But the artist who truly put Beggars Banquet on the map was Gary Numan. Originally calling himself Tubeway Army, his 1978 debut album sold out all 5,000 copies – enough to create a buzz around London. It was here, however, that Mills and Austin learned their first lesson about the record business: flops will hurt, but success can be even more dangerous. Pressing thousands of records required a level of cash flow that their six little shops couldn’t sustain. Convinced Gary Numan was bound for glory, they kept dipping into the cash reserves to buy him synthesisers, as salary cheques started bouncing.

Beggars Banquet was first released in the United Kingdom by Decca Records on 6 December 1968, and in the United States by London Records the following day. [20] Like the band's previous album, it reached number three on the UK Albums Chart, but remained on the chart for fewer weeks. [21] The album peaked at number five on the Billboard 200. [22] To finance his three months in court, Mills had to dip into 4AD’s cash reserves, but felt so guilty about it, he gave half of the label’s shares to Watts-Russell. In March 1990, the judge ruled in Mills’ favour: “You could see this enormous weight being lifted from Martin’s shoulders,” recalled Watts-Russell. “In the pub afterwards, we all had tears in our eyes.” But then, just a year later, another crisis hit when Rough Trade’s distribution system collapsed. For scores of indies such as 4AD, hundreds of thousands of pounds were lost in debt, threatening a tidal wave of bankruptcies across Britain’s music business. As indie bosses screamed in endless crisis meetings, Mills and others calmly won majority support to set up a new distribution company, RTM, whose profits paid off everyone’s debts within 18 months. In many respects, then, Beggars has been an answer to the record crash. With branches in New York, Los Angeles, Ontario, Paris, Hamburg, Milan, Brussels, Amsterdam, Athens, Beijing and Tokyo, the Beggars Group is now a global operation plugged into the world’s best independent distributors and record shops. Beggars was already a big hitter; but Adele’s gazillion- pound success over the last decade has certainly helped ensure that both XL and the parent company will remain flush for years to come.

A strong acoustic Delta blues flavour colours much of the material, particularly Prodigal Son and Jagger and Richards’ No Expectations. In August 2002, ABKCO Records reissued Beggars Banquet as a newly remastered LP and SACD/CD hybrid disk. [55] This release corrected a flaw in the original album by restoring each song to its proper, slightly faster speed. Due to an error in the mastering, Beggars Banquet was heard for over thirty years at a slower speed than it was recorded. This had the effect of altering not only the tempo of each song, but the song's key as well. These differences were subtle but important, and the remastered version is about 30 seconds shorter than the original release. Easlea, Daryl (2007). "The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet Review".

Glyn Johns, the album's recording engineer and a longtime collaborator of the band, said that Beggars Banquet signalled "the Rolling Stones' coming of age.... I think that the material was far better than anything they'd ever done before. The whole mood of the record was far stronger to me musically." [5] Producer Jimmy Miller described guitarist Keith Richards as "a real workhorse" while recording the album, mostly due to the infrequent presence of Brian Jones. When he did show up at the sessions, Jones behaved erratically due to his drug use and emotional problems. [5] Miller said that Jones would "show up occasionally when he was in the mood to play, and he could never really be relied on: I would spend most days driving to all of the shops, while Peter managed Earl’s Court.” Two tiny rooms in the basement served briefly as an office, but in 1980, they moved to a room above the shop, no more than 20 by 12 feet. “There were often up to eight of us, somehow entertaining potential signees and listening to their demos. For years, my chair was a propane-gas cylinder.” Karnbach, James; Bernson, Carol (1997). The Complete Recording Guide to the Rolling Stones. Aurum Press Limited. ISBN 1-85410-533-7.
