Beggars Banquet — 1968

The return to raw, rootsy form after psychedelic detours, opening with 'Sympathy for the Devil'. Loose, dark and the start of their greatest run. Essential. Not their most famous record, but one of their most consistent.

On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
