Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A cornerstone of the classic-rock canon, Exile On Main Street is one of the few Stones albums it's possible to recommend unreservedly, so it's a relief to report that its seamy glamour remains undiluted by the additional 10 outtakes included with this reissue.
Sure, Keith's vocal on the alternative take of "Soul Survivor" is hardly the most compelling, and Mick's vocal leer on the piano blues "I'm Not Signifying" verges on self-parodic, but tracks such as the gospel-rocker "Pass The Wine" and "So Divine", with its Arabic-flavoured guitar motif recalling "Paint It Black", wouldn't disgrace Exile itself. Elsewhere, "Good Time Woman" is an early take of what became "Tumbling Dice", while the short instrumental "Title 5" sounds like a jam on the theme of The Doors' "LA Woman".
