Topic: Alternative Beggars ?? Return to archive

DJAsh A couple of years ago I saw an "alternative version" of Beggars Banquet CD for sale in a record shop. It had different artwork to either the RSVP or toilet wall covers. There was also a mono CD 0f the album , in the RSVP sleeve and on Decca. Can anyone please enlighten me on theses two discs ?

Soldatti I saw a different BB too but I don't remember the tracklisting. Stuck Out All Alone was on it for example.

CotchfordCat They're bootlegs. I believe they originate from Italy.
The 'Beggars Banquet' one consists of all the available out-takes of the tracks on the finished cut which most resemble the released versions. (With the exception, I think, of 'No Expectations', which is the rare, alternative mono mix used as the US b-side to 'Street Fighting Man')
The company which issues these turns out a very professional product, and I believe they have also issued 'Goats Head Soup Reheated' (a '30th anniversary edition in 2003), a two-disc edition of 'Metarmophosis' and a nice little CD of the ultra-rare 1969 'promotional' album; all of which one must inspect very closely to see that they are not official releases. (With the exception, of course, of the Promotional Album, which was never a CD.)
