Exile on Main St.

yer crazy.

try some Doug Sahm / Sir Douglas Quintet

so are there other albums from this time period that have the 'exile' feel?

Sly's Riot, of course. Donna Summer's Once Upon A Time... from a little later. From way later, Prince's "Strange Relationship."

There's (yet another) storied boot from the time called Philadelphia Special. But as with 99.9% of boots, it's nowhere near as special as so many claim.

THE SUNSHINE BORES THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME

there's a riot goin on in agreement to q above.

this was one of the first "classic" rock albums I bought and it is still among my absolute favourites. I especially love a couple of lesser known songs, like Ventilator Blues (sticky and malevolent as a Faulkner novel) and I just Wanna See His Face - Let It Loose is another fantastic number. Great great album from start to finish.

So amazing. Wanna See His Face is so gorgeous.

Sweet Virginia still slays me. Everything on here.

GOT TO SCRAPE THE SHIT RIGHT OFF YOUR SHOES

oh i didn't say, i thin k 'sweet black angel' and 'happy' are my fav songs on thsi ri now.

happy is like fuck everytnhing

so are there other albums from this time period that have the 'exile' feel?

first Little Feat album maybe, the Stones were pretty into them I think in the same era that they made Exile and I feel like the production and overall vibe are comparable.

thakng you

The Royal Trux album? Would second that.

How about the Allmann Brothers Band?

LET IT LOOSE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Who's that woman on your arm all dressed up to do you harm
And I'm hip to what she'll do, give her just about a month or two.
Bit off more than I can chew and I knew what it was leading to,
Some things, well, I can't refuse,
One of them, one of them the bedroom blues.
She delivers right on time, I can't resist a corny line,
But take the shine right off you shoes,
Carryin', carryin' the bedroom blues.
Oo...

In the bar you're getting drunk, I ain't in love, I ain't in luck.
Hide the switch and shut the light, let it all come down tonight.
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger,
Some face you'll never see no more.

Let it all come down tonight.
Keep those tears hid out of sight, let it loose, let it all come down.

^^^ My favourite.

Oddly, I listened to this yesterday while mowing the lawn. I love the sound of this album; the vaunted murk, the subsumed vocals and dominant drums. "Torn and Frayed" is just fabulous.

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.

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/32635178/the_secrets_behind_the_rolling_stones_exile_on_main_street_reissue

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?
