## Description

The Rolling Stones' 1972 studio album 'Exile On Main Street' is widely regarded by critics and fans alike as the band's masterpiece. It spawned the hit songs 'Happy', a rare song that featured Keith Richards on vocals, country music ballad 'Sweet Virginia', and worldwide hit 'Tumbling Dice.

Review: £3.00 for one of the best albums ever...Unbelievable bargain - I first bought this double album in 1978 on vinyl (I still have it) and also bought it on cd a few years back. I deliberated on buying it again for the extra tracks when it was re-issued again last year, but never got around to it. However, on seeing the price of £3.00, yes £3.00 for the whole original album plus the bonus tracks, I just could not resist such a great offer. desertcart show much more imagination, that iTunes never seem able to do, with their pricing policies. Yes, but is it any good I hear you say.....I have been a Stones fan for a number of years and this is the one album I always come back to. I have read numerous reviews of this album and they vary greatly. However, I am in the camp that says that this is the culmination of the essential run of albums starting with Beggars Banquet in 1968 through to Exile in 1972. All Stones albums after Exile are measured against their last great release. Yes, subsequent albums have great tracks but none have ever matched the brilliance of Exile. Throughout there are just wonderful songs. One of my favourite Stones tracks has always been Let It Loose - one of Jagger's best moments but it seems to be underrated. Because I originally bought it on vinyl, I still think of the album as 4 separate sides. If I had to pick, my favourite would be "side 4" - the four final tracks leave me speechless each time I play them. This is just an enjoyable album. Not too sure about the bonus/extra tracks as yet. The demo versions of Loving Cup, Tumbling Dice and Sole Survivor are very interesting to hear though, to see how the songs evolved and end up in their final form. What I do know is that the original album is one of the best rock albums ever made and for £3.00 you just cannot go wrong!
Review: ... so it might be regarded by some as the greatest contribution by the Inland Revenue to world culture - If it had not been for the British tax man this album would probably never have been created so it might be regarded by some as the greatest contribution by the Inland Revenue to world culture.It was originally released in 1972 to mixed reviews from both the music press and even some of the band. Nonetheless, the public realised something more significant was taking place and made it a commercial hit. The album is a back to basics R&B classic that pre dated punk and new wave music by at least 3-4 years. In a era when the concept album with tracks running to complete sides or more was becoming the norm Exiles On Main Street bucked the trend by having no song longer than 5 minutes 16 seconds and over 5 tracks under 3 minutes. It also had a raw and spontaneous feel that few studio albums of the era could match. Of course, much of this achievement as with so many significant works of art was largely unplanned. Half of the band and much of the production team were off their heads on drugs when it was recorded and the other half only turned up briefly to make their contributions. Given these circumstances it is hardly surprising the songs sound a bit rough around the edges at the time. Nonetheless the sheer quality and energy of the band always shines through. Despite the fact the album was largely recorded in France I rate this the work where the Stones have most integrated and authentically expressed the Black American musical influences that inspired them. Finally, whatever, its short comings this is the Stones most influential album because it is the one that most musicians use as a reference point. As a consequence whether some Stone fans like it or not that makes it their cultural and artistic high water mark .
