• THIS LP IS ONE OF MY COLLECTION AND HAS BEEN LIGHTLY PLAYED OVER THE YEARS
• THE DISC IS IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH VERY LITTLE BACKGROUND SURFACE NOISE CONSIDERING IT IS OVER 50 YEARS OLD. HOWEVER, THERE IS 1 MINOR BLIP ON SIDE 1 - TRACK 5, BUT APART FROM THIS IT PLAYS ALMOST AS NEW. THE SURFACE OF THE DISC ONLY SHOWS A FEW VERY MINOR SHORT HAIRLINE BLEMISHES. THERE ARE VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS ON THE BLUE LABEL, BUT MY CHRISTIAN NAME IS WRITTEN ON BOTH SIDES.   
• THE 3D COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR A SLIGHT BEND TO THE BOTTOM RIGHTHAND CORNER. THE SPINE IS UNDAMAGED AND STILL STIFF AND THERE ARE VERY FEW LIGHT SCUFF MARKS ON THE EDGES OF THE COVER. THE ORIGINAL PAPER INNER LINER HAS 2 MINOR INVISIBLE REPAIRS, BUT IS OTHERWISE IN GOOD CONDITION.
• THIS IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF A RARE EARLY PRESSING OF THIS FAMOUS LP AND IT WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO ANY HISTORIC VINYL COLLECTION
• THANK YOU FOR LOOKING ! 

Their Satanic Majesties Request is the sixth British and eighth American studio album by the Rolling Stones, released in December 1967 by Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States. Recording sessions saw the band experimenting widely with a psychedelic sound in the studio, incorporating elements such as unconventional instruments, sound effects, string arrangements, and African rhythms. The album's title is a play on the "Her Britannic Majesty requests and requires ..." text that appears inside a British passport. It is the first Stones album to feature the same track listings in both its UK and US versions.

Upon its release, Satanic Majesties received mixed reactions from critics and members of the group itself.[6] 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 lenticular cover.[7][8][9] In subsequent decades, however, it has gradually risen in critical reputation. Following the album's release, the Rolling Stones abandoned their psychedelic style for a stripped-down return to their roots in blues music.
