The Rolling Stones Sympathy For The Devil ( Studio) 1968

After the Rolling Stones partly misguided, partly inspired attempt at psychedelia, Their Satanic Majesties Request, the band found its footing again in the familiar territory of the Delta Blues. But with the 1968 recording of Beggars Banquet, they also retained some of the previous albums experimentation, taken in a more sinister direction on the infamous Sympathy for the Devil. In the studio, with the band during those recording sessions, was none other than radical French New Wave director JeanLuc Godard, who brought his own experimental sensibilities to a project he would call One Plus One, a document of the Stones late sixties incarnationincluding an increasingly reclusive Brian Jones. Godard punctuates the fascinating studio scenes of the Stones with what Andrew Hussey of The Guardian calls a series of set piecesan incoherent stew of Situationism and other Sixties stuff
