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.

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 !

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.

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.

Golden Era Begins
Beggars Banquet is a rock & roll masterpiece. This is not hyperbole, it is fact. After a year of drug busts, courtroom dramas, psychedelic experiments and general artistic malaise, the Rolling Stones re-invented themselves and r&b-based rock with this album. Returning to their roots, they crafted an album of eerie blues and country vignettes inhabited by factory girls, sexual outlaws and Satan himself. This album would be a classic because of Sympathy for The Devil alone, but it is full of inventive riffs, tasteful musicianship and menace. It also marked the beginning of the Stones golden era of five straight classic albums. Buy this cd and remember, or learn, why the Stones were so scary.
