Their Satanic Majesties Second Request

Description

Repressed on 180 gram double black vinyl and in a gatefold sleeve the Brian Jonestown Massacres sophomore 1996 album does, as promised, spring forth from the Rolling Stones long-underrated 1967 masterpiece Their Satanic Majesties Request, copping not only Mick and Keiths leering bad-boy attitude but also their their rock-and-roll-circus spirit. Opening with the brilliant All Around You (Intro), a tongue-in-cheek guide to the mind-altering journey ahead, the record is a kaleidoscopic, drug-fuelled freakout like the Stones namesake album, Second Request is painted by Eastern drones and psychedelic tangents, each track bubbling with dozens of sound effects including sitars, mellotrons, farfisas, didgeridoos, tablas, congas, and glockenspiels..
