Sprawling, sweaty and gloriously messy, Exile On Main Street is The Rolling Stones at their most untamed, here on a single CD edition of the 2010 remaster. All eighteen songs of the original double album sit together in one place.

Released in 1972, Exile was recorded partly in the basement of a rented villa in the south of France, where the band had decamped as tax exiles. The sessions were famously chaotic, and that haze seeps into every groove. Critics were divided at first, but the album has since been recognised as one of rock's great achievements.

Producer Jimmy Miller helped shape a sound that blends rock and roll, blues, country and gospel into one murky, irresistible stew. Rocks Off kicks things off with a horn-blasted stagger, and Tumbling Dice rolls along on a loose, soulful groove that has been a live staple ever since. Keith Richards takes the lead on Happy, all ragged charm, while Shine A Light builds into a gospel-tinged plea.

The joy of Exile lies in its corners: barroom piano, shambling acoustic numbers and buried vocals that reward close listening.

Exile trades polish for mood, and it keeps giving with every play. Few albums capture a band so completely in its element.
