The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
In May, 2010 the Rolling Stones re?released their immortal 1972 album, “Exile On Main Street.” The reissued version from Atlantic Records includes 10 previously unheard tracks from sessions along the way that were never recorded for release. Along with alternate takes of “Loving Cup” and “Soul Survivor,” are other songs that have been remastered and some with minor guitar and vocal adjustments but of the ten new tracks 8 of them you have probaby never been able to listen to until now.
Accompanying the new reissue is a documentary film directed by Stephen Kijak. The film, called ‘Stones in Exile,’ will be shown in the US on network television and on the BBC worldwide.
Many different versions of the reissue have been released including a CD with the bonus tracks, a double LP on vinyl which includes the new songs along with the rest of the album, and—if you can afford it—a collectors edition featuring the LP on vinyl, the documentary on DVD, multiple CD’s, and an assortment of Stones collectibles. As with every Stones Album there are countless legends surrounding the recording of Exile. You can find many of these on the internet and at the band’s official website www.rollingstones.com where you can find press releases and any of the latest information that a fan of the still rocking and still touring Rolling Stones might need to know.
