The limited edition of EXILE ON MAIN STREET contains all the artwork from the original 2-LP release and is packaged in a slipcase. 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 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 & roll euphoria. EXILE 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'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.

Reviews  exile The Rolling Stones "Exile On Main Street" is Keith Richard's personal favorite and the Stones best. I can see why, the album is a standard by which pure rock and roll should be measured. Also, I have the other cd's that were released in this collector's series so I had to complete this release for myself. susanjo Review ID: 10000000006042039 Was this review helpful? Report this review Exile on main street (limited) rolling stones 1994Review created: 04/02/07 by: Very rare cd also known as mini lp. Reminds you of early lp's by the art work in side. The mini lp's were released during The Rolling Stones vodoo lounge ablum and got ready for tour that year so virgin thought to give you that kick reminder of the great stones lp's from the early 70's to the early 80's. If you are a stones fan this is a collecter's item you have to have. Eddie Review ID: 10000000003281308 Was this review helpful? Report this review One of Stone's Best AlbumsReview created: 11/09/06 by: 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Before my first listen of this album, I knew only three songs that were on this album. I thought maybe I knew Rocks Off, but I believe that the version that I knew of is a Rod Stewart song. I knew Tumbling Dice, Happy, and Shine a Light. That left 15 songs I didn't know so I didn't really know what to expect. There are a lot of them though that sound sound eerily familiar, and the first time I listened to them I thought they were all right. The second time they grew on me, and after that I thought that this could possibly be one of the best albums of all time. There's not a lot of flash on this album. No big time hit, but a lot of good songs. There's no need to go into the highlights of this album, because they're all equally good tunes. It's almost like a gospel album. I don't know what influences the Stones had when they wrote this album, but it worked brilliantly Review ID: 10000000002327224 Was this review helpful? Report this review   Where s the lyrics? Where s the tunes? Where s the feeling?Review created: 05/16/01 by: Daniel_Rf -- a member of Epinions Pros: Shine A Light is a classic Cons: Uninspired, cocaine-snorting blooze with a complete absence of inspiration. It is not a rare occurrence that a record most people overlook becomes a fave of mine ( Mutations , 13 , Something Else By The Kinks and Nothing s Shocking being prime examples). Similarly, there is a considerable list of supposedly must have albums that I don t get at all- this includes the loathsome Kid A ; the trying-too-hard In Utero ; the well intentioned but way too sugary for it s own good What s Going On ; and, above all, Exile On Main Street , a double album (or single CD) filled with the lamest, most tedious cocaine hangover music that the Stones have ever produced that has...
