Product description
Remasterd 1972 CLASSIC!!
Amazon.com
Before Keith Richards's bad habits took over for a time in the mid-'70s, his work ethic was quite high. Stories abound of the long, if somewhat off-schedule, hours he spent working on this classic album in the basement of his home in France. Hanging together as much because of great songwriting ("Rocks Off," "Soul Survivor") as its fabled grungy atmosphere, Exile caps the Stones' great 1968-'72 run with a force that belies their supposed spiritual tiredness. What some of these songs are about is anybody's guess--Keith claims "Ventilator Blues" was inspired by a grate, while the song plays like an ode to a pistol--but that's just part of this album's hazy game. --Rickey Wright

Original review:
I'll begin by echoing what some other reviewers have mentioned: this is a terrific Rolling Stones album (actually, when released, it was a two album set), but without a lot of great singles on it. But that may be a part of why this is such a good work. There is rawness throughout the set of songs--and raggedness. It has an earthy rock and roll/blues sensibility and it works because of its rawness, as opposed to despite its rawness. One characteristic, too, is how difficult it is sometimes to make out the words to the songs (there is a famous quotation attributed to Mick Jagger that this was intentional at times).
The CD begins with two flat out neat rockers--"Rocks Off" and "Rip This Joint." Jagger growls and the band plays with a hard edge to it. Then, to one of the gems--the Stones' version of Slim Harpo's great blues number, "Shake Your Hips." Jagger sings it differently from Harpo, but he is effective in his own way. The Stones show that they can play blues well (and note a later piece on "Exile," once recorded by Robert Johnson himself, "Stop Breakin' Down").
One of the few "hits" off this work, "Tumbling Dice," well played here. Some interesting features: Jagger on guitar and Mick Taylor on bass. Then, "Sweet Black Angel" which, if my memory serves me correctly (please correct me if I'm in error), was inspired by activist Angela Davis. A catchy hook and tune. "Ventilator Blues" seems to focus on a bad hair day, with one line being "I feel like murder in the first degree." This is a down and dirty song, with some gritty instrumental work.
One of Keith Richards' earlier solos shows up here, the up tempo "Happy," featuring a nice guitar riff to start the song off, presumably Mick Taylor's work. And "Exile on Main Street" concludes with "Soul Survivor," a lively song featuring some guitar work and nice keyboards. Jagger's voice is ragged and, because of this, quite effective in the context of the entire CD.
The Stones near or at the pinnacle of their career--Jagger on vocals, Taylor and Richards on guitar, Wyman on bass, Watts on drums. "Friends" showing up: Keys on sax, Price on horns, Hopkins on piano, Stewart (an old Stone himself) on piano, and so on. A rip roaring rock and roll album.
Addenda:
First, the print of the cover notes for this edition are so small that it's hard to see who played on each cut (it's tough to see one's vision decline with age!). Here are a few observations on some of the ten bonus tracks. Some of these were fragments and the Rolling Stones finished them in 2010. Others were in "the vaults" and reproduced as they were then. Given that "Exile" was not a "great hits" album, these bonus tracks, for the most part, fit in pretty well. Let's take a look at a few of these.
"Pass the wine" is a bluesy song. It fits well with Side 4 of the original 4 sided album. There is an alternate version of "Loving Cup," too. There is nice guitar work here and this is an interesting alternative look at this song. Then, "Soul Survivor." Keith sings vocals. I'm not sure he carries this off as well as Mick Jagger, but it adds an interesting variation to this exquisite song. "Good Time Women"--this starts off with some nice guitar work. Jagger's singing works well here. This is an upbeat song with a raunchy ethos to it. Finally, one last example--"Title 5." Only three people play: Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts., It's as much a jam session as anything else. It is laid back and kind of fun to enjoy (although nothing special). Watts' drumming is awfully good. . . .
Do the new cuts add anything? On the one hand, no. The original "Exile" stands on its own. On the other hand, it is interesting to hear some of the songs that did NOT make the album or to hear alternate versions of songs that did appear. For historical interest only, this makes the additional cuts worth listening to. However, some of these are also interesting musically. . . .
