Rolling Stones fans pay attention: annual album will appear on the shelves on 16th November!
It has been 50 years, and it is still one of the best albums ever released by the rock band legend, The Rolling Stones. The annual edition of the album called Beggars Banquet will be back on the shelves on 16th of November!
Record behind the great success of the band!
The original album was recorded in London's Olympic Sound Studios during March and July of 1968. It was the last time The Rolling Stones appeared in the original team - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. At the same time, it was the first album produced by Jimmy Miller. Thanks to this album, the band was shot in the world heights.
The most political song Street Fighting Man isn’t missing in the album
The inspiration for the most political song from The Rolling Stones, which isn’t missing in this album, is Jagger’s experience from an anti-war demonstration before the US embassy in London, where he heard activist Tariq Ali. At the same time, student protests took place in Paris, leading to the already legendary mass uprising in May and strikes attended by nearly a quarter of the nation. The song is called Street Fighting Man. Another distinctive song from the album is Sympathy for The Devil, who tells of Satan's visit to the Stalinist Soviet Union.
The cover will eventually bear the famous toilet!
As for the cover of the album, it was originally rejected by the US and UK publishers. It was a photograph by Michael Vosse, on which the ruined wall in the foreground with part of a toilet is captured. So the album was published with a cover, on which the name of the band and the album name Beggars Banquet in wedding font were written. The annual edition, however, finally comes out with Vosse’s cover that is inconspicuously inserted into then acceptable "wedding version".
According to legendary rock journalist Ben Fong Torres, the album Beggars Banquet is "an instant master class", which characterizes the inconsistency of 1968. In honour of the 50th anniversary, the album will be released on November 16th.
