「悪魔を憐れむ歌」や「ストリート・ファイティング・マン」のようなバンドの新しい方向性を示す曲がある一方で、エレキギターよりもアコースティックギターを中心に据えたサウンドが目立ち、ドラムスを使用しない曲もあるなど(「ノー・エクスペクテーションズ」、「ディア・ドクター」)、ロック・ナンバーよりも彼らのルーツであるブルースやカントリー・ミュージック、フォークソング・ナンバーの方に重きが置かれている、ストーンズのアルバム「ベガーズ・バンケット」のセッションを収録したタイトルのアップグレード盤。「SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL」のパーカッションの生々しい音、続く「NO EXPECTATIONS」におけるブライアンのアコギのボトルネックの信じられないほどの美しさ、ミック・ジャガーのムード漂うハーモニカをフィーチャリングした2分間の謎めいた「Parachute Woman」ロッキー・ディジョンのコンガをフィーチャリングした怪しげな「Stray Cat Blues」など、聴きどころ満載で捨て曲なし。『Beggars Banquet』はブライアン・ジョーンズが最後に貢献した作品として記憶されつつ、あらゆる面で最高のブルース・ロック・アルバムと言えるだろう。DISC ONE LONDON, OLYMPIC SOUND STUDIOS March 17 - April 3, 1968 01.