While many classic albums of the late 60's and early 70's might be showing their age, "Exile on Main Street," is just as fresh and demanding as it was when first released in 1972. From Keith Richard's power chords signaling the beginning of "Rocks Off" to the frantic loud and raucous guitar fade of "Soul Survivor" Mick, Keith, Charlie, and the boys go for the throat on the Stones most powerful album. The Stones employ all their influences at their best: blues, gospel, country, R&B, and good old garage band rock n roll. The Stones love Chuck Berry, check out "Rip This Joint." Next, try some Slim Harpo blues, "Shake Your Hips." If you don't feel totally greased up by now, then get ready for "Casino Boogie" with Keith and Mick Taylor trading guitar licks sounding like screeching alley cats with Charlie Watts playing a naughty strip tease rhythm on the drums. What would be the end of side one on the LP ends with the great classic hit, "Tumblin' Dice."
"Exile on Main Street" is a loosely structured concept album, in essence the Stones' journey through America. Thus side two, take the listener on a little spin out in the sticks with "Sweet Virginia" where you'd better be ready to scrape the sh## right off your shoes. For another stab at country music in much the same trippy mood as Gram Parson's "New Soft Shoe" comes "Torn and Frayed" the kind of song George Jones or Merle Haggard could only dream of. "Sweet Black Angel" brings in a little island music sound with its gentle marimbas. Finally, side two ends with the powerful country ballad with Nicky Hopkins, whose piano mastery can be heard on almost every cut on the album, pounding out one of his best piano leads on any Stones album with "Loving Cup." Side three opens with Keith Richards' most familiar song, "Happy." From there the Stones turn in one of their sleaziest, grungiest, most menacing tunes ever where Keith locks them in a manic rhythm that never lets up from start to finish, guitars and piano playing in total sync as Mick belts out some of the Stones' most mysonistic lyrics ever with "Turd on the Run." "Ventilator Blues" is a show case for Mick Taylor's fine slide guitar playing. The next number, "Just Want to See His Face" is perhaps the oddest song on the album. It sounds like something coming across an old AM radio late at night from an African American southern church service. The rhythms are captivating. Side three ends with the album's most powerful ballad with some killer horn and vocal arrangements, "Let It Loose." After working the listener into an emotional frenzy with that tune, now it's time to start down the album's home stretch with one of the Stones' great concert rockers, "All Down the Line" with some of the most creative hooks the Stones have ever stuck in one of their straight ahead rockers. "Stop Breakin' Down" is the second cover of a blues classic on the album. Is it any wonder to this day the old blues masters still perform with Mick and the boys? "Shine A Light" is a glorious spiritual masterpiece with lovely gospel piano and organ provided by Billy Preston and two of the most memorable guitar solos ever performed in a Stones classic. Finishing up in a mad frenzy on what was a full two album set is "Soul Surivor" a tune that starts off hot and keeps getting faster, louder, and nastier as the song continues. Somehow the way the guitars keep chiming into a fade at the end gives the listener the idea that the journey continues long after the album stops playing.
It's muddy, it's dirty, but after the 1994 remaster, American listeners finally get to hear the Stones best album in its full glory. The American LP pressings were horrible, tinny and shrill with so much of the details and subtlties missing in action. The CBS release of the first CD was absolutely horrible. Did anybody do any premastering planning? The European record albums were beautiful and the 1994 CD finally gives the listener a chance to hear all the details in the massive wall of sound without compromising the rough and rowdy sound that the album strives so hard to maintain.
There's so much going on with every song. After all these years, it's still growing on me. I've worn out five LP's and two CD's enjoying this album.
No rock music collection is legit without this album, period. Play it as loud as you can handle it.

Parece mais mono de que stereo, nada nos graves, nada nos agudos e no meio uma melange. A voz do Mick Jagger as vezes tão longe que nem dar para entender as palavras. Cada download via internet supera o som deste disco dez vezes !
Frustação total. Talvez serve para um antigo som 3 em 1 de 1970, pessoas mais exigentes vão pensar que alguma coisa está errada no som deles.
