On this day in 1972 the Rolling Stones released what some herald as their best work ever - the Exile on Main St. double album!

This record produced tracks such as Rocks Off, Happy, Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia and many more classics! Is this one of your favourite Stones albums? | The Rolling Stones
