Exile on Main St.

Steve you are en fuego of late.

Hey, where is that version from Steve Shasta? Really good!

Might actually pull the trigger on this...

The Rolling Stones are to reissue their 1972 album 'Exile On Main Street' with 10 previously unreleased tracks.

The reissue is set to come out on May 17, coinciding with a newly filmed documentary called Stones In Exile, which will be broadcast in May.

As well as the original album, the new release also features 10 previously unreleased Rolling Stones songs from the period that were unearthed while working on the reissue project.

Those tracks include the likes of 'Plundered My Soul', 'Dancing In The Light', 'Following the River' and 'Pass The Wine'. Meanwhile, alternate versions of 'Soul Survivor' and 'Loving Cup' are also included.

The release will be available as both the original 18-track release, and a deluxe edition with the 10 bonus tracks. Meanwhile, a super deluxe package also includes vinyl, a 30-minute documentary DVD, and a 50-page collector’s book.

sounds cool! those outtakes aren't actually familiar to me (unless they're different titles from the bootlegs, which is possible).

real question: will Cocksucker Blues be included

will i be able to buy the unreleased songs as a seperate vinyl album? cuz i would buy that. don't need no book or video and i already got 2 nice copies of exile.

i actually have a 12 inch single of cocksucker blues!

dunno if the links are still working here, but this is killer: http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=305

Man, you weren't kidding, these are great. Thanks for the link.

cocksucker blues??? not nearly as good/signif as Charlie Is My Darling... of course that's from an earlier period...

xpost yeah! that's by far the best Rolling Stones outtakes bootleg I've got ... a lot of them are pretty boring, but there's tons of cool stuff on there, and in good sound quality.

Oh my goodness. as soon as I wipe off the keyboard I'm gonna download this. Many many many thanks.

will Cocksucker Blues be included

Unlikely, it was the last track the Stones owed Decca before they completed their contract, wasn't it? Didn't it get a white label release with a Decca box set, somewhere obscure (italy?)

I think they're talking about the movie of the 1972 tour, in which case the answer is no way, it will never be released

Oh right. And someone has it on 12" single...

I've fallen in love with 'Hillside Blues' - recommend me some more tunes like it please (not necessarily by the Stones)

it's a song and a film. the song came out a couple of years before the film.

Strangest edition of "Give us a clue" ever.

Shock and horror -- there are new Mick Taylor overdubs on the Exile outtakes due soon. As well as Mick and Keith overdubs. It sounds like one instrumental track has been fleshed out into a complete song with new lyrics.

RS: I heard a rumor somewhere that you guys brought in Mick Taylor to overdub some things. Is that true at all?

Don Was: I'm not saying it's not true. I'm simply not going to deny.

what the hell is Don Was doing here

hopefully not walking the dinosaur

thx to whoever posted this (tylerw?)

"ventilator blues" outtake has been blowing my mind

http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=305

He selected the outtakes, apparently. Check the last page of that RS article.

I've really been enjoying Mick's singing on that bootleg. I'm not usually that impressed by him, but he sounds very committed there.

yeah, the bootlegs are cool, because Mick's kinda just going for it, even if he's singing marble mouthed dummy lyrics a lot of the time ...

Jagger's interviews, I gotta admit, are consistently entertaining.

Anyone know if they are they going to remaster Sticky Fingers and Tatoo You soon? I'm stoked to hear a remastered EOMS.

i will download these bonus tracks illegal-like.

this album is fucking best.

or best for fucking, i forget which.

it's always disarming to read interviews w/ jagger and richards. they (but particularly richards) have this slovenly, hang-loose public personae, but then you remember that they are both kind of intellectuals.

I read a Richards interview from the early nineties in which he alluded to Spengler. Jagger once said his favorite novel was Greene's Travels With My Aunt.

nerds

I'm not sure I ever have read any of their interviews. Care to recommend something?

hey tyler how does one find the 5th track on that boot from BigO you linked to above?

The best Jagger one ever.

That one's my favourite xp. Clicking the link took me through to another page with a big blue 'download now' button, which led in turn to another page with the actual link appearing after 15 seconds.

Thanking you, Colin Firth.

Next year Tom Cruise will blow himself up on top of Oprah when he receives his Thalberg.

ha -- wrong thread

yeah, that long "Hillside Blues" is pretty nasty! even more exile-y than exile! minor key, blues lurch.

That interview looks the business, thanks. I wouldn't normally have thought of Jagger as the withholding type, but a friend of mine recently went for an early dinner in some unfamous restaurant up by King's Cross, and when they got there Mick and lady friend were the only customers in the restaurant, leaving not long after my pal sat down, and for some reason it makes sense.

I just scanned it and saw a reference to a difficult, paranoid Brian Jones, which reminded me of a story from Paul McCartney's book:

I remember being in Hyde Park, coming back from John's house in his big chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce. John had a microphone he could use with the speakers mounted underneath the car. We were driving through the park, and ahead of us was Brian's Austin Princess ... We could see his big floppy hat and blond hair and we could see him nervously smoking a ciggy in the back of the car. So John got on the mike and said, 'Pull over now! Brian Jones! You are under arrest! Pull over now!' Brian jumped up. 'Fucking hell!' He really thought he had been busted. He was shitting himself! Then he saw it was us. And we were going 'Yi, yi, yi. Fuck off!' giving V-signs out of the car window.

Seems unnecessarily cruel, really.

I wouldn't normally have thought of Jagger as the withholding type

Most of the best Jagger interviews require the reporter to mediate between Jagger's disdain for interviewing itself and penchant for airy generalities, and his exhibtionism.

I would like to second Ismael's request for suggestions about good Jagger interviews, anybody?

Tell you what..

Get the Rutles DVD, and check out Jagger's full interview there.

He's talking about the rutles, but he's really transposing his opinions (and tales) of the Beatles there.

(any other interview, he's always been supportive/matey regarding them. He's not exactly cutting, but he does let slip a few)

Hillside Blues = rattlesnake of a song.
Can't wait for the reissue.

also: is it just a discarded outtake, or did they record a proper version later?

Not a Stones expert, but I don't think it was properly recorded later.
In the Rolling Stones review, Jagger alludes to a "very, very long song" titled Pass The Wine edited down for the reissue. Maybe it's the same song?

yeah, i was wondering the same thing ... either way, it's safe to say that the new reissue will *not* render the bootlegs obsolete!

Anyone know if they are they going to remaster Sticky Fingers and Tatoo You soon? I'm stoked to hear a remastered EOMS.

came out last year

i'm not an audiophile, but those Virgin reissues (from the 90s) always sounded fine to me ...
