When the digitally remastered version of The Rolling Stones’ 1972 album Exile on Main Street hits stores this Tuesday, May 18, it will include not just the original songs but also an extra 10 previously unreleased tracks. Plus, starting June 22, fans can nab a copy of a documentary, Stones in Exile, released via Eagle Rock Entertainment. The film, directed by Stephen Kijak, includes footage of the recording of the epic album in both France and L.A. Stones Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts attended a viewing of the movie Tuesday at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The 90-minute film will also be aired tonight on NBC’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. The Rolling Stones’s Exile On Main Street is an album so shrouded in myth it practically defines the bohemian, decadent, counter-culture appeal of Seventies rock ’n’ roll. It is wild, electric music played by narcotic demigods with one foot in the 20th century and the other in some ancient, mystic swamp of steamy, primal passion. From the freak show photo montage on the original gatefold cover to the four sides of black vinyl crammed with a weird concoction of ragged r&b, country, soul and gospel, this was a voodoo jam from a band of outlaw rockers on the run. The myth goes something like this: It was 1971. The greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world were forced into exile, chased away from Britain by Labour’s 93 per cent tax on the rich (and the revelation that their accountants hadn’t been paying it). Desperate, they decamped to the south of France, where the heroin-addicted Keith Richards set up a studio in the basement of the rented Villa Nellcote.

Richards and Mick Jagger weren’t getting on. Jagger was often absent, flitting to Paris with new bride Bianca (they married in May 1971 in Saint Tropez) and their jetset friends. Richards was operating on his own timescale, missing sessions for days on end in smack-addled stupors, or keeping the band jamming through the wee hours while he relentlessly worked over two chords. Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman dug deep into a well of patience and sent emissaries across the Channel to stock up on PG Tips and HP sauce. Baby-faced guitarist Mick Taylor slid into heroin addiction and alcoholism. The power supply was hot-wired from the national grid. The basement perspired dampness so instruments were constantly going out of tune. Jam sessions went on for days, with hundreds of takes of rambling songs that were never finished. It ended with a drug bust and Richards was banned from France for two years. But, miraculously, when the Stones decamped to Los Angeles to listen back to the tapes, they discovered they had captured something magical. Out of decadence and adversity came the Rolling Stones’ defining masterpiece. That is theRead full review
This is an excellent documentary of the Stones at their creative peak. It takes you back to when Rock bands actually mattered, with every release waited on with bated breath. It also goes behind the scenes of the making of the album with tons of interviews from the band, producer, friends and others. Fans such as Sheryl Crow, Jack White, Don Was, Liz Phair and Will i am also talk about their love of "Exile On Main St." All in all it is a great documentary about the making of a great album.
DVD is solid, it's exactly the documentary I was looking for. The Stone living in France after being exiled from England and having to make a record in order to return and pay their taxes. TONS of photos from the the era mixed with newer interviews of Stones reflecting on that era.
