Their Satanic Majesties Request (The Rolling Stones) - Hidden Faces
As all Sixties music fans will know, the Rollings Stones' album Their Satanic Majesties Request was their psychedelic answer to The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album. On the Sgt. Peppers album cover, their is a Shirley Temple doll (far right) wearing a shirt that has the words on it, "Welcome The Rolling Stones." As a friendly payback tribute, The Stones hid the faces of the four Beatles in the 3-D photo on the Satanic Majesties album cover. George Harrison's face is the easiest to spot. It's below Charlie Watt's arm (far right). John Lennon's face is just above the camel figure's hump (lower right foreground). Paul McCartney and Ringo are much harder to see, due to the blurred effect of the 3-D photo. Paul's face is to the left (the viewer's left) of Charlie Watt's right arm. Paul's face is tilted to the left and well hidden in the yellow-white flowers. Ringo's face is on the far right side of the photo. Their is a large red flower with a yellow center that looks like a large eye covering Bill Wyman's left arm. Ringo's face is just right of the flower, blending with the red flowers around his face.
If you don't have the vinyl album, you'll have to use the cd cover, but you'll only find George and John. The photo used for the cd was cropped, so Paul's and Ringo's faces were cut off. Have fun hunting.

Yea, i thought the same. It is a pretty cool trick from both bands. I liked how on the 25X5 tape, Keith said the Beatles and Stones would call each other and see when their next albums were coming out so the release dates didn't land on the same week. |
