There was actually a scratch on the encoded side of the disc that caused a hiccup on playing it. But I hit it up with some Windex and a little rubbing and now it plays just fine. As to the music, everyone has an opinion. Back in my vinyl days, I had this 2-LP set but rarely played it. I am not a super Stones fan, but I did like and play Hot Rocks (early best-of collection) and Sticky Fingers. I had never really gotten into Exile when I had the vinyl, perhaps because the songs were so short, perhaps. (Sounds weir, I know.) Now I do most of most of my listening in my car, which I just upgraded to near-audiophile levels, and I am enjoying it a lot. It's nice that you don't have to turn over two records in order to hear a bunch of 3-minute songs. It seems to work better for me as a collection that all shares the same shambolic, slightly dirty, country vibe. I don't know if it's the greatest rock album ever made (I'm pretty sure it's not my choice), but for $6.50, I'm definitely glad I've added it to my music collection.Read full review

Personally, I think it’s the greatest complete album ever recorded, top to bottom. The Stones were in the midst of their uber creative 5 album run, and this one is loaded. Highly recommended!

I've had several versions of this on CD, including an exceedingly bright Japanese SHM CD. To my ears, this Virgin release is by far the most natural sounding. Yes-- it's out of print and therefore expensive but if you're a fan of this album and can afford it, don't hesitate.

It's hard to say which of the Rolling Stones albums is the best, but this has to one of them. I think every tune has been on the radio, top of the charts. If you've got a Stones collection at all, this one has to be in it.

It took me a long time to discover this classic album. This remastered version sounds great and doesn't suffer from modern compression that's found in so many digital files today.
