The Rolling Stones - Beggers Banquet Vinyl LP
Catalogue Number: ABK95391
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 favourite 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.
