The Rolling Stones returned to their blues roots in 1968 on Beggars Banquet, albeit in a radical new way, which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements. The introduction of legendary producer Jimmy Miller refocused the band with enthralling results.
A strong acoustic Delta blues flavour colours much of the material, particularly "Prodigal Son" and "No Expectations".
Incendiary and rebellious rock ‘n’ roll is not forgotten, with "Street Fighting Man" and "Sympathy for the Devil" – two of their greatest, and most provocative songs. The lyrical bite of the material ensured Beggars Banquet’s place as one of the top blues-based rock records of all time.
This Record Store Day edition is pressed on heavyweight grey, blue, black and white swirl vinyl as an ode to the lyric “a swirling mass of grey, blue, black and white” from Salt of the Earth as performed in The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
Features original ‘graffiti’ album artwork, and a replica of an original window display poster.
