  1. NOTE: The record labels and back cover of this copy read 'All songs written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richard'. There is no mention of Rev. Wilkins as the author of 'Prodigal Son'. This copy predates the lawsuit, most copies found are the revised version, and this copy is therefore the "rare" 100% 1969 first press and contains the original printed UK DECCA Records inner sleeve!

  4.  As the acid haze lifted off London and The Beatles retreated to Marrakesh to get their heads together, The Rolling Stones saved their career with the turbo-charged menace of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." It was that single that inspired them to get back to the blues on Beggars Banquet, subsequently redefining the art form and ushering in a four-year purple patch unmatched by any band before or since MINT

  6. The Rolling Stones dug closer to the roots of their rock than they ever had for this album, soaking in more blues, rural and a touch of gospel than a bunch of Richmond toffs had any right to. Their desire to copy past masters proved futile - thankfully so, since Beggars Banquet minted the definitive Stones sound, which in turn defined much of the rock 'n' roll that would follow

  8. "Sympathy for the Devil" is the biggest payback, as these plunderers of R&B laid down a rhythm track more influential than any save Bo Diddley's beat. "No Expectations," "Dear Doctor" and "Prodigal Son," are charming in their rootsiness, but it's "Sympathy" and "Stray Cat Blues" that still startle, with the Stones impressing the raw voodoo of the blues in the service of their own English rock sensibility and cranking out something altogether more exciting. That "Jigsaw Puzzle" and "Salt of the Earth" do the same their own effective grittiness, respectively, only hints at the breadth of the inspiration the Stones would drill for over their next three albums
