Description:

The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals); Bill Wyman (vocals, bass); Keith Richards (guitar, background vocals); Brian Jones (guitar, various instruments); Charlie Watts (drums).
Additional personnel includes: J.P. Jones (strings); Nicky Hopkins (piano).
Part druggy experiment, part musical rivalry with the Fab Four, and a total anomaly in the Rolling Stones` catalogue, THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST contains at least three trippy classics in "Citadel," "She`s a Rainbow," and "2000 Light Years From Home." That it also contains an extensive sample of Bill Wyman snoring and an eight-minute stoned jam that begins with the timeless phrase "Where`s that joint?" is a measure of SATANIC MAJESTIES` breadth of genius and folly.
There`s a lot going on here--try comparing the wayward Eastern atmospheres of "Gomper" to anything on BEGGAR`S BANQUET, and marvel that you`re listening to the same band. The fact that Jagger and Richards could still come up with the unimpeachably charming "She`s a Rainbow"--baroque pop at its finest--and a fair stab at heavy R&B in "The Lantern," while attempting to negotiate the band`s rocky passage through Flower Power is a tribute to their vision, their perseverance, and their drugs of choice.
