Time for a traveling edition of #Indigoswax (That's the tag I've decided on to identify these stupid self-indulgent vinyl collection posts)
Went to an indie record shop in a town I may be moving to soon, and found a copy of my favorite Rolling Stones album, which is "Their Satanic Majesties Request," from 1967.
It's hard to pickup on the photo, but this is the version with the lenticular cover, not the flat cover from most re-issues, which is something I've always wanted.
This album is often maligned, unfairly in my opinion, as an opportunistic attempt to capitalize on the success of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's, which was released earlier the same year. I don't personally agree with that, I think there are certainly similarities; they're both psychedelic rock albums, the have a simualr aesthetic, they both were a sharp change from their respective bands' previous work, and I do give the critics that "On with the show" is very much derivative of "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite;" but I feel like the Stones' record has a very different vibe and general sound to The Beatles' record.
"She's a Rainbow" is often considered the highlight of this album, and I love that song, but "2000 Man" is my favorite.
I apologize by the way for the uh... less photogenic record player this time, this is my old one from when I was in high school, I'll hopefully have something a little classier to show off next time.
