1968 Blues-Rock Classic Reissued on 180g Vinyl LP!
Featuring "Street Fighting Man" & "Sympathy for the Devil"!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 185/500!
The Rolling Stones returned to their blues roots on 1968's Beggars Banquet, which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements. A strong, acoustic Delta Blues flavor colors much of the album, particularly "Prodigal Son" and Jagger/Richards' "No Expectations". Basic rock 'n' roll is not forgotten with "Street Fighting Man" and "Sympathy for the Devil". The lyrical bite of the material ensured its place as one of the best blues-based rock albums of all time.
After the wayward psychedelia of Their Satanic Majesties Request, and with guitarist Brian Jones largely AWOL, Richards' record collection led the Rolling Stones back to their version of America: country music on 'Dear Doctor,' the blues on 'Prodigal Son,' and urban riots on 'Street Fighting Man.' And 'Sympathy for the Devil,' of course, is an anthem for the darkness in every human heart.
