Fans of the Rolling Stones certainly hold the band’s landmark 1972 album ‘Exile on Main Street’ close to their hearts — and with excellent reason, as that album yielded such classics as ‘Rocks Off,’ ‘Tumbling Dice,’ ‘Sweet Black Angel’ and ‘Loving Cup. ‘ So it’s not surprising that next month’s luxury box set reissue is something worth salivating over. Click here to watch their new video.

As TwentyFourBit reports, the set involves the film ‘C—sucker Blues’ on DVD, and a number of bonus tracks, including new versions of ‘Soul Survivor’ and ‘Loving Cup,’ as well as 4 never been heard cuts. This past weekend, the track ‘Plundered My Soul’ appeared as a single released in association with Record Store Day 2010 and is now making the Net rounds. And let us say, this is vintage Stones, the ones everyone has come to understand and love. The tune is a mid-tempo, bluesy affair that features backing singers joining Mick Jagger in similar fashion as they do on ‘Sweet Virginia,’ with Mick unveiling that “my indiscretions made a bad impression. ” For whomever he is talking about, he is saying “I was convinced that you wanted my lovin’ / but it is my heart that you stole.

” While it’s hard to credit, perhaps even back then, Jagger was the victim of the odd damaged heart, as he further laments, “you used to be a trick up my sleeve, my ace in the hole. ” We would like to know who precisely “pillaged ” Jagger’s soul, but if it’s any consolation, we are pleased it occurred, because this is a pleasant addition to what was a pristine album.

Here’s wishing that the other 3 songs, ‘Dancing in the Light,’ ‘Pass the Wine’ and ‘Following the Brook ‘ measure up to this one. And there’s more good news for purists : apart from one or two minor touch-ups, the tunes are allegedly left as they were initially recorded in the 1971-1972 sessions.
