THE HISTORY OF “BEGGAR’S BANQUET” IN JAPAN

Since DECCA Records refused to pass the (in)famous ‘toilet’ cover the group wanted to use for the forthcoming album, ‘Beggar’s Banquet’ release was delayed several times before being scheduled for December 1968. On December 5th, the Rolling Stones offered a very special press party at the Elizabethan Rooms, London, and the day after ‘Beggar’s Banquet’ was in the shops with its classic white cover. The album was released Worldwide, but not in Japan. For some unknown reasons, King Records did not press own stock copies of the album. They built up a very beautiful promotional set consisting of a white label promotional album and a special double-sided color insert. The album came in a standard King Record company sleeve with ‘sample record’ printed on front and with large holes to show the album labels. Labels do not read LONDON or DECCA and have PS-539 catalog number (as US LONDON copies did); strangely enough, sides are reversed and, so, the album starts with ‘Street Fighting Man’ and is closed by ‘Jig-saw Puzzle’. The illustrated insert shows the fold-open cover and gives the (correct) track listing; moreover, the flyer announces that the album will be released on 20 February 1969. When the album was available in February 1969, a bunch of the very first copies had a freebie added. This freebie is a double-sided 7” flexi (P-83) including a telephonic interview given by Mick Jagger to a King Records promotion man on 17 April 1968, from London. The cover of this flexi is illustrated with a photograph of the cake-in-the-face press party of 5 December 1968. One of the inserts of the album consists of the translation into Japanese of the telephonic interview. The freebie is often related to the 1973 genuine print of ‘Beggar’s Banquet’, but it’s from 1969 as the mention to PS-539 on its back cover witnesses.
