On this day, December 6th, in 1968: The Rolling Stones and Decca/London Records released “Beggars Banquet.”
Today’s soundtrack: Still burns.
Today's 8-track perfection: No split up songs!
Today’s screening: “Rock and Roll Circus” and “Gimme Shelter”
Today’s quote: “On ‘Beggars Banquet’ the Stones try to come to terms with violence more explicitly than before and in so doing are forced to take up the subject of politics. The result is the most sophisticated and meaningful statement we can expect to hear concerning the two themes — violence and politics — that will probably dominate the rock of 1969.” - Jon Landau, Rolling Stone
