Beggars Banquet is the seventh studio album (ninth American album) by The Rolling Stones, released in December 1968 on Decca Records in most of the world and its subsidiary London Records in the US and Canada. It is considered a return to their old rebellious and subversive roots, compared to their previous albums, the psychedelic Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request, both from 1967. Beggars Banquet is best remembered for such tracks as "Sympathy for the Devil", "Stray Cat Blues", and the hit single "Street Fighting Man", and is ranked among the band's best albums.Brian Jones, who halfheartedly showed up to the recording sessions, was playing a far lesser role in the band by this point and had his judgment marred considerably through drug abuse. While Jones contributed a few minor instrumentals, most notably the slide guitar on "No Expectations" and sitar on "Street Fighting Man", Mick Jagger and Keith Richards largely conceived of an album which would return to a Blues-inspired, Country sound heavily associated with the working conditions of the poor. Achieving unity in structure even while exploring such diverse topics as underage groupies, chaotic riots, and religious symbolism, the Stones sought to reconcile these complex ideas to represent the political restlessness of the era through a more simplistic sound.The album's release was delayed considerably due to the ongoing conflict between the Stones and their record label, which despised the original "toilet" cover art and forced its replacement. While the original cover was eventually reinstated on reissues, this conflict speaks to the band's rapidly shifting role from a group of talented musicians to a mouthpiece for a generation. From the introductory track, which is the Trope Namer to Sympathy for the Devil and Man of Wealth and Taste, to the largely Self-Deprecating indictment of debauchery of their lifestyle, the songs both implicate society and defend the people largely undercut by privilege. Fitting for an album heavily influenced by the violence and politics of the 1960s, the cover and the album's themes are now viewed as a celebration of cultural rebels and impoverished people disenfranchised by society.In any case, the influential recording sessions to some songs of this album were filmed in Jean-Luc Godard's One Plus One/Sympathy for the Devil from 1968. A documentary about the creative process behind the making of this album can be seen in the Classic Albums TV documentary series.In December 1968, the Stones made the TV special The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus to promote this album, though the special did not see the light of day till 1995. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Beggars Banquet (Music) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: "Sympathy for the Devil", while now among the Stones' proverbial anthems, is quite different from their usual fare (then and now) of angsty blues songs. Namely for the fact that the lyrics are fairly literary filled with historical allusions. Indeed Mick Jagger noted that it was more suited to Bob Dylan's style than the Stones. The song itself drew on the influences of The Master and Margarita (recommended by Marianne Faithfull) and the poetry of Charles Baudelaire. Jagger states that while it's a Ballad, the unusual Samba rhythms and African beats stopped it from departing too much from their style: | |

Villain Song: "Sympathy for the Devil", sung from the viewpoint of Satan himself. As the lyrics progress it turns out that Satan questions why people call him "evil", as they too have accomplices in his crimes over the centuries. | |

Drunken Song: "Salt of the Earth" sounds a lot like a barroom shanty, even though it wasn't necessarily intended that way. A lot of critics have stated that the song sounds patronizing for this reason, though its intent may derive from the classic view of "salt of the earth" types enjoying a drink at the end of a hard day. | |

| Beggars Banquet (Music) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: "Street Fighting Man" was released in a very turbulent year, 1968, when globally many college students started rebelling against the system and organizing protest marches in the street. "Sympathy for the Devil" originally only referenced the murder of John F. Kennedy, but as his brother Robert F. Kennedy got assassinated too in the Spring of 1968 Jagger changed the line from "Who killed Kennedy?" to "Who killed the Kennedys?" | |

Badass Boast: Most of "Sympathy for the Devil" is a badass boast by someone we could assume to be an Unreliable Narrator. "I laid traps for troubadours/Who get killed before they reach Bombay" has caused much debate over to what it refers; the dominant explanation is the hippie trail, navigated by hippies to India, who were robbed in Afghanistan or Pakistan by drug-smugglers. | |

Big Rock Ending: After the last verse, "Salt of the Earth" slows down for acoustic guitar strumming, then a drum fill signals the band to start up again, joined by the background singers repeating "Let's take a drink for the salt of the earth" over and over, then the tempo speeds up and they jam all the way to the fade, with the piano (played by Nicky Hopkins) dominating. | |

Rock Me, Asmodeus! | |
| Beggars Banquet (Music) / int_bf64a255 | comment |
Rock Me, Asmodeus!: "Sympathy for the Devil" may be the first explicitly Satanic song, despite the fact that the content is actually more about mankind denying its own obvious evilness than worshiping the devil. Even Jagger himself has acknowledged this, noting that it was the only real song of the Stones that dealt with the Satanic theme and even then it's more a Take That! to humanity in general. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Beggars Banquet (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Among the graffiti on the original toilet cover are "Bob Dylan's Dream" (referencing a song from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan) and "Music from Big Brown" (a reference to The Band's Music from Big Pink). "Sympathy for the Devil" informs us that Satan was present when Jesus Christ was being seduced by him, the Russian Revolution, the Blitzkrieg and centuries of bloodshed between kings and queens in name of their religion. The line summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street in "Street Fighting Man" is borrowed from "Dancing in the Street" by Motown artists Martha and the Vandellas, replacing the word "dancing" with "fighting". The independent UK music label Beggars Banquet Records takes its name from this album. The story collection Beggars Banquet by Ian Rankin took its title from this album. The track "Sympathy for the Parents" on Smells Like Children by Marilyn Manson is a shout-out to "Sympathy for the Devil". In The Simpsons episode "Bart Gets Hit by a Car", Satan introduces himself to Bart with the words: "Please allow me to introduce myself", in reference to "Sympathy for the Devil". | |

Sympathy for the Devil | |
| Beggars Banquet (Music) / int_d3a4af1e | comment |
Sympathy for the Devil: Trope Namer. Ironically, the song in question is a subversion of the trope, as the Devil spends the whole song bragging about how evil he is. Or rather, sarcastically confessing how evil and horrible he is, when "after all it was you and me" and that the Devil is nothing more than humanity denying their own capacity for evil. Lucifer also threatens to "lay your soul to waste" if you don't show him sympathy or respect. Yikes. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Beggars Banquet (Music) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Releasing a track named "Sympathy for the Devil" in an era of hippie peace and love, with many parents of Stones fans still active church goers was certainly intentionally audacious! | |

Alternate Album Cover | |
| Beggars Banquet (Music) / int_fa77309d | comment |
Alternate Album Cover: The Bathroom Stall Graffiti cover was meant to be the original artwork, but was replaced with the "R.S.V.P" cover at Decca's insistence. The bathroom cover now appears on most reissues. | |
