Also, if one was to look very closely at the cover one would see the faces of all four members of The Beatles hidden in the two bottom corners of the album.

In retrospect this is a unique and creative contribution by the Stones. It reflects the experimental proclivities and eclectic musical interests of Brian Jones and session arranger and future Led Zeppelin member John Paul Jones. It indicates a free-wheeling direction that the group could have taken but rejected for a safer blues and country inspired sound. Like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band it reflects the psychedelic mood of the era. Unlike Sgt. Peppers, Their Satanic Majesties Request was considered a failure at the time.
