love Citadel. This is my favorite Stones album

JPJ is also arr strings on " 2000 Light Years From Home". Some of the SMALL FACES Lane and Marriot are on " In Another Land". The Stones usually showed up late ( or not at all.)The cover was shot in Mt Vernon NY( about 30 miles away from NYC. I love this album!!! How about the slowed down " We Wish You a Merry Christmas " at the end of side 1. Great show - Thanx!!!!! Lol- I have the sheet music for one of those songs- I will have to look for it...

[@lewistyler462]

'2000 man' is one of the best songs to me. It's quite uncanny lyrically, the Stones looking forward rather than backwards.

There's a single that was recorded around that time called 'We Love You' which was produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, and it featured Paul McCartney & John Lennon on backing vocals.

[@walterevans5658]

Believe it or not, KISS does a killer cover of "2000 Man." Ace Frehley sings it. It's on Dynasty.

[@gregwallace552]

This is my favorite Stones album. I bought it at this department store, which seems weird, but they used to have record departments there. That was in 1970 or 71. At first I didn't get it but soon I was asking my guitar teacher to teach me how to play The Citadel. He was amazing and figured out the chords after listening to it a couple of times then taught me how to play it. It's one of the few Stones albums I still listen to.

[@yourworstnightmare5902]

Very well done. Thanks for all the backstory. I actually enjoy the album. Old enough to have purchased it when it came out while I was in high school. Mine has the lenticular cover and my favorite track is Citadel.

[@robertweingartner2055]

Abigail, nice review. I like that you gave a little background on what the band was going through in 1967. I definitely think the sporadic recording sessions was in part due to all the upheavals the band was going through at the time. Looking back at the album so many years later, it is probably more popular, and more respected today then it was in 1967. There are some great tracks on this album. It’s an underrated gem to me. Keep up the good work.

[@arjaylee]

I agree re: Citadel. Great riff.

[@scottjackson163]

Jumping Jack Flash was the Stones’ antidote to their Satanic Majesties hangover.

[@George-tm1ol]

Nice review! Thanks for choosing this album to discuss. It’s sadly an often overlooked and dismissed work in the Stones catalog. There are some really cool and creative arrangements on the record. “Citadel” has always been my favorite - featuring that great guitar riff. I really like the creepy spacey atmosphere of “2000 Light Years From Home” too. I remember saving allowance money to buy a copy (reprint from 80’s) and spending hours getting lost in that beautiful album cover and packaging while listening. I’ve also always dug KISS’ take on ‘2000 Man’ off of their Dynasty LP. Great review!

[@Chicago_Podcast_Authority]

I feel like this one needs a redux. It's truly the most stunning non-Beatles psyche album experience and deserves your treatment with the skills and experience you've amassed these past two years. Cheers Abbey!

The Rolling Stones ALWAYS shadowed the Beatles during the ENTIRE 1960's. And this was their version of SGT. PEPPER'S! Look back on almost every record they made from 1964-69 and its un canny .The album covers really show how they mimic the Fabs! AND I LOVE THE STONES!!

The only person that ever knocked on my door that the dog didn't bark at was the pizza delivery guy on a Saturday night. Smart dog.

[@Khayyam-vg9fw]

Make no mistake, "Satanic Majesties" *is* the Stones' magnum opus - the culmination of the great trilogy of albums that began with "Aftermath" and continued with "Between The Buttons" (both in their authentic, UK versions, of course).

[@danopticon]

Wow. As a teen, in the late ‘80s, I frequented this vinyl shop called 2nd-Hand Tunes, a scant four blocks from my home, where I picked up _so many_ lightly-used first-press albums from their $0.99 bin … which, at the time would’ve just been some slightly old albums. So it blows my mind that my then 20-year-old near-perfect copy of _Their Satanic Majesties Request_ with the original lenticular cover purchased for 99¢ … is now a 55-year-old antique fetching over $50 on eBay. I wouldn’t part with it for anything, but it’s still crazy. Makes me rue the sh*tty roommates and friends I’ve had over the years who idly made off with many of my other albums, posters, amps, guitars, books, and oddities I’d picked up or inherited from the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. At least I still have my mom’s transistor radio she wore around Paris in 1962, and her many Beatles 45s in French! 🤗

Hey Abby. This is a great, informed review. Citadel is actually one of my favourite Stones songs.

