This clip clearly shows that the writing on the wall in the Stieltjestraat in The Hague (demolished around 1970) was wrong. It had an "I" prefixed to Q65.
Heard this in high school in the mid sixties - a school mate had the LP. Never stopped thinking about it. Led Zeppelin did a cover which was almost as good.
In July of 1968 my father (just turned 18) boarded a plane to visit some friends studying in Amsterdam. He was about to be drafted but his comments to my grandfather on that were 'Fuck that shit!' (his exact words!). He lived in Amsterdam for 4 years. During that time he managed to purchase all of Q65's records. I heard about them by accident and LOVED them! When I told my father, he laughed and went down to the basement.....and the rest is history (sort of!).
It's got little to do with beggars banquet. Both The Beatles and The Stones had access to equipment that made their 1968 albums sound very `in your face' and very thick. This stuff sounds older (actually it IS older) But some elements, most notably what they did with the reverb on the vocal only became fashionable much later.
I would think this sound of the song & even the vid. would influence a couple of groups that would get their start a little later in 1966: including from Britian: Pink Floyd, The Pretty Things & The Troggs; from the U.S.: The Velvet Underground & The Music Machine (I can hear the roots of the original "Talk Talk" in this song) & The Electric Prunes; and from Australia: The Masters Apprentices & The Loved Ones.

It's a pity no one has uploaded yet the full 14-minute version of this amazing cover by perhaps the best Dutch blues-rock/ r 'n' b band of the 1960s.

Whell...what I meant ,more or less,
was the whole mood and atmosphere
of Revolution,also some Delta feel,from 5 blokes who (unlike The Stones) never sat a foot in the U.S.
Just like "Beggars", "Rev" still sounds
fresh today.

Holland's very own Beggars Banquet? I'd compare it to 12x5, this is better than Beggars Banquet
