The album title is a play on "Her Britannic Majesty requests and requires..." inside a British passport.

In all my albums this song has three noticable tics: at 00.02,4 at 00.03,4 and at 00.05.
This edit is without Mick Jagger's "Where's that joint" in the first seconds. For many years this song was banned from my channels, probably because of those words. Sir Jagger can go to sleep peacefully now...

The recording was long and sporadic, broken up by court appearances and jail terms. The entire band was seldom present in the studio at one time. Further slowing productivity was the presence of the multiple guests that the band members had brought along. One of the more level-headed members during this time, Bill Wyman, wary of psychedelic drugs, wrote "In Another Land" to parody the Stones' current goings-on.

Just too much time on our hands, too many drugs, no producer to tell us, "Enough already, thank you very much, now can we get just get on with this song?" Anyone let loose in the studio will produce stuff like that. There was simply too much hanging around. It's like believing everything you do is great and not having any editing."

According to Brian Jones, a month before the album's planned release date the group "hadn't got anything put together": "It's really like sort of got-together chaos. Because we all panicked a little, even as soon as a month before the release date that we had planned, we really hadn't got anything put together. We had all these great things that we'd done, but we couldn't possibly put it out as an album. And so we just got them together, and did a little bit of editing here and there."
