Considered as one of the greatest albums in Rock 'n' Roll history and easily one of the most defining of the Stones' catalogue. On its intial release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and gueat artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. The original 18-track double-album was recorded in various stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios in London, Keith Richard's mansion Nellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where the literal Main Street influenced the album title. The unusual circumstances surrounding the recording process greatly affected the album's outcome which was highly reflective and influenced by the sociopolitical turbulence that marked the late '60s and early '70s.
