THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST is the 6th British and 8th American studio album by the English rock band The Rolling Stones, released in December 8, 1967 by Decca Records in the UK and by London Records in the US. It is the first Stones album to feature the same track listings in both its UK and US versions. The album's title is a play on the "Her Britannic Majesty requests and requires" text that appears inside a British passport. The band experimented with a psychedelic sound on THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST, incorporating unconventional elements such as Mellotron, sound effects, string arrangements, and African rhythms. The prolonged recording process was marked by drug use, court appearances, and jail terms by members of the band. The original LP cover features a lenticular image by photographer Michael Cooper. THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST received mixed reactions from critics and members of the group itself. The album was criticised as being derivative of the contemporaneous work of The Beatles, particularly their June 1967 release Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, with the similarities extending to the LP's cover. Following the album's release, The Rolling Stones abandoned their psychedelic style for a stripped-down return to their roots in blues music.

Without a doubt, no Rolling Stones album split critical opinion as much as The Rolling Stones' psychedelic outing. Many dismiss the record as sub-Sgt. Pepper posturing. Others confess, if only in private, to a fascination with the album's inventive arrangements, which incorporated some African rhythms, Mellotrons, and full orchestration. What's clear is that never before or after did The Stones take so many chances in the studio. Record has been unfairly undervalued, partly because purists expect The Stones to constantly champion a blues 'n' raunch worldview. About half the material is very strong, particularly the glorious "She's A Rainbow," with its beautiful harmonies, piano, and strings, the riff-driven "Citadel", the hazy dreamlike "In Another Land," Bill Wyman's debut writing (and singing) credit on a Stones release and the majestically dark and doomy cosmic rocker "2000 Light Years From Home," with some of the creepiest synthesizer effects (devised by Brian Jones) ever to grace a rock record. The downfall of the album was caused by some weak songwriting on the lesser tracks, particularly the interminable psychedelic jam "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)." It's a much better record than most people give it credit for being, though, with a strong current of creeping uneasiness that undercuts the gaudy psychedelic flourishes. In 1968, The Stones would go back to the basics, and never wander down these paths again, making this all the more of a fascinating anomaly in the group's discography.
