Rolling Stones: Exile on Main St.      (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  August 18, 2013

Finally I have the definitive version of "Exile On Main St.". This is a very dense recording. It's packed with all kinds of ear candy which until the anniversary editon came across as somewhat mushy.

  September 20, 2012

As excellent an album as it it, technically "Sticky Fingers" is rife with problems.

Historically, this distortion has been on all releases of the album. The high ... more
