The Rolling Stones: Exile On Main St. Vinyl 2LP
One of The Rolling Stones' finest moments. Originally released in 1972 as a double album, Exile On Main St. would go down in history as one of the Stones' best works, and considered one of the greatest albums of all time on various lists. The Stones go for a classic rock & roll sound here, inflected with blues, soul and gospel touches. Though Mick Jagger had already expressed boredom with rock & roll by this point (he would shift the group to disco by Some Girls), he still delivers in aces as the frontman, while Keith Richards gives what many regard as his finest performance with raw and rootsy playing throughout. 18 tracks in all including "Rocks Off," "Rip This Joint," "Shake Your Hips," "Tumbling Dice," "Shine A Light" and many more. Double vinyl pressing housed in gatefold sleeve with printed inserts.
- double vinyl reissue
- gatefold sleeve
- printed inserts
