(16 Customer Reviews)
Retreating from the psychedelia of THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST, the Stones released the roots-rock single "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and then the album BEGGAR'S BANQUET. It was hailed as a rock masterpiece, and remains the favorite of many Stones fans.
BEGGAR'S BANQUET played to the Stones' strengths. The ironic lead-off ("Sympathy For The Devil") led many rock-baiters to conclude that singer Mick Jagger actually was the devil, or at least a satanic follower. Many of the other tracks, particularly the hit "Street Fighting Man," highlighted the solid rhythm section interplay of Wyman and Watts, while Jones contributed a typically down-home slide guitar part to "No Expectations," and the writing team of Richards and Jagger summoned up images of their deep blues roots.
Remastered reissue of 1968 album, suitable for standard & 'Super Audio' CD players. Digipak.
Recorded at Olympic Studios, London, England.
The Rolling Stones: Keith Richards (vocals, guitar); Mick Jagger (vocals); Brian Jones (guitar); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums).

Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet Songs Beggars Banquet Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Beggar's Banquet - Beggar's Belief This classic rock album from 1968 has got the well known Sympathy For The Devil and Street Fighting Man tracks which were an anthem to a generation and have got so much power. They are counterpoised with Factory Girl, a simple tune I taught myself on acoustic guitar. Everytrack is an immaculat conception and for me epitomise the flavour of the Stones.

He May Not Be Pretty But man, Keith Richards can really play an acoustic guitar. By far one the best efforts at music from the Rolling Stones. Prodigal Son, track 9, is an exceptional piece of artistry and the other tracks are melodious and soulful at the same time. Submitted by nexus_guam (Las Vegas)  Was This Review Helpful?

Great CD, but not SACD The latest Stones' releases have been remastered using the DSD process, but not all of the discs are being released in SACD format - some like this are just plain Audio CDs. Still, the remastering was done well, the sound is good, and the music is great. Submitted by robm42 (Berkeley, CA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 2 found this helpful.
Great CD from the world's greatest rock and roll band. It's the Rolling Stones. It's in at least the top 3 of the best of all their albums.

Best of the remasters Because most of the album is acoustic, the remastering has clearly made this the most improved of all the remasters. Like Let it Bleed, this is a must for any Stones fan. They corrected the speed from the original which definitely helped. The 86 remastered version seemed to drag.,I did the "A/B" test with my CD players and could really hear the improvements. This album flows better than any of the 60's Stones albums. Submitted by a reviewer (Tennessee)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Beggars Banquet
$10.39 This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both Super Audio and regular CD players.
The Rolling Stones' first set of all-original material--a full two years after the Beatles had passed that milestone with A HARD DAY'S NIGHT--1966's AFTERMATH is arguably the Stones' first truly great album, as opposed to a selection of killer singles padded out with some forgettable filler. Not that the singles aren't killers; "Paint It Black" and "Under My Thumb" are two of the Stones' most inventive chart successes, their sitar and marimba touches showing that at least through 1966, the Stones were just as likely as the Beatles, Kinks or Who to release a single that sounded like nothing else on the radio.
