The Rolling Stones’ 1967 move into psychedelic rock Their Satanic Majesties Request will be reissued on splattered colored vinyl April 21st for Record Store Day. Featuring string arrangements by John Paul Jones, Mellotron and various other keyboard textures and effects, African rhythms and elaborate vocal harmonies, Their Satanic Majesties Request remains over half a century later unlike any other album in the Stones’ discography. ABKCO will release 3500 copies as a RSD Exclusive Release in a lenticular sleeve replicating Michael Cooper’s famous 3D album cover from the original release. The Euro pressing is on greenish vinyl and the US edition on blue, as pictured below via Stones fan account royaldragon1969:
Additionally, Slow Down Sounds will reissue 2500 of Stones’ manager/producer Andrew Oldham’s 1966 album The Rolling Stones Songbook as a ‘RSD First’ Release. Fans of this album might also be interested in George Martin’s similar Beatles to Bond and Bach, also being reissued this Record Store Day. The album cover art and tracklists for both Their Satanic Majesties Request and The Rolling Stones Songbook follow below.
