Overview Edit

Beggars Banquet is the seventh studio album by the English rock band The Rolling Stones. It was released by Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States in December 1968. It marked a return to the band's R&B roots, generally viewed as more primal than the conspicuous psychedelia of Their Satanic Majesties Request.

This is without a doubt one of the best albums the Rolling Stones have released over their long career. The problem, as is the case with all the Universal/ABKCO Rolling Stones releases on CD, is the poor audio quality and packaging. These releases were remastered in the mid 80's using the current technology of the time. The packaging is minimal and the CD only has the original album tracks thus the disc is short.
