Exile was postponed to May 26.
From NME May 13, 1972:
Stones album delay
THE ROLLING STONES' new album -Exile On Main Street
will not now be available for another two weeks. Revised release date is
now May 26, instead of May 12 as originally planned. Reason for the
postponement is to ensure simultaneous release throughout the world.

I think you did. I came on board in '76 with Black and Blue but quickly learned to appreciate Exile. I have bought more copies of it than any other album.
Just one thing Thommie - what the heck does periphrastic mean? I taught English for years but you've stumped me there. It sounds a little like Blackadder the Third to me

Forgive my barging in. It means something indirect or circumlocutory.I'm not sure quite how it applies to Exile but that may well be because of my one-dimensional mind...

Today we (at least I am) are listening to Exile on Main Street in its entirety. Exactly 50 years after the official release date 12 May 1972.
No matter if it’s your favorite Stones album or not, it has an exceptional position. No other Stones album is that mythical, periphrastic and surrounded by history, stories and opinions than Exile.
Did I say it's my favorite album...?
And have Bob Clearmountain remix the best show from 1972 like El MocamboQuote
