In some satanic circles the Devil is known as the master. I have 'Their Satanic Majesties Request'(Remastered). Does that count?

The record was produced in response to the very successfulthe Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper'. Keith Richards later pronounced it 'crap'. link http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones

It's a pun on the part of the british passport (or used to be, as I don't know what the current one says) which used to say:-
Her Brit nic Majesty Requests...... and went on to say something about (I think, I'm working from memory here) safe passage for the holder of the passport.

Sorry, that was supposed to read:-
Her Britannic Majesty Requests....
and I seem to remember it was on the first page of the passport. If nobody else verifies this I may have to go and look at mine.

I haven't held a passport for some years,, but the wording certainly used to be:

'Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary'.

The link https://www.royal.uk/passports website suggests that this is still the case.
