Wie teilte es einst der
am 06.08.2021 mit:
“…Bettlerbankett mit Tortenschlacht – so das Szenario bei der Pressekonferenz zu unserem SWR1 Meilensteinealbum “Beggars Banquet” der Rolling Stones. Ausflüge in Richtung Pop und psychedelische Klänge liegen hinter den Rolling Stones…”

Hallo lieber Manni,
für mich ist das bis zum heutigen Tag immer noch eines der allerbesten Alben der Stones. Ich verbinde damit ganz tolle Erinnerungen an ganz tollen Zeiten 🙂 , die leider nicht mehr wiederkommen. 🙁

Dear Stones friends,
I would like to thank you for your great reminder, which I would like to add a little bit of the text below and in addition to what you have written and published about this album to date. I do this even at the risk that some of my lines will coincide with yours. In the UK, the first laminated gatefold cover was printed by Garrod and Lofthouse. From what I remember, the time between deciding what the cover should look like and actually producing it was very short. The Rolling STones didn’t have time to wait for the patent to be registered, so they had to put the text “Patents Pending” next to the name (https://www.stonesondecca.com/the-60s-decca/beggars-banquet/) .
I own this album in both mono and stereo versions. Beggars Banquet was a musical return to the roots for the Rolling Stones. It sold in huge numbers and became one of their all-time classics. But it was difficult to get the LP out to fans at the time. The LP was recorded in March and April 1968 and on June 1st the Stones announced that their new LP would be called Beggars Banquet and would be released on July 26th.
However, the cover design presented Decca with a problem. Decca refused to release the LP with the band’s proposed design, the famous toilet cover. The argument dragged on and it wasn’t until the beginning of December that it was finally settled with the empty white envelope. And then a little later the toilet cover worked!
The LP had already been on the market since November 16, 1968.