One of my favorite albums from The Rolling Stones. The stereo affect is awesome on headphones.

[@Nick-who-loves-cilantro]

If anyone reading this comment hasn't listened to the album yet, I urge you not to sleep on it. Some of the Rolling Stones' best songs are here - "Citadel" (amazing, echoey guitar riff), "She's a Rainbow" (one of the most beautiful songs of 1967, and there's some heavy competition), "The Lantern" (seems to me like a prototype for "Moonlight Mile" and "Shine a Light"), "2,000 Light Years From Home" (spooky space rock a la Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd). Rootsy, traditional rock 'n' roll wasn't the only thing the Stones could do. "Between the Buttons" is well worth checking out too - if "Satanic Majesties" is the Stones' Sgt. Pepper, "Buttons" is their Revolver. P.S. - the mellotron that opens "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)" sounds cheekily similar to the one that opens "Strawberry Fields Forever"

[@raulmacias6146]

Abby, very informative and insightful essay! Thank You!

[@driftwoodpile]

I absolutely LOVE this album. The hidden track is a psyche version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" which makes sense given the album was to be called "Cosmic Christmas" which is an image I wish tyey had stayed with

[@BigSky1]

The end of Sing This All Together (see what happens) plays ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ if you speed it up. It is played by Bill Wyman.

[@williamlangan5902]

I’d love to see reviews on Aftermath and Between The Buttons. If it weren’t for those 2 albums, there’d probably be no Satanic Majesties. Yes, Brian’s contributions are the highlight of the album. It’s amazing he could contribute as much as he did on the album, considering Anita dumped him for Keith and the drug busts. Favorite songs include Citadel, She’s A Rainbow, 2000 Light Years From Hone and The Lantern. Least favorites are Gomper and Sing This All Together (See What Happens). Bill’s In Another Land is interesting as is 2000 Man. They wound with a super cover, especially the 3D cover which you got, Abbie. It would make it on my Top Three of Stones covers! On a Top Five list, I’d throw in the Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby…? I think the Stones moved away from the psychedelic scene because to them, it was more of an experiment than a musical style. One food for thought I closed with when reviewing the album myself was: “The World’s Greatest Rock And Roll Band may not have been the World’s Greatest Psychedelic Band.” Who do you think deserves that title? The Doors? The Pink Floyd? The Jefferson Airplane? The Beatles?

[@nvm9040]

Love this comment

[@BigSky1]

Brian plays mellotron, soprano sax, and flute. He plays organ on ‘The Lantern’ electric dulcimer and recorder on ‘Gomper’ and maybe some guitar somewhere. Keith probably plays almost all the guitars. Brian probably does not play the other brass instruments. Nicky Hopkins plays piano and harpsichord.

Hi Abigail! Thank you so much for bringing this brilliant, masterful work of art out into the light... back in the'60's, my friends and I in Iselin, NJ truly believed that we were the most devout Stone's fans on the planet 🤷🏻‍♂️? When the album came out and we first laid eyes on it, we were intensely blown away. When we gave it the first spin, we were totally confused and thought they had lost their minds. After dropping acid a few weeks later, we completely realized that this album is the epitome of psychedelic rock, far superior to anything else we've EVER heard. If I can figure out how to bring one album with me to the other side of deaths door as a conversation piece, it would be this album... God Bless you, Brian Jones & The Rolling Stones! ✌️💜🙋🏻‍♂️🎸

I bought this record on vinyl in the early 1970s while at school. I have always enjoyed it. I love Nicky Hopkins' piano on She's a Rainbow. Marianne had a screw loose. She abandoned her young son, Nicholas Dunbar, to be with Jagger. I read one of Nicholas's excellent books on finance. He has degrees from Cambridge and Harvard and became an investment banker. I managed to work out who he was, but he wasn't disclosing he was Marianne's only child to the financial community.

