Opening with the iconic hit “Sympathy For The Devil,” the album features many of The Stones’ most memorable tracks, including “Street Fighting Man,” “No Expectations,” and “Parachute Woman”. Beggars Banquet (50th Anniversary Edition) is housed in an overwrap of the “inoffensive” wedding invitation art, which was initially issued as a replacement cover when the original intended album art was rejected. The landmark album has been newly mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Bob Ludwig and will be available on all formats. Review: This was one of the very first LPs that I purchased, I truly have a special place for this disc - BEGGARS BANQUET, was one of the first LPs that I picked up as a kid, and I would play SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL over and over again I was so connected to the lyrics in that song. Of course, there were many others from this LP that also totally fixed THE STONES in my mind as one of the best groups out there. The fact that the Beggars Banquet was the start of a huge roll of great LPs for the STONES was a really amazing feat. From this disc, all the way to Goats Head Soup was a run that I think no other band has ever duplicated. It cemented in the public mind that THE STONES could really KICK OUT THE JAMS. They really are the BEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND in music history! This LP is a great example of why that is so. Review: Acoustic blues(mostly) - One of the great early Stones albums before they got more commercial. Has aged we’ll. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HQJK887 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,178 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #73 in Blues Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,325) | | Date First Available | October 3, 2018 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | ABKCO | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | ABKCO | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2018 | | Product Dimensions | 5.55 x 4.92 x 0.47 inches; 3.25 ounces | ## Images ![Beggars Banquet - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51sdfJZzlYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was one of the very first LPs that I purchased, I truly have a special place for this disc *by S***S on January 4, 2023* BEGGARS BANQUET, was one of the first LPs that I picked up as a kid, and I would play SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL over and over again I was so connected to the lyrics in that song.

Has aged we’ll. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Career Saver for the Stones *by D***N on October 28, 2025* After two years, the Stones slide back into their musical predilections which tend to blues, r&b and country. On "Beggars Banquet", with the hiring of Jimmy Miller as their new producer, the band finds a new purpose. This album is where Keith Richards' social outcast stance really solidifies and he does some heavy lifting throughout the project. Keith's appreciation for rural blues was in evidence before ("High and Dry", "Connection"), but he's more immersed in it here. With an unbridled passion, he sounds completely at home on the Stones' cover of Reverend Robert Wilkins "Prodigal Son". His confidence level is so high, along with Mick Jagger's, that they can author a song like "Dear Doctor" sensationally in this vein, despite Mick's mocking tone. Where Mick's starring role emerges, however, is that of adopting the persona of pseudo-Satan on "Sympathy for the Devil". He's leading the charge on this samba-rock masterpiece until Keith enters the fray with his sultry guitar soloing. It's then a double act running the show. But every musician involved creates this unstoppable rhythm for over six minutes and it shakes you down. "Street Fighting Man' is a first for the Stones. This recording acutely mirrors the political reality of the times even if Mick maintains a remoteness from it. The line "what can a poor boy do, except the same old rock and roll band" encapsulates him. Charlie Watts' drum work galvanizes this into the classic it deserves to be. Savage rock finds its way into "Stray Cat Blues". The lyric exhibits Mick at his naughtiest. And, Keith's sleazy blues guitar licks punctuate intent. On this cut, I feel like I'm being complicit in the sins that are being laid out because of its unremitting groove. Hey, that's part of rock and roll. Thanks Charlie! The two preeminent tracks, for me, are "Salt of the Earth" and "No Expectations". Mick surveys the landscape on "Salt of the Earth" while he shields himself with layers of irony. And, the chorus of background singers (The Watts Street Gospel Choir) coming in at the third verse adds another dimension of spirituality into the lives of the working class. Nicky Hopkins rocks that piano hard during the coda. It's that one song that just grows like a tree. Then, there's the saddest moment on "Beggars Banquet" and in the Stones' entire catalogue: "No Expectations". Brian Jones had done wonderful slide guitar playing over the years, especially on non-originals like "Little Red Rooster" and "I'm Moving On". However, on "No Expectations" his downcast acoustic slide guitar work immortalizes him. He played his life out as if he had a premonition this was his last hurrah. Mick's lyric captures that lament in Brian's dissolution and Nicky's piano passages provide that bridge to the other side. Luckily on "Beggars Banquet", the Rolling Stones had a roadmap of what they were seeking for Jimmy Miller's economical production helps immeasurably in bringing this music to full bloom. There's nothing trivial here: just an unflagging openness of ten songs that feel lived and stripped down. ## Frequently Bought Together - Beggars Banquet - Let It Bleed - Sticky Fingers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/88971488-beggars-banquet](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/88971488-beggars-banquet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
