It took you a while...
I wanted to make sure they weren't some 'flash in the pan' bubble gum band before I fully committed.

Rocks off - the first cut on the first album I bought when I was 7 years old in 1972. Imagine my moms shock when I ran around the house singing THAT!
The question is, did you turn her on to the Stones? - she must have been the same age or thereabouts as the band anyway..........
Actually, she turned me onto Elvis Presley who in turn, like the Stones, opened up a whole world of blues , country & R&B by their choice of cover tunes.
Ok, cheers, that's good mothering to be sure but lol, I'm still intrigued, how does a 7 year old end up with his hands on / buying Exile?
I joined the Columbia house record club. They would send you records for cheap if you sent in the post card that accompanied their ad in various magazines. They would continue to send the records until you managed to stop them. The first 10 or so were practically give aways but the price went way up after that. Many 7 year olds got caught in the Columbia house trap I suspect. I selected Exile having no idea who the stones were.
I know, we had a similar thing in the UK in the 70s, my mother freaked when the bill came......(mine were Hawkwind, Alice Cooper etc, at that time....
Serendipity at it's finest, ex.............

Opening riff of Can't You Hear Me Knocking. The first time i heard it i kept stopping it as the song hit the chorus and replaying from the beginning - maybe 20 times in a row. I was forever hooked.

Heartbreaker. Along with 100 Years Ago and Angie. But it was really Heartbreaker. I was only 13 years old and had never heard anything like that. That and looking at the album cover was real cool.

When I was 10 years old, I won a little red AM transistor radio when I guessed the number of jelly beans in a jar at the school fair. My little brother was really pissed off because he entered a lot of guesses, and I entered just one. So Mom had to buy another little red AM transistor radio like mine to keep him happy.
Every Sunday night, I listened to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 on my little red radio. Then during the week I'd take my lawn mowing money and buy 45s of the songs I liked. I remember hearing Honky Tonk Woman and Brown Sugar on my radio, or riding in the car with Dad and Mom. But I guess my musical taste had not evolved, or I was too young, because I knew of The Rolling Stones but I wasn't interested.
In the summer of 1972 I turned 13 years old. I heard Tumbling Dice on the radio and it just clicked. Maybe it was hormones or puberty or something. I bought the 45 with the die-cut tongue sleeve. I wasn't ready to buy full LPs yet.
From that point forward I was a Stones fan. I bought every LP on the week of its release beginning with Goats Head Soup. And I still do.
