Where was the keyboard that Brian Jones plays in the song "2000 Light Years from Home" originally developed?
2000 Light Years from Home "2000 Light Years from Home" is a song from The Rolling Stones' 1967 psychedelic rock album "Their Satanic Majesties Request". Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it also appeared as the B-side to the American single "She's a Rainbow", and charted as a single in Germany. Jagger reportedly wrote the lyrics in Brixton prison following his conviction on drug charges in June 1967. The song was recorded by the band inside Olympic Studios during July 1967. The working title of the instrumental backing was "Toffee Apple". The prominent string part is played by Brian Jones on Mellotron.
