"Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" is devoting its entire run during the week of May 10 to special shows saluting the Rolling Stones' iconic album "Exile on Main Street." That week, a host of major acts will perform covers of songs from "Exile," and that Friday's (May 14) episode will feature the premiere of a new documentary about the album's creation, "Stones in Exile."

Participating bands have yet to be officially announced, but they are expected to include some of rock's biggest names. It is also unknown if members of the Rolling Stones will be part of the celebration.

The 'Exile' hype machine is gaining steam.
Fallon dropped a coupla broad hints that Mick and Keith will be appearing.

Seems reasonable to assume that Phish will be one of the bands...

Now, I don't think they owe me anything - I was just sort of "waxing" (ha!) hyperbolic about that to what was hopefully the amusement of all, but seriously . . . I am, as a vinyl/Rolling Stones/rock 'n' roll loyalist, the EXACT DEMOGRAPHIC for this piece of shit, and I can't be the only one getting off the bus on it because of the poorly thought out product execution. If Jagger wants $$ value for his time he needs to understand what makes this release worthy of the hype and deliver the right product combination to the people who will buy it. That's just economics. The "if it sells, we'll do more" logic only works if the product is worth buying. That's a two way st.

I was thinking the exact same thing today. The only people interested and willing to put up silly money for this are precisely hard-core fans of the band AND of the band on VINYL. Your average "greatest hits" fan isn't going to buy this. They're pissing on/off the fans who have been jonesing for something like this for YEARS. NO ONE is gonna buy this box of bullshit.

Here is my take on all this...

I am not an audophile. I love the Stones. I have Exile and pretty much all the highly circulated bootleg material. I don't need a remastered Exile unless I can tell the difference (like you could with the Beatles ReMasters) on my present low tech sound system. Since I'm all digital I don't care about the 7"!! Wink

I am not the "ultimate collector"-another term well known to many here is hoarder....

I AM interested in the "new" songs and the DVD material unless it is the same stuff I have and not worth the bother. (I'll wait for someone's review) I have worn out my Exile CD so I guess I can spring for that and the new songs..

I feel your pain, guys. But haven't we learned by now that you can't always get what you want....

Released in 1972, "Exile on Main Street" is infamous for its debaucherous recording sessions at Keith Richards' mansion in the south of France. The album spawned a host of instant Stones classics, including "Loving Cup," "Sweet Virginia," "Tumbling Dice," "Ventilator Blues," "Rocks Off" and "Torn and Frayed."

"Exile" will be reissued on May 18 through Universal with 10 previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions, including "Following the River," "Plundered My Soul," "Pass the Wine" and "Dancing in the Light." A super deluxe edition includes the album on vinyl, a 30-minute DVD and a 50-page book with photos from the era.

I don't buy that PDM. For the last 5 (?) years it's more like you can't ever get what you want. In other words, you should have said, don't you know by now, (You Can't Get No) Satisfaction?

And that, sadly, is because the one-time masters of releasing rock and roll product and producing live rock and roll shows are no longer capable of providing competent service to their devoted customer base.

I keep thinking of this in terms of the sheer economics that Jagger is supposed to be such a ('scuse me) whizz at.

How many potential C+ notes are going to go back into the wallets of people like me who will decide they don't need EXile DeluXe because the new material isn't on vinyl? A lot, I would imagine. Enough to offset the cost of pressing, mastering, and packaging that third LP? Well, you'd think so, especially considering that it's listing for anywhere from $30 to $100 more than the Ya Ya's set, which was also 3 LPs, a DVD, a book, and two CDs. So a potential revenue stream is replaced instead by a white elephant useful ONLY to hoarders who still have to have everything and say they're grateful to whatever product the band chooses to peddle.

Rolling Stones Inc. is stupid. Mondo stupid to lose me as a customer for a fucking rerelease vinyl object. Incompetence of the highest commercial order. Somebody put this firm under new management.

I would like to note, however, that I am still on board for the 7".

I have serious doubts that these old fogies know or care about what their "machine" is doing. And after reading the Uncut article, me thinks Mick just can't be arsed (hmmmm ..where did that come from?)!!

Sales? in todays music environment the Stones could be releasing the original Exile for the first time and I doubt it would crack the top 10. So how many of a remastered 30+ yr old album ya think they will sell at these prices?

Nobody is gonna harsh my buzz over Exile. If there ever was an album I would buy for the sixth time, this would be the one.

The way to go is to get the regular deluxe 2CD (23.99 on Amazon), great. The old album will sound better, if it's anything like the number they did on Sticky Fingers, and hey, there's the new stuff...even if it would've been nice to fill out the CD.

The video will be broadcast on television, and no doubt released on it's own in due time, or *cough cough* on torrent sites the next day.

Problem solved, unless you're an obsessive collector, in which case you got yerself into this mess Wink

Exactly. A regular deluxe will work just fine for me. No super duper extra special deluxe needed. War horses couldn't drag me away
