Beggars Banquet has a special place in the history of the band, as it is the final album completed with the original lineup of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts. They have finished their next album - titled Beggars’ Banquet - and it is the best record they have yet done

The Rolling Stones went back to basics as their creator faded away. Their seventh album, Beggars Banquet, released on this day (Dec. 6) in 1968, marked the beginning of the end for their founding guitarist, Brian Jones. The package contains a fresh remastering of the album on CD and gatefold vinyl. Beggars Banquet was their last album made within Jones’ lifetime; he’d dreamed up the band himself in 1962

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. A strong acoustic Delta blues flavor colors much of the material, particularly "Salt of the Earth" and "No Expectations," which features some beautiful slide guitar work.

The Rolling Stones remain rightly proud of their album Beggars Banquet, which marked a return to their more classic sound after the previous psychedelic experimentation of Their Satanic Majesties Request. Listen to the 50th-anniversary reissue of Beggars Banquet right now. The album’s famous opening track, ‘Sympathy For The Devil’, was written at a time when Mick Jagger had been reading about the occult

Beggars Banquet, the seventh studio album by The Stones, marked a return to the band’s R&B roots. Following the long sessions for the previous album Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967 and the departure of producer and manager Andrew Loog Oldham, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards hired producer Jimmy Miller, the partnership proved to be a success and Miller would work with the band until 1973. Texan-born Miller had been working in the UK, producing artists like Traffic and The Spencer Davis Group, with whom he had co-written the song I’m A Man. Stones engineer Glyn Johns was aware of his. Beggars Banquet was to be Brian Jones’ last full album with the Rolling Stones; he had become so dysfunctional by the summer of 1969 that the band had to ask him to leave.
