Description

 First pressing came in Unipak design with a sheet of postcards. UNIPAK Patent Pending on inside spine. This is not a re-mastered version.  This is the original, not the 180gram re-issue.  This is not the 'Deluxe' version either. 

Exile on Main St featured a gatefold cover and included a series of 12 perforated postcards with a sequence of images inserts, all of which were shot by photographer Norman Seeff. The back cover features various photos of the Stones; the "mystery woman" pictured in the lower left side is Chris O'Dell, their personal assistant. The album photography and concept was by Robert Frank and includes images from his seminal 1958 book The Americans.

Greeted with decidedly mixed reviews upon its original release, Exile on Main St. has become generally regarded as the Rolling Stones' finest album. Part of the reason why the record was initially greeted with hesitant reviews is that it takes a while to assimilate. A sprawling, weary double album encompassing rock & roll, blues, soul, and country, Exile doesn't try anything new on the surface, but the substance is new. Taking the bleakness that underpinned Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers to an extreme, Exile is a weary record, and not just lyrically.

This COPY DEADWAX:  hand etched "Rolling Stones Records."  ST-RS-722507-C 1-11111, with Artisan Sound Recorders symbol.  'Broadway' address on 'Tongue' label.  COC 2-2900.  Thus, First American Press.
