History
Released in December 1968, 'Beggars Banquet' marked a pivotal return to the Rolling Stones' blues roots after their psychedelic experimentation. The album featured iconic tracks like 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Street Fighting Man,' and its original cover design was a plain white invitation-style sleeve after the band's initial toilet-graffiti concept was rejected by Decca Records. This album is considered one of the greatest rock albums of all time and a cornerstone of the Stones' catalog. Original pressings of 'Beggars Banquet,' particularly early Decca wide-band stereo editions from 1968, are highly sought after by vinyl collectors and Rolling Stones enthusiasts. The album represents a crucial moment in rock history and appeals to serious record collectors who value first pressings, audiophiles seeking superior sound quality, and fans of classic rock memorabilia. The minimalist white cover design has become iconic in its own right, making well-preserved copies particularly desirable.
