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 ... Full Descriptionfans.
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.

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.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Their best album?
At least this is one of their best albums. It also sounds great in this new remastered version with the exception of a few dropouts at the end of "Street fighting man" and more disturbing, after about 2 mins in the left channel on "Stray cat blues". I really wonder if this has just been overseen or if the best master is just no better? Comparing to previous version those dropouts weren't there, but the overall sound is not as good as on this disc.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 2 found this 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.

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.
What more can you say !

Beggars Banquet album
 $10.39  
This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both Super Audio and regular CD players.
It's difficult for American listeners to remember this, but like the recordings of the Beatles and nearly all other British groups of the '60s, the Rolling Stones' first several albums did not make it across the Atlantic in one piece. Prior to ABKCO's comprehensive 2002 reissue program, the US versions of the Stones' early albums were the de facto standards on CD, but particularly in the case of 1966's AFTERMATH, the UK album was very different.
The track lineup is shuffled and expanded to create a much different mood. "Paint It Black" is gone, replaced as the opening track by the snotty social commentary of "Mother's Little Helper," which--when followed by "Stupid Girl," "Lady Jane," "Under My Thumb," and "Dontcha Bother Me"--is like a pentathlon of punky misogyny capped by the grinding blues jam "Goin' Home." ...
| | Rolling Stones Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out CD (1970)
Beggars Banquet CD music
$10.39
Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York on November 27-28, 1969.
Returning to the American concert scene after a three-year layoff, the Rolling Stones recorded GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! during a triumphant two-date stand at Madison Square Garden in late November 1969 that found B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner opening for them. Having amassed an impressive recorded output during their three years away from touring, the Stones peppered their sets with hits, including "Honky Tonk Women," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Street Fighting Man." Tipping their collective hats to Chuck Berry, the band also included covers of "Carol" and "Little Queenie" alongside more blues-influenced numbers such as "Stray Cat Blues" and "Love In Vain."
Having been a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, new guitarist Mick Taylor parlayed his experience into some impressive slide guitar work. The ...

Beggars Banquet music CDs
$10.39
12 X 5 includes material recorded by the Stones at Chicago's Chess Studios (home to the band's idols Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf) on their first US tour. Though this document of the group's early R&B period kicks off with a couple of covers from unsurprising sources (Chuck Berry's "Around and Around,") Mick and Keith waste little time in displaying their own compositional acumen. The acoustic-based, bluesy "Good Times, Bad Times" harkens back to even earlier, more seminal Stones ...

Beggars Banquet songs
$10.39
Part druggy experiment, part musical rivalry with the Fab Four, and a total anomaly in the Rolling Stones' catalogue, THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST contains at least three trippy classics in "Citadel," "She's a Rainbow," and "2000 Light Years From Home." That it also contains an extensive sample of Bill ...
| | Rolling Stones December's Children (And Everybody's) CD (1965)
Beggars Banquet album
$10.39
Recorded in Hollywood, California, Chicago, Illinois and London, England.
DECEMBER'S CHILDREN marked a crucial point in the Stones' development. The band was beginning to move away from its blues/R&B roots toward something more uniquely its own. Certainly those roots were far from absent in the songs composed for this album, and the Stones still cover their share of the masters here (Chuck Berry, Arthur Alexander, Hank Snow), but something new was afoot.
The aching ballad "As Tears Go By," complete with baroque orchestration, heralded a new direction in the Stones' songwriting. Similarly, the folk-rockish strains of "The Singer Not The Song" hint at previously uncharted directions. Perhaps the ...
