THE ROLLING STONES\u2019 ICONIC EXILE ON MAIN STREET TO BE RELEASED WITH NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD TRACKS\r
\r
Album Launch to Coincide With New Documentary \u201cStones In Exile\u201d\r
\r
Universal Music Group is pleased to announce the re-release of The Rolling Stones\u2019 album Exile on Main Street with an additional 10 never-before-heard tracks. Regarded as one of the greatest albums in rock \u2018n\u2019 roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones\u2019 catalogue, Exile will be available May 17, 2010, in the U.K. and May 18, 2010, in the US. \r
\r
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 \u201cPlundered My Soul,\u201d \u201cDancing in the Light,\u201d \u201cFollowing the River\u201d and \u201cPass The Wine\u201d have undergone a unique evolution, while staying true to the essence of the 1972 album. Alternate versions of \u201cSoul Survivor\u201d and \u201cLoving Cup\u201d also are a part of the Exile bonus materials.\r
\r
As a complement to the release of Exile on Main Street, a documentary, \u201cStones in Exile,\u201d 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, \u201cStones in Exile\u201d offers an uncommon glimpse into the lives of the band as they created one of the greatest albums of all time.\r
\r
The original 18-track double-album was recorded in various stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios in London, Keith Richard\u2019s mansion Nellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where the literal \u201cMain Street\u201d influenced the album title. These atypical circumstances surrounding the recording process greatly affected the album\u2019s 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, \u201cmore is more\u201d 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. \r
\r
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. \r
\r
\u201cThe album\u2019s riveting portrait of artists pushed \u2013 by the times, by themselves \u2013 to the very limits of their creativity has provided inspiration to every musical generation that has come along since Exile was released in 1972,\u201d said author Anthony DeCurtis. \u201cEvery song on Exile on Main Street is elevated by its relationship to the music that comes before and after it. The album\u2019s irresistible power is unlikely to diminish any time soon.\u201d \r
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\u2026 the Rolling Stones and Stones in Exile, and a 50-page collector\u2019s book with photos from the Exile era.
