We close another week of reissue news with a trio of tidbits regarding next week's Exile on Main St. reissue from The Rolling Stones and UMe.
First up, you may already know that Stones in Exile, a new documentary which will be excerpted on the DVD accompanying the super-deluxe Exile set (including the double-disc reissue, the album on vinyl and a collectible book), will be released in full on June 22. A bow to Pause & Play for the date notification.
Second of all, message boards have been abuzz about the fact that Target will be selling the Exile bonus disc on its own. We can wholeheartedly confirm this is happening; it'll retail for $9.99 and be packaged as one of those Rarities Editions (finally, they are paying off!). There will also be some sort of silly bundle involving a t-shirt or something too; check your weekly ad this Sunday for details.
Finally, let's kick off the weekend with a listening party of all the Exile performances from the past week on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, plus some bonus clips from some of The Stones themselves. Check 'em out after the jump!

I can't even sleep knowing this is around the corner. This was my favorite of all albums the year it came out. "Tumbing Dice" STILL rules!
Too bad you don't live in Tampa, FL. The local indie store put all 4 versions out for sale on Friday night..sweet!
My indie store in NJ had 'em Thursday, but I was so backlogged with other reissues that I had to save it for this week.
I was all excited about this, until I read Greg Kot's review (and interviews with Jagger and Richards) about how most of the bonus tracks have recent overdubs done by Jagger and Don Was. Guitar, harmonica, and even new vocals?? Ugh... WHY? Apparently Keith really didn't have much to do with this, and this was Mick deciding to make these "new" tracks. I'm sure there's still good stuff here, but this kind of tinkering pretty much kills my intrest in this.
Oh, and I should add all this info came from the Chicago Tribune. Here's a (messy) link:
