When The Rolling Stones released Beggars Banquet in 1968, it was hailed as a masterpiece and the band's finest effort. The album's inner sleeve, photographed by Michael Joseph, pictured the band in full regalia in an immense castle. This book presents the entire collection of Joseph's photographs, collected here in an oversize, beautifully printed volume.

The book features an epigraph by Keith Richards and an original 10,000-word essay by Robert Greenfield, which describes the genesis of the record, producer Jimmy Miller, the legendary Olympic Studios where the album was recorded, and the mysterious mansion Sarum Chase, where the stunning interior photographs were taken.
