THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
On this day in 1967, The Rolling Stones LP “Their Satanic Majesties Request” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #7 (December 30)
This was the first Rolling Stones album to be released in identical versions in both the US and the UK.
It saw the band dip their toes into the psychedelic rock genre, and the album’s somewhat prolonged recording process was marked by drug use, court appearances, and jail terms by members of the band.
In his 2002 book Rolling with the Stones, Bill Wyman described the situation in the studio:
“Every day at the studio it was a lottery as to who would turn up and what – if any – positive contribution they would make when they did.
Keith would arrive with anywhere up to ten people, Brian with another half-a-dozen and it was the same for Mick.
They were assorted girlfriends and friends.
I hated it!
Then again, so did [producer and manager] Andrew (Oldham) and just gave up on it.
There were times when I wish I could have done, too…”
As a result of Oldham leaving, “Their Satanic Majesties Request” would be the Stones' first self-produced album.
Many viewed the album as the Stones attempt to compete with the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”.
In a 1970 Rolling Stone interview, John Lennon commented on the album: "Satanic Majesties is Pepper. 'We Love You' ... that's 'All You Need Is Love'."
“Their Satanic Majesties Request” went all the way to #1 in Australia and France, #2 in the US and Norway, #3 in the UK, #4 in Germany , and #7 in Finland.
