Background: Beggar’s Banquet released in 1968, was the Rolling Stones return to form after dabbling with psychedelia with the previous year’s Their Satanic Majesties Request. The album reached #5 on the U.S. charts and #3 on the UK charts, helped by the single, “Street Fighting Man.”
The original cover was intended to show graffiti on the wall of a bathroom stall, but that was nixed by the record company. The band then changed the cover to an all white cover resembling an invitation to a party or some other event. The album was well-reviewed, and Allmusic.com gave Beggar’s Banquet five stars:
The Stones forsook psychedelic experimentation to return to their blues roots on this celebrated album, which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements. At the time, though, the approach was still fresh, and the lyrical bite of most of the material ensured Beggars Banquet’s place as one of the top blues-based rock records of all time.
Beggar’s Banquet was one of a number of Rolling Stones albums that were released as a colored vinyl limited edition in the Netherlands in 1978, along with Let It Bleed, Through the Past Darkly, Their Satanic Majesties Request, and Get Your Ya Yas Out.
