The Stones - more Exile

A bit more from their best album. My neighbor upstairs gave me a bit of history on the recording of album that I didn't know. Mick Jagger grew up going to the Riviera with his family as a kid and had settled in Villefranche-sur-mer when the British wealth taxes went through the roof back in the day. The rest of the band all came around and rented villas in the area and they recorded the album in the basement of Jagger's (I think) humble abode. Listening to the album, the Riviera is about the last place you would imagine as the location. For some reason I always thought they did the recording in the US but no, it was the south of France.
