Just read in "According to The Rolling Stones" - an alarming Jagger-quote: "I'd love to remix Exile on Main Street" (etc). Don't, please. The atmosphere on the album is unique - what may seem like a "garage mix" som some - makes it total geniuos - full of soul - to others. If you have spare time, Mick, write new material in stead. Exile is, in my opinion, the best rock album ever!

Agree.

If Francis Ford Coppola can play with the editing of the Godfather films, I guess Mick Jagger can issue a "director's cut" of Exile if he wants.

Hell, I'd love to hear it. The original mix will always be around, so why _wouldn't_ you want to hear Mick's alternative vision of what Exile could/should sound like? It might stink, it might be great, but it is, after all, his music too.

Might be fun to hear what the other half of the instruments on it were playing

...but not so much fun as all these years spent trying to figure out what they were playing !

;^)

i'd shot him.

Yeah while the original record will always be there why not to hear the remix?

I agree.

He wasn't actually planning on doing it, I hope. I love the sound of songs like Rocks Off.. very good..

would you ask to Da Vinci to repaint the Gioconda?

Don't mess with the masterpiece! Paul did it with Let it be. Why? The album is an album coloured by the time it was made. Let's keep it that way.

We have plenty of different outtakes from bootlegs and live recordings.

no, but it would be interesting to hear what it would sound like.

Simply because he always had said that he had intended to release it without the choir/strings arrangements and that Phil Spector had added the syrupy arrangements. The original recording which is amazing had circulated for a long time on bootlegs. I prefer 'The long and winding road' in the original version, without strings and choirs. It's an incredibly majestic song.

So why should Mick not remix EXILE? It would be interesting to hear both records. After all you do not have to buy the new version if you regard the old one as the one and only recording.

As long as they keep around the original version I'm ok with it.
But waht if they do something like they did with the Star Wars movies?
Now you can't find around anymore the original versions.
Actually, they will be available for just 3 months around Xmas on dvd.

It's a briljant album. Still would like to here actually ALL the instruments in the songs.... Lots is still buried in the fuzzy mix. Remix exile? Go for it.

Release a double cd edition with both new and original mix.

Only thing I would like to get is the small song they had made for the radio for advertising exile. I still have it in my head but kind of difficult to get it from there to a CD.....

At least Paul had an excuse. Let it Be was a mess as originally released, although it is the official version. On the other hand, Exile is perfect. I am against a remix. I suspect that Mick would bring the vocals to the front of the mix.

Absolutely - they needed Spector to make it commercialy viable.

Goeorge Harrison wanted to remix, 'All things must pass' - thank God (Buddah, Moses or Sri Krishna) he never did.

You probably mean the New Muscal Express Flexi disc, Gricha?

remixing;
I dread the thought, Mick could say:
"ooh, my singing sounds bad here. I think i'll do that again, right now."

who could be a sophisticated sound-engineer to do that sort of a job?

how about "remixing" ABB by adding some better songs instead? Exile does not need to be @#$%& with!

Careful Micky Boy...It might just grind ya down....





ROCKMAN

Some of the different vinyl masterings and pressings of Exile sound almost as different as re-mixes !

clapton just re released his first album as a two disc set. the first disc is produced by tom dowd and that is the one that the public got. the second disc was produced by delaney bramlett and is said to be better that the dowd version. there are also out takes on both discs. something like that could be interesting...

I say do it......do it.........do it till your satisfied..............more music............bring it on Mick!!

Let ME remix it! I promise to not only give the greatest mix of the songs without ruining them, but I'll bring in Ludacris on Casino Boogie, some Techno on Stop Breakin Down, and Britney Spears will harmonize with Keith on Happy. I promise you'll all dig it.

-Drake

yeah not bad drake. not bad!

Mick Jagger can do whatever he wants to exile - even burn it - if keith won't shoot him first.
But after that struggle they both could sit down on the controlls and deliver
whatever they want.
Some of you fans are talking if you were the owners of that album.
You' re not. Respect the artists.
That is important in this f§$$$$...age of copying everything and everybody.

"when I travel coast to coast
you' re the hook I miss the most
feel on, baby"

Mick is only joking - even he has'n't a clue how the 'Stones' managed to create
a 16 track song masterpiece in a basement in France.

THAT'S A BRILLIANT IDEA, MICK!!!

I HOPE U REMIX DAT SHIT!!! HEHE

The mixing on Exile is horrible (The CD AND the LP AND the MC). A remix would be good. It would be nice to have a cleaner version than the one that's already out, and then we'd have the choice of selecting one of the two too...

JumpingKentFlash

The way I see it - Exile is Keith's album, made on his property. If MJ wants to f*?k around wit that one - it's probably the end of the Stones. Keith won't tollerate it. He loves Exile. He's proud of having made it, at a time when he was in deep shit drugwise... (While I was on heroin, I learned to ski, and I made Exile!") And a lot of the truest fans hold it as their favourite Stones album. If one should think of re-mixing a Stones album - I'd choose one of the not so ... brilliant 80's albums. Not a masterpiece like Exile. I hope The Ghost of Nellcôte comes out to say: Get off my cloud!