[@paulboudreau3754]

Not my favorite Stones record, but when I want to hear the standout tracks from this I play side 3 of More Hot Rocks, which has Rainbow and 2000 light years, but then Child of the Moon (which apparently was a B side but could have fit on TSMR) No Expectations and Let it Bleed. That's a great side of music.

[@michaelpdawson]

This has always been one of my favorites in the Stones' catalog. Very underrated!

[@raulmacias6146]

Hello again Abby, Brian Jones contributes mightily on Satanic Majesties! My favourite tracks are ~ Citadel ~ Brian plays some Psychedelic Tenor Saxophone! She's A Rainbow ~ Nicky Hopkins plays that nice Baroque Acoustic Piano. 2000 Light Years From Home ~ Brian plays some Eastern Psychedelic "Mellotron", àla The Pink Floyd's Rick Wright playing his Farfisa Organ, which is a highlight of the album. You know, I've always felt that The Rolling Stones "Child Of The Moon", on which Brian plays Soprano Saxophone, was their farewell to Psychedelia.

[@luiselguera7056]

The Gomper is one on highlights of this wonderful album. It is one of the most consistent because is not a song properly, but a jam, a fantastic jam though, that allowed the Stones to dig inside and out of their stone rock cannon. Jamming is an essential of psicodelic music of this time, so is a staple here, indispensable in this only psicodelic experience of this talented group.

This is my second time listening to this podcast. I can't believe how expensive vinyl records have become. I bought this record in a thrift shop about 5 miles from where Keith Richards lived in West Wittering in Sussex, for next to nothing. This was in 1972. That thrift store allowed me to discover, Dylan. I liked this record. It was weird but different from their other records. Nicky Hopkins was the star. The critics encouraged them to go back to basics.

Satanic Majesties Request is actually my favourite Stones album but I am an old hippy and liked all this psychedelic malarkey. Made a change from their blues oriented stuff.

Funnily enough… I was introduced to this album as a boy via a cover of Citadel by the UK band The Damned. Released in 1981. Worth a listen.

Hi Abigail! I'm so glad I stumbled upon Vinyl Monday (on a Saturday). My Rolling Stones collection begins with the album AFTER TSMR... Beggars, and your review is making me reconsider. I've heard TSMR, but have never really invested much time to really LISTENING to it. So I think I will. I'm sure I can get a decent copy from Fingerprints here in Long Beach. Also, anything before this album I have covered for my listening pleasure with Hot Rocks. I'm not a big fan of their earlier material, but I've actually loved all Stones music starting with Beggars, although some most assuredly more than others. I, like you, have always been fascinated by the cover and art work of the album, but never bought it because the music didn't lure me.

[@DXPunx74]

Damn girl...you look awesome. Wow. This album is good. My Mom had a copy she bought in 1968. When I was little she played her records all the time. I remember this album because it sounded different. When I got old enough I listened to this record and the CD I bought and it is something to lay back and put your headphones on. There is so much instrumentation to hear. "Sing this song all together see what happens" is interesting. Just a jam sounding like an acid trip. Cosmic Christmas is a bit spooky. But the album is a statement of the times. Psychedelia and swirling colors.

If you look at it like "The Beach Boys Party" what's wrong with it? We never took a trip without it! "Citadel" is an AMAZING critique of modern society! I always add to the mix, "Dandelion", "We Love You" and "Child of the Moon". Imagine if you throw out the "duds" and add those songs! If it had come out like THAT, it would have been the greatest psych album of the sixties! Anyway, that's how I listen to it now. "Rainbow" still begins it of course!

Their Satanic Magesties Request is my favorite Stones album, regardless of what anyone else thinks. She's A Rainbow & 2000 Light Years From Home are the highlights.

It is excellent and was even covered by Ace Frehley of KISS. I believe it is also one of the few songs from that album that the Stones have played live in concert. Overall though, excellent review!!!
