Product Description
Amazon.com
Beggars Banquet is among the Stones two or three greatest albums, so it's also among the very best rock & roll albums ever made. Though known for its twin anthems of social decay, "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Street Fighting Man," it's actually the album's gritty yet beautiful acoustic country and country-blues numbers--"Dear Doctor," "Prodigal Son," "No Expectations," "Factory Girl"--that has helped Beggars stand up so effectively through the years--that and the fact that Keith Richard's lyrics here often come as close to sincerity as he's capable. When he sings "Let's drink to the hard working people," for once you almost believe him. --David Cantwell

This is not a Super Deluxe Edition and was not marketed as such. Also any set that contained all of those things would cost a couple hundred dollars.
This is a remastered limited edition 50th anniversary release.
There are no other editions. It it not broken down into tiers (standard, deluxe, super deluxe, collector’s edition etc.)
This is what you get:
For the FIRST TIME we get the original cover as well as the infamous intended cover which was used for the 2002 re-release. The presentation and packaging here is wonderful. The story behind the cover is almost as famous as the album itself.
It is a gatefold.
The album has been remastered. It sounds as good as the 2002 reissue which means it sounds fantastic!
We also get a mono 12inch of Sympathy For the Devil with an awesome etching of the intended album cover on the other side.
We get the flexidisc Mick Jagger interview that was included in the original Japanese release of this album and it is sealed in a 7inch wrap that contains the covers that were used for the album’s singles.
It was 50 bucks when released. I got it for 39.80.
There are remastered single lp vinyl albums out there that contain absolutely nothing else selling for 30 - 50 bucks.
If you never bought the 2002 reissue and/or do not own this album on vinyl at all and are a Stones or rock fan - this is a no brainer.
I bought the 2002 reissue and misplaced it. This was PERFECT.
All the songs were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, except "Prodigal Son" by Robert Wilkins, which was written in 1929. Nearly all rhythm and lead guitar parts were recorded by Keith Richards. Brian Jones had become erratic due to his heavy drug use and died in 1969. Nicky Hopkins plays keyboards on eight of the ten tracks. Hopkins played with the Stones on all of their studio albums from "Between the Buttons" in 1967 through "Black and Blue" in 1975.
Beggars Banquet was produced by Jimmy Miller, who worked with the Stones from 1968-1973. He recorded five albums and many classic singles. He played the opening cowbell on Honky Tonk Women. His sister Judith Miller was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the New York Times. She spent time in prison for failing to reveal her sources.
"Jumping Jack Flash" was meant to have been included on the album. It was recorded during a two week period that also produced "Street Fighting Man," "Jigsaw Puzzle" and "Parachute Woman." The Stones rushed out "Flash" as a single because the record company knew it would be a hit. In the 1960s, The Beatles and the Stones often left hit singles off their albums.
In 2003, Beggars Banquet was ranked at number 58 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
