The front cover of my copy is a “3 D” of Mick, Keith, Bill Wyman, and the other two. When moved the image alters, except for the face of Jagger. Inside, on the
left, is a maze in bright red, or it could be a mandala--in the center it says “IT’S HERE.” Inside, on the right--actually on all the inside not covered by the
maze/mandala--is a collage, 60’s overflowing borders imagery too opulent to describe.
Some consider it the underside of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The cover of Their Majesties does have objects in front of them, rather like the gallery of the ‘people we like’ that is on the front of the Beatles’.
’Sing this all together' was the theme of a TV program seen in Toronto and Ottawa in the late 60’s.
