The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request (50th Anniversary Edition) (1967/2017) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

Released as 1967 was coming to an end, The Rolling Stones’ Their Satanic Majesties Request took a bold step away from the group’s blues and R&B roots, embracing psychedelia to keep the Summer Of Love going well into winter.

On 22 September, 50 years after its release, Their Satanic Majesties Request is being reissued in 96kHz, 24bit and new remasters of both the stereo and mono mixes of the album.

Hailed by DownBeat magazine as a “revolutionary event in modern pop music”, but dismissed by Rolling Stone as “too infused with the pretentions of their musical inferiors”, Their Satanic Majesties Request has gone on to divide fans and critics alike – though the album continues to fascinate, and remains an important stepping stone in the Stones’ development from British Invasion pioneers to becoming “The World’s Greatest Rock’n’Roll Band”.

Awash with emerging experimental electronic instruments the likes of the Theremin and Mellotron, and bolstered by string arrangements from future Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, the original Their Satanic Majesties Request mix was a dense barrage of sound that found the Stones throwing every conceivable idea into their psychedelic vision. Fully revamped by Grammy-winning engineer Bob Ludwig, the new mono and stereo remasters offer fans a newfound clarity to the likes of ‘She’s A Rainbow’ and ‘2,000 Light Years From Home’.
