THE ROLLING STONES

With its stark cover and back to basics ethos, the Stones’ 1968 album reflected how closely their career was tied to The Beatles, who made a similar move out of psychedelia with their self-titled ‘White Album’ the same year. Beggars is where the Stones finally broke free of their rivals to become the world’s greatest band. Stray Cat Blues is a career high, and Sympathy For The Devil – the band’s singular demonic dance track – is given a 12-inch mono vinyl pressing here.
