Everyone has their "Exile" favorites and mine are "Loving Cup" and "All Down the Line." Great album for sure. I enjoyed your backstory behind its making and really like your playlist choices. I have never seen "Frenzy" but will add that to the list for a nice rainy Friday night activity.
I primarily listened to the Stones’ singles—Hot Rocks was regularly on my turntable—so I didn’t listen to this until several years ago. I agree it’s a fantastic album and one I listen to as a whole (not as part of a playlist). The details on its recording are fascinating, so thanks for sharing!
Hot Rocks was an absolute favourite of mine. I'm not sure when I first really heard this album - certainly sometime in college - but it's stayed with me ever since. Really glad you liked the article!
Fascinating stuff, Bryan. I've never listened to that album, but now I will. Thanks for the link. The highest rate of tax was, in fact, 98%. I think it had the effect of making it profitable to relocate abroad, squirrel money away abroad, and lining the coffers of tax specialists. I doubt that it led to much more money in government vaults.
Glad you like it - it's a great album and worth your time if you have any interest in their music. And yes - higher taxes will never be paid by anyone who should pay them. As long as there's any loophole, advantage will be taken.

My personal favourites are 'Rocks Off' and 'Let it Loose' - but, as one might say: they're all good!
`'Exile' is about casualties, and partying in the face of them. The party is obvious. The casualties are inevitable.'' Lester Bang, Creem, 1973
Absolutely.
