Universal
Music Group is pleased to announce the re-release of The Rolling
Stones’ album Exile on Main Street with an additional 10
never-before-heard tracks. Regarded as one of the greatest albums in
rock ‘n’ roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones’
catalogue, Exile will be available May 17, 2010, in the U.K.
Upon
its release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street
innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists
into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. This new compilation features
10 tracks originally recorded during the Exile era and only recently
discovered while working on the reissue project. The unearthed tracks
which include such titles as “Plundered My Soul,” “Dancing in the
Light,” “Following the River” and “Pass The Wine” have undergone a
unique evolution, while staying true to the essence of the 1972 album.
Alternate versions of “Soul Survivor” and “Loving Cup” also are a part
of the Exile bonus materials.
As a complement to the release of
Exile on Main Street, a documentary, “Stones in Exile,” has just been
completed for fans to view on US Network television and through BBC
Worldwide internationally. The documentary features rare,
never-before-seen archival film, photos and interviews as well as new
conversations with the band and the artists they influence. Produced by
Oscar -winning filmmaker John Battsek and directed by Stephen Kijak,
who is known for award-winning work on Cinemania, and Scott Walker: 30
Century Man, “Stones in Exile” offers an uncommon glimpse into the
lives of the band as they created one of the greatest albums of all
time.
The original 18-track double-album was recorded in various
stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios in London,
Keith Richard’s mansion Nellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where
the literal “Main Street” influenced the album title. These atypical
circumstances surrounding the recording process greatly affected the
album’s outcome which was highly reflective and influenced by the
sociopolitical turbulence that marked the late `60s and early `70s. The
Stones nixed the influences of a flower-child era and directed their
creative process with the edgier, excessive, “more is more” approach of
the `70s. Exile reveals a sprawling mix of genres with undertones of
blues, country, R&B and gospel mixed with lyrics that fervently
demand for release and liberation.
The album pulled together
an electric array of talent including Dr. John, the late Billy Preston
and pianist Nicky Hopkins. Guitarist Mick Taylor, who replaced Brian
Jones in the band shortly before Jones died in 1969, is a magnificent
blues player who brought an intensity and elegance to these epic
tracks. At times, these musicians and others lived on the recording
studio premises with the band creating an extremely open and creative
collaboration for the album.
“The album’s riveting portrait of
artists pushed – by the times, by themselves – to the very limits of
their creativity has provided inspiration to every musical generation
that has come along since Exile was released in 1972,” said author
Anthony DeCurtis. “Every song on Exile on Main Street is elevated by
its relationship to the music that comes before and after it. The
album’s irresistible power is unlikely to diminish any time soon.”
Exile
on Main Street will be available in two CD formats: the original 18
track release; a deluxe CD edition with the 10 special bonus tracks;
and a super deluxe package that also includes vinyl, a 30-minute
documentary DVD with footage from Cocksucker Blues, Ladies and
Gentlemen The Rolling Stones and Stones in Exile, and a 50-page
collector’s book with photos from the Exile era. The 10 unreleased
tracks were produced by Jimmy Miller, The Glimmer Twins and Don Was.
