the latest tendency has been trying to play down the supposed radical change, and seeing it more just another change in their way of coping with the trends and changes of the musial climate - this time it just clicked better.

More info and music has been made available showing that the musical change from 1967 to 1968 wasn't as radical a turn around as the 2 officially released albums suggest. There is a clear thread linking 1967 to 1968 which is clearly heard on The Satanic Sessions box set - Surrey Rehearsals - Pay Your Dues, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Child of The Moon, Jigsaw Puzzle etc.
The thing that sets Beggars apart from the albums that followed it, is that there is a distinct lack of normal rock guitar playing(which is why I love it!), the electric parts have a psych edge to them, electric lead licks still in TSMR vain for most part.

Many thanks for this. Just had a quick listen to some of the material on the Surrey Rehearsals which I'd never heard before. It's quite clear that the vein of music to come is present in some of these recordings.

In the UK albums only would mean Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Peppers, The Beatles, Abbey Road...
This is a stones forum so I don't expect much support for this, but as good as the stones albums are, I don't think they beat that run of albums by The Beatles.
The sheer volume of high standard song writing, breadth of styles and collective influence those Beatles albums contain is really quite amazing!

Of note here regarding B.B. & L.I.B. These song were written around the same time.
I.e. all the songs on B.B. where written at the same time as the L.I.B. song's
I read it in a Jagger interview somewhere, and if memory serves right, there is where their idea for a double ablum came about.
So, moving from B.B. to L.I.B isn't that much of a change in style.
