The Rolling Stones - “Street Fighting Man” (1968)

Fifty-six years ago, on August 30, 1968, “Street Fighting Man,” the lead single from the album Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones, was released in the US. One of the Stones’ most controversial and most popular songs, the song is notable for being the final single to feature Brian Jones before his tragic death less than a year later. Released within a week of the violent confrontations between the police and anti-Vietnam War protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the song became a lightning rod for controversy. Fearing more violence due to the song’s seemingly subversive lyrics, many radio stations boycotted the song. As a result, the song failed to break into the top 40, becoming the band’s lowest charting US single since their debut.

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil (Official Video) [4K]

Top 30 Countdown Song # 5: Sympathy For The Devil

Let us just start by stating clearly this has got to be the best Side One Track One Album Opening Song Of All Time.

Yes it frightened the straights back in the day but had they listened to the lyrics they might have realized the devil might have been present for all these tragedies but they were all committed by men.

Aside from that the opening line is sexy as hell.  Hes polite and confident.  

“Please allow me to introduce myself.  I’m a man of wealth and taste.” 

I am one of those girls who cant help being drawn to bad boys with perfect manners.  It is a weakness.   Mick is no devil.  Bad ..yes.  Devil...Nope. 

Pleased to meet you too.

Robert Fraser and Mick Jagger, 1968

Photo by Michael Joseph The Rolling Stones were photographed at the historic Sarum Chase Estate in West London and Swarkestone Hall Pavillion in Derbyshire. England on June 7 and 8 1968. The band had been driven up to the castle from London in limos to shoot the cover of their seventh album, Beggars Banquet with photographer Michael Joseph.

According to Keith Richards, the title Beggars Banquet was imagined by British art dealer (and close friend of Fraser) Christopher Gibbs.

Here is Joseph's account of the interior photo shoot (Guardian article).

From The London Magazine:

"That the Rolling Stones were enjoying the process of working with Joseph is borne out by Mick Jagger inviting Joseph and his girlfriend at the end of the first day to travel to the next day’s location in his car. ‘He has two jump seats in his Daimler,’ Joseph recalls, ‘and most of the two hour journey up the newly opened M1 was spent racing the rest of the band in a similar Daimler to Swarkestone Hall Pavilion!’ The seventeenth-century pavilion stands in a large field called The Cuttle near the ruins of Swarkestone Hall. The exact purpose of the building is a subject of conjecture but it may have been a grandstand, summerhouse, or appropriately for the shoot a banqueting house. In racing to the location they arrived quite a while before Crier who was travelling in a van with both the Sinar camera and the props for the shoot. The bonhomie continued as Joseph explains that he was, ‘immensely pleased how co-operative everyone was in shooting numerous little cameos with my Hasselblad, which I thought could be useful, but were also to keep the Stones occupied whilst we waited as I felt if given a chance they may scarper to a local pub and never come out!’"

Presumably this shot of Fraser and Jagger was part of the "cameo photos".
