Description

A sprawling, sweat-soaked double album recorded in the basement of a French villa, Exile On Main St is The Rolling Stones at their most raw, rebellious, and rootsy. This 2016 half-speed remastered edition was cut at Abbey Road Studios from high-resolution digital transfers of the original tapes, delivering enhanced clarity and analogue warmth. Pressed on two heavyweight 180-gram vinyl LPs and housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, the set includes replica postcards and printed inner sleeves. From the swagger of “Rocks Off” to the gospel-tinged “Shine A Light,” this edition captures the grit and grandeur of a band in exile and at the peak of their creative powers.

Artist Overview

Exile On Main St is often hailed as the Stones’ greatest achievement — a fusion of blues, country, gospel, and rock ‘n’ roll that feels both chaotic and transcendent. With Mick Jagger’s snarling vocals, Keith Richards’ ragged riffs, and a cast of collaborators including Mick Taylor, Bobby Keys, and Billy Preston, the album is a testament to the band’s mythic status and musical depth.
