Emotional Rescue. I remember Some Girls when it was new but I think I waited a little while to buy it.

Me too

Exile

Not sure if it was on the day of release but I bought Exile On Main Street in mid-May 1972. The beauty is that it burnt slowly with its secrets being released gradually over the years. There is still a lot of magic to be found on that album.

Steel Wheels.

The answer should be Dirty Work, but now that I think of it, in the pre-internet age I didn't have a clue of when an album would be released. The first Stones album that I am sure I got on the actual release date was Bigger Bang.

Not 100 percent sure but pretty certain:

Voodoo Lounge

&

Stripped

still have them

Or maybe Steel Wheels can't remember ...

I remember the release date was all over the place when they released Sticky Fingers ...radio, music magazines

Emotional Rescue, 20th of June 1980 if I am not wrong.

For Black&Blue and Love You Live, I bought them few weeks later, cause I had to find the money,

I bought Some Girls in London in July 1978, because it was cheaper than in Paris.

Some Girls, after my first live concert in June 1978 ... if my memory does not fail me

Mine was undercover also - then every album after that....

I Know... its only rock n roll..

Voodoo Lounge. I remember it very well. I think I missed Flashpoint by a few weeks or so, and Steel Wheels maybe by a month. For Voodoo Lounge everything lined up perfectly. But it all really started for me with Steel Wheels.

I can't recall if I ever got a record on it's release day. I didn't get A BIGGER BANG until 2 or 3 months after it came out (I was kind of busy).

If I did get one on release day I might've gotten STEEL WHEELS at a Wherehouse Records in Lansing, MI but I'm quite confident I got BRIDGES TO BABYLON on release day (the version with the silly slip case) at Tower Records in New Orleans.
