May 12, 1972 –
Although initially receiving mixed reviews, the Rolling Stones released one of Rock’s greatest double albums, Exile on Main St., on this date.
Mick Jagger once complained though, the album was not his favorite Rolling Stones albums. He described it as sounding “lousy” with “no concerted effort of intention“, adding “at the time, Jimmy Miller was not functioning properly. I had to finish the whole record myself, because otherwise there were just these drunks and junkies.“
