First off, I can't help but want to quote all of you and agree "yep, yes, you're sure right about that, oh yeah helluva tune," but I'll just quote resotele for now: "so : one song ? No. but the riffs, the energy, the SEX..."
How about the first time any of you heard Stray Cat Blues? When the piano comes in, and the guitar really gets nasty for a moment, and you're a teen boy? I would spin that over and over

Beggars Banquet was my first stones album in '87 and Stray Cat Blus the track. Couldn't get enough after that.

July 17, 1963.
Interesting trivial factoid for this date:
The number-one hit song in the U.S. on the day of my birth was Surf City by Jan and Dean.
It all makes sense...I love Surf Music!

and the 12th july is very important in stonesworld, as we all know : [www.setlist.fm]
(and the year of my birth brought the world the stratocaster and rock around the clock ...)
I think I'm getting old

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.............
I remember so well my mother picking me up from school with my albums ,that had arrived that day, in the car. She was remarkably calm & good natured about it once she saw my excitement. I remember an Eric Clapton album too.
