Hi all!
I often compile my own "Best of" etc. CDs.
This is my version of a possible 4-CD box of "Beggars Banquet), taken only from what´s available (officially and unofficially).
It could of course include some more slightly different mixes - I chose the ones that I listen to the most.
I didn´t include any versions of Memo From Turner, as they were apparently recorded after the "Beggars Banquet" sessions.


CD 1 The complete original 1968 mono releases

7” 5/68:
1. JUMPIN´ JACK FLASH
2. CHILD OF THE MOON
7” 8/68:

4. NO EXPECTATIONS
LP 12/68:
5. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
6. NO EXPECTATIONS (same as 4)
7. DEAR DOCTOR
8. PARACHUTE WOMAN
9. JIG-SAW PUZZLE
10. STREET FIGHTING MAN (re-mix w/different vocals)

Well, I was thinking more like an official Legacy Deluxe Edition; although I only chose from what´s available to us - otherwise we could dream endlessly...
(Which we probably do anyway!)

sorry

I think I read here some time ago (stone-relics ?) that there is an stereo version of Street Fightin' Man in a promo single.... not really sure...

I´d really love to hear a stereo mix of the original 7"-version of Street Fighting Man!!

Would this come in blue ray?

rootsman, I think it would be a very good comprehensive collection. I like the way you have it sequenced-it reminds me of the way it would be if Purple Chick had attempted a Stones collection! Alot of their Beatles albums are set up like this-I would certainly want to d/l or trade(?) for a copy if you decide to attempt it. Any ideas on artwork and/or track info design?

isn't most of the mono versions of beggars stereo folddowns? i read once that sympathy for the devil was the only true mono mix because when it's folded down from stereo mix the piano is mute.

i guess "no expectations" vinyl/cd ,more piano in the mix than the vinyl..

good idea,,but deluxe collection.

i did my own cd r of 1 st album,no 2 out of our heads(uk vers) with bonus tracks,

Thanks!
I´m not planning to do an actual box with cover/artwork...
It´s more the compiling that fascinates me

I had read that too but I honestly think its mistaken.(I mean as far as the full album being a fold down)
