Was the one posted on 12/31 the Metamorphosis version or the soundtrack version? Trying to figure out which one I need to hunt down to have the complete set. Many thanks.

This one stood on the shoulders of what proceeded in their canon. What followed Exile was a slow and worthy decline. I for one have found memories of Goat's Head Soup, It's Only Rock and Roll, and Black and Blue but clearly the Dark Angel that hovered over Exile was long gone. (I even bought into the hype at the time of Some Girls being a return to form. Not an easy album to listen to now. And as for the rest of 'em that followed: Fuggitaboutit.) My favorite moments on Exile: Turn It Loose and Rocks Off. What kind of idiotic chutzpah would it take to create a Rocks Off and make a classic out of it? Brilliant. The blues work outs--I Just Want to See His Face, Shake Your Hips, etc--was the band trying to prove that they could still rock the blues as well as anyone, despite the bubblegum hit legacy. And they were probably right. Perhaps the ultimate redundant Stones comment, but: Exile was the peak of a long climb the Stones made to produce an album of such power.

"I Just Want To See His Face" is definitely the Exile-iest song on Exile, too: so swampy, muddy and grungy that you can barely identify the band, who sound like they're channeling some kind of Pentacostal cough syrup ritual. I actually first acquired this album through the Columbia Record Club, if you can believe that. Blew my little high-school mind, for sure.

I got wind of this album around the time when Pussy Galore released their own version. I haven't listened to PG's version much but through the miracle of the Internet I see that it's still around (http://www.xtrmntr.com/pg/exile/). For anyone that hasn't listened to the Stones version of the album much 'Loving Cup', 'Torn and Frayed', and 'Let It Loose' are incredible songs. Can’t say enough good things about this album.

In fact I would call it perfect -- some songs/sides are stronger than others but thats beside the point. The album as a whole is a great experience, perfectly sequenced and barely a dip anywhere (the Robert Johnson cover I would probably skip) Incidently you mentioned the romantic decadent image the album and the recording sessions have attained. I kind of fell for that image aswell and was a little disappointed to read that Bobby Whitlock recorded his organ part for that song later on in a studio in LA. Quite a bit of the album was recorded post-Exile. Ruins the image maybe, but not the music.
