If you’re a stone-cold Rolling Stones fan, this will start you up a bit.

To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the band’s 1967 album, Their Satanic Majesties Request, the Stones are reissuing it on vinyl (pre-order a copy here). The album saw the band drop its blues format in favor of a decidedly more psychedelic sound—largely assumed to be via the influence of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Some of the better-known numbers from the album include “She’s a Rainbow” and “2000 Light Years From Home.”

Speaking of the latter, the band has released a lyric video for it, which features a parade of lysergic images intermingled with the lyrics (hey, at least you don’t have to Google them anymore to know what they are).

Take a look at the video for “2000 Light Years From Home” above.
