Their Satanic Majesties Request
London/Abkco records 844 470-1
1986 re-issue with gatefold sleeve
£3.65 (+£1.50 p&p)
Filed between: Redd Kross 'Teen Babes From Monsanto’ and The Rolling Stones ‘Tattoo You’.
I’ve always had a soft spot for this (seriously flawed) album. According to biographies the band themselves don’t rate it, and it’s largely regarded as a poor attempt to ape ‘Sgt Pepper’. But in ‘Citadel’, ‘2,000 Light Years From Home’ and especially ‘She’s A Rainbow’, 'Their Satanic Majesties Request' is more than just a curio pre-dating the classic Stones period that kicked off with ‘Beggars Banquet’.

Incidentally I’m not a huge fan of ‘Sgt Pepper’ – too many of McCartney’s irritating music hall numbers for my liking ...
