I waited a long ass time to get my original LP copy of this album. Finally found it at my favorite little record store. I guy had brought in a ton of records that were in impecable condition...except for the spines! He had them sitting near a wall and his cat went to town on all his albums, scratching them up and stuff. Because of the spine damage it was super cheap, so it was really a win for me. Most of the Rolling Stones albums I've picked up were from that guy so they all have matching spine damage. It's cute, really.
Beggars Banquet and Exile on Main Street are the two Stones albums that have really stood out to me. I've been a little harsher on Exile, though, because it is praised so much. When I listened to it, though, it blew me away. I listened to it three times in the 24 hour period after I bought it.
Also I listened to Liz Phair's "Exile in Guyville" before I listened to "Exile on Main Street".
