Unfortunately ABKCO is not letting me know any details about the 50th anniversary projects for Beggars Banquet or The Circus. So I couldn't really find out much other than there will be a Blu-ray and 4-k release of the movies.

On October 5th, ABKCO Films will release a 4K restoration of Sympathy for the Devil on DVD, Blu-ray and through digital services in celebration of its initial release 50 years ago.

One of the landmark new wave films of the late ’60s, directed by the celebrated Jean-Luc Godard, Sympathy for the Devil alternates between reflections on contemporary politics and social issues of the late 1960s as well as giving the audience an unprecedented view of The Rolling Stones creative process in the recording studio working on what would become one of the band’s defining tracks.

The Rolling Stones original line-up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman were joined by Nicky Hopkins, Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg and James Fox in the landmark session that took place at Olympic Sound Studios in London in June 1968.

The new edition of Godard’s Sympathy For The Devil is a 4K restoration of the film from the original 35mm camera negative that was initially released in 1969. The color grading has been supervised by the original cinematographer, Tony Richmond BSC, ASC. Richmond holds dozens of credits as cinematographer including Let it Be, and Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now for which he won BAFTA’s Best Cinematography award in 1973.

The expanded re-release of the film includes numerous extras including the entirety of One Plus One (Godard’s director’s cut) as well as Voices, a 1968 documentary on the making of Sympathy For The Devil, along with a 2018 documentary featuring interviews with Tony Richmond and Mim Scala, one of the film’s producers. Additional extras include a full-length commentary track by Godard authority David Sterritt, former Chairman of the National Society of Film Critics, and the physical package showcases an essay by author Danny Goldberg (In Search of the Lost Chord: 1967 and the Hippie Idea, Dispatches From The Culture Wars). Goldberg wrote, “Musically, the film shows the Stones manifesting a fragile balance between fidelity to roots and to innovation. Created more than a decade before MTV began, Sympathy For the Devil can be seen as a long music video, completely unique at the time in showing the work and creativity that goes into the making of a record.”

When Mick Met Jean-Luc

By J. Hoberman
Sept. 12, 2018

Among other things, 1970 was the year that brought three Mick Jagger movies to American theaters.

Mr. Jagger starred in the acid thriller “Performance”; the concert film “Gimme Shelter”; and the less-seen Jean-Luc Godard film, “One Plus One,” also known as “Sympathy for the Devil,” which is having a run in a 4K digital restoration at the Museum of Modern Art.

Mr. Godard was at the peak of his counterculture prestige when, having failed to interest John Lennon in playing Leon Trotsky, he made his first English-language film with Mr. Jagger and the Rolling Stones. Soon after the events of May 1968, which included not only a student uprising in Paris but also protests that shut down the Cannes Film Festival, he documented several recording sessions in which the Stones worked out the melody and arrangement of “Sympathy for the Devil,” the first track of their album “Beggars Banquet.”

The evolution of the song from folkie ballad to hypnotic samba, preserved in a series of long, choreographed takes, would be illuminating in itself, but Mr. Godard had much more in mind. The rehearsals are interspersed with scenes in which Anne Wiazemsky, then his wife, spray-paints slogans on surfaces ranging from pub facades to parked cars, and, identified as “Eve Democracy,” gives monosyllabic answers to a television crew whose questions were largely drawn from a Playboy interview with Norman Mailer.

There is also a sequence showing one of the film’s producers, the Canadian actor Iain Quarrier, declaiming passages from “Mein Kampf” in a used-magazine store, and footage of black revolutionaries, among them the musician Frankie Dymon Jr., reading incendiary excerpts from Eldridge Cleaver’s “Soul on Ice” in a junkyard. That Mr. Godard’s camera is as mobile here as it is in the Rolling Stones’s rehearsal scenes (and that two women subject Mr. Dymon to a barrage of questions) suggests that, like the movie’s title song, the black revolution is still finding its form.

Many sequences are introduced by the filmmaker’s punning intertitles (“All About Eve,” “Under the Stones the Beach”). Intermittently, the soundtrack is dominated by an often hilarious near-pornographic political thriller suggestive of William S. Burroughs that, in addition to a scurrilous episode involving the pope, includes a reference to “Uncle Mao’s yellow submarine.”

This stimulating assemblage had a notably tumultuous premiere at the 1969 London Film Festival. Bowing to commercial considerations, the producers had renamed the movie “Sympathy for the Devil” and dubbed the complete recording of the song over the last sequence. In response, Mr. Godard assaulted Mr. Quarrier onstage and suggested that the audience demand a refund. He had a point. The use of the finished song not only undermines the film’s argument that the revolution is a work in progress but distracts from the majestic closing shot in which Eve Democracy collapses on a camera dolly, which sweeps her up into the sky.

The versions alternated when the film opened in New York in April 1970. “Why anyone, given the choice, would prefer a producer’s version of a movie to the director’s escapes me,” Roger Greenspun wrote in his review for The New York Times. MoMA is showing the complete “Sympathy for the Devil” and following it with the ending of “One Plus One.” Would that it were the reverse, screening the entirety of “One Plus One” and the conclusion of “Sympathy for the Devil.”

The endearingly out of tune ‘Blood Red Wine’ is perhaps my favorite unreleased Stones song. It would’ve been regarded as highly as Wild Horses had somebody bothered to fight for it, I’m sure of it. But as much as I’d like them to give it the zombie treatment a la Plundered My Soul, and as vastly superior it would be to any of their new material, if I’m Mick Jagger I’d tell me that I’m sh*t out of luck. I mean he arguably has better things to do.

They continued to work on the song and eventualy released it as 'Winter' on Goats Head Soup.

Well ok a different song but they certainly included lyrical parts from BRW in the finished 'Winter'. As if to make the point Carla Olson (with Mick Taylor on guitar) features BRW lyrics on her cover of 'Winter' as the song closes.

Shouldn't that be four? I think he forgot NED KELLY.

There wasn't much happening before the Satanic-release, either. All of a sudden, the 2000 LYFH and She's A Rainbow-videos popped up close before the release date.

But I agree, this should be a big event - they should do something.

Yes strange. We've heard news about the Beatles' White album Deluxe, and we've heard news about Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks Deluxe, yet nothing on this BB 50th.

I'm sure we'll get word soon on Xmas goodies this year. If ABKCO does a Beggars and a Rock and Roll Circus release, maybe the current Stones business won't feel a need to release something new from their vaults, which must be getting scant by now, especially videotaped concerts.

I always think of it as an embryonic version of "Winter" the same as "Highway Bound" is an embryonic version of "Bitch." Obviously, Allen Klein didn't agree, though or else he would have claimed the publishing rights.
