Right now I'm listening to Beggars Banquet on SACD by the Stones. Bought months ago and this is my first listen :rolleyes: .

A gem. Love Street Fighting Man. I think I read in the memoir by Keith Richards that the opening guitar riff in that track was his favourite or one of his most memorable, most proud. I don’t remember the exact word or phrase he used, as I no longer have that volume, but you get the drift. He produced the sound using a cheap cassette recorder or something like that. That alternate album cover is iconic, and is so horrible one can almost smell the stench! A great album.

Yes a great song. The only version I'd heard before this studio version was on the live album 'Get Yer Ya Yas Out'.

I'd say my favourite Stones song would be the version of 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' on Sticky Fingers album, that's pure gold. Apparently it should have been a short song but they just carried on and jammed the rest not knowing the tape was still rolling!
