My guess is that the 10 "new" songs will sound contemporary.

it´s not even their best record, why do ppl continue to say that?
Well it is their best album, but I guess your opinion is as valid as mine. I certainly think this is exciting news. My guess is that the 10 "new" songs will sound contemporary. There will be the mother of all debates when it arrives. I predict a 20 page thread. Cant wait!
if it was the best album why do they hardly ever play any songs from exile for the last 30 years. not on the radio and not at concerts.
maybe because it is REALLY their best album, and not their most radio-idiot-friendly album. In other words - we know it is the best.

It is their best album because it is the ultimate expression of everything the Stones do best. The fact that it doesn't contain a Brown Sugar or a JJF doesn't change that.

good post tatters. I suspect the unreleased songs will sound current. In some ways it could be a new Tattoo You. I am reserving judgement, but my instincts tell me this will be great. Perhaps, it shouldn't be tagged on to an Exile rerelease. Maybe they should just have done it anyway.

a universal standard to which everyone agrees? i don't think so...at some point it's someone imposing their own preference.
so give me an example of a better/worse or best/worse that would be universally agreed upon. i'm waiting....

This is the official EXILE press release from UNIVERSAL MUSIC
THE ROLLING STONES’ ICONIC
EXILE ON MAIN STREET
TO BE RELEASED
WITH NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD TRACKS
Album Launch to Coincide With New Documentary “Stones In Exile”
New York - February 25, 2010 – Universal Music Group is pleased to announce the re-release of The Rolling Stones’ album Exile on Main Street with an additional 10 never-before-heard tracks. Regarded as one of the greatest albums in rock ‘n’ roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones’ catalogue, Exile will be available May 17, 2010, in the U.K. and May 18, 2010, in the US.
Upon its release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. This new compilation features 10 tracks originally recorded during the Exile era and only recently discovered while working on the reissue project. The unearthed tracks which include such titles as “Plundered My Soul,” “Dancing in the Light,” “Following the River” and “Pass The Wine” have undergone a unique evolution, while staying true to the essence of the 1972 album. Alternate versions of “Soul Survivor” and “Loving Cup” also are a part of the Exile bonus materials.
As a complement to the release of Exile on Main Street, a documentary, “Stones in Exile,” has just been completed for fans to view on US Network television and through BBC Worldwide internationally. The documentary features rare, never-before-seen archival film, photos and interviews as well as new conversations with the band and the artists they influence. Produced by Oscar -winning filmmaker John Battsek and directed by Stephen Kijak, who is known for award-winning work on Cinemania, and Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, “Stones in Exile” offers an uncommon glimpse into the lives of the band as they created one of the greatest albums of all time.
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. These atypical 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. The Stones nixed the influences of a flower-child era and directed their creative process with the edgier, excessive, “more is more” approach of the `70s. Exile reveals a sprawling mix of genres with undertones of blues, country, R&B and gospel mixed with lyrics that fervently demand for release and liberation.
The album pulled together an electric array of talent including Dr. John, the late Billy Preston and pianist Nicky Hopkins. Guitarist Mick Taylor, who replaced Brian Jones in the band shortly before Jones died in 1969, is a magnificent blues player who brought an intensity and elegance to these epic tracks. At times, these musicians and others lived on the recording studio premises with the band creating an extremely open and creative collaboration for the album.
“The album’s riveting portrait of artists pushed – by the times, by themselves – to the very limits of their creativity has provided inspiration to every musical generation that has come along since Exile was released in 1972,” said author Anthony DeCurtis. “Every song on Exile on Main Street is elevated by its relationship to the music that comes before and after it. The album’s irresistible power is unlikely to diminish any time soon.”
Exile on Main Street will be available in two CD formats: the original 18 track release; a deluxe CD edition with the 10 special bonus tracks; and a super deluxe package that also includes vinyl, a 30-minute documentary DVD with footage from @#$%& Blues, Ladies and Gentlemen… the Rolling Stones and Stones in Exile, and a 50-page collector’s book with photos from the Exile era. The 10 unreleased tracks were produced by Jimmy Miller, The Glimmer Twins and Don Was.

there is no need that everyone agrees !!!
would you argue that if someone pays 50 mio for a picasso that he is a fool to pay that much and he´d be better of with a painting from ronnie?

Not exactly. It DOES contain Tumbling Dice, a masterpiece like JJF and Brown Sugar.

The 2-CD Deluxe with ten previously unreleased tracks from the peak of their career is exciting news. Having to pay an additional $120 in order to get a DVD with only a few minutes of concert footage from the peak of their career is a legitimate cause for complaining. The Deluxe is a good value. The Super Deluxe is not.

Did Keith and Mick T play on this? Was Mick T only there for the doco?
Yes they both play on the "new" recordings and were both interviewed for the docu DVD too.

you should have told me from the start you never passed the exam to leave elementary school.
exile is the best record ever for who? 200 people on iorr. not even that. it´s maybe 50% here on iorr who think so. so it´s only 100 people.
compare that to 6 000 000 000 people in the world who couldn´t name one song from it. or maybe 5 990 000 000 who haven´t even heard of the album, but know and love jjf, angie, satisfaction, start me up, brown sugar.
but how would those songs even be compared to other peoples music regarding good, better, best.
but i suppose those 100 iorr´s here are the only wise people on this planet and the rest of the 6 000 000 000 in the world just don´t have any clue.

Then how many people know Mozart's string quintet K 516? Only a few, compared with those who know EKN. How many people on IORR know that string quintet? I guess a handful at most. But there's not any doubt that K 516 is a far more important masterpiece than K 525, which has been written to make money, to entertain the aristocracy, to give them music to dance on. But only very few people could 'understand' that string quintet at that time, so Mozart didn't earn a dime by writing it and it wasn't played then. Now it's recognized as one of the very best pieces of chambermusic ever.

I love the sound of this, but am glad Mick has added vocals. It doesn't sound like a whole song here and needs some finishing touches imo. I am absolutely ecstatic about this release and think we are all going to be very happy ....geesh, all the complaints!

So I guess since everyone on the planet has heard of Thriller, it must be the best album of all time? Among people who make their living writing about rock music, EOMS is widely regarded as the best Stones album, and generally considered to be one of the 10 best albums ever made by anyone.
