Beggars Banquet is unquestionably one of the finest albums ever released by the bad boys of rock'n'roll and a must have for all true Stones fans. Recorded in 1968 Asside from classics like Jumpin' Jack Flash and Sympathy For The Devil we're treated to the hard driving Street Fighting Man as well as some downright bluesy cuts like Parachute woman, Stray Cat Blues, Factory Girl, Prodigal son and particularly their heartfelt take on Robert Johnson's Love In Vain. The beautiful No Expectations is a somewhat overlooked number that surely deserves a listen. The Set is rounded out with the tracks Salt Of The Earth and the infectious, countrified approach on Dear Doctor. The arrangements are stripped down and in your face leaning on the bands R&B roots more than the previous album, 1967's Their Satanic Majesties Request with it's polished Psychodelic sound. This release is in SACD form and the sound is incredible. I must confess I hadn't given this album much thought in years but it now comes acrioss like a breath of fresh air. If you love the Rolling stones, or even blues or rock'n'roll in general you won't be disappointed with this find.Read full review
This is one of the Stones best and goes right along with Exile and Let it Bleed. If you like the Stones, this one is a must have. This is I do believe the last album with all the original members, and some of the best guitar rifts Richards ever wrote, accompanied by Brian Jones playing a mean slide. Nicky Hopkins and a slew of very talented back up provided a solid performance, vocals and instruments. Sympathy for the Devil indeed ...
Great record

Great sounding CD. I can't hear the difference in my original CD. Looks and sounds like my other copy.
