The Rolling Stones' Exile On Main St 2020 UK/EU limited edition 18-track double album 2-LP Half Speed Mastered and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl, the finest quality vinyl pressing of their tenth studio album masterpiece originally released in May 1972. Gatefold picture sleeve with replica green & red picture inners, hype sticker & factory sealed.
Still inspired by their Sticky Fingers recording sessions in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Exile on Main Street found the Rolling Stones sounding more like a southern fried juke-joint band than ever before. That Exile on Main Street was recorded in a basement is no surprise, either - much of it sounds as if it was recorded live at a gospel revival, with a final mix that gives no hierarchy to specific instruments. The result is a swampy, most exhilarating chunk of rock and roll euphoria. Exile on Main Street sharpens the country, blues, and gospel tendencies the Stones began exploring in the late '60s on albums like Beggar's Banquet. Here, armed with an assortment of backing musicians and vocalists, the band virtually inhabits the spirit of each style, distilling the whole to a ragged, soulful perfection. From the escalating, horn-driven vamps of Rocks Off through the back porch singalong Sweet Virginia to the mean blues stomp of Ventilator Blues and the church-like strains of Shine a Light, Exile on Main Street's double-album length plays like a weary, boozed-up sermon on the very meaning of rock music. This is the closest the band ever came to religion, and it still has the power to convert.
It's easy to hear why this album is included in the Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
