MUSIC NEWS - Eagle Vision reminds us that they've released Stones In Exile, a hour long documentary look at the recording of what many rock historians call the greatest album in history: 1972's Exile on Main Street , on dvd. The release also includes 90 minutes of additional, behind-the-scenes bonus footage.
There's over the years, a mountain of debate, conjecture, written words and mythologizing about this classic Stones album (recently re-released, btw). The subject of books, of rumors, of innuendo, of stories that have only added to the Stones' legend. Now, you can take a step back in time to the spring of 1971 and enter the villa called Nellcote at Villefranche-sur-Mer in the South of France where Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor created and recorded this most classic of albums in the most chaotic of circumstances.
The footage is extraordinary; with interviews with all five Stones as well as sections of the long-dormant notorious Cocksucker Blues movie, which every fan has talked about, wondered about, but few have actually seen. Other key cinematic moments have Mick and Charlie returning to Olympic Studios where some of the early Exile work was laid down, as well as Mick's country estate, Stargroves.
Along on the ride, is a star-studded list of contributors who share some of their most intimate remembrances: Martin Scorsese, Anita Pallenberg, producer Jimmy Miller, engineer Andy Johns, photographer Dominique Tarlé, legendary sax man Bobby Keys and many others.
