New reissue of Exile on Main Street

There are some great songs on "Exiles," but I always thought it was an uneven record.
My personal favorites are "Beggar's Banquet" and "Let It Bleed," followed up by "Sticky Fingers." Oh, and "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out." I wore that last one out a couple of times.
Still, I'm going to order the new "Exiles" vinyl. I've got a reissue on heavy vinyl that sounds pretty bright.

Jdoris, I agree "Exiles" is not the beginning of alt.country, but I think Tweedy & Farrar would agree it goes back to at least Gram Parsons, with The Byrds, "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," then The Flying Burrito Brothers (especially The Gilded Palace of Sin) and his solo stuff. Parsons "discovered" Emmylou Harris (which she still acknowledges)and she sings on his "solo" album, "Grievous Angel."

A dissent . . . compared the new reissue CD my friend brought over to my earlier Greg Calbi mastered CD (Rolling Stones Records) and found the older CD much better. The new reissue is uncomfortably bright on the top end, the older is much better . . . musical, listenable, natural, but rockin'. Both my friend, who I believe has a great ear, and I agreed . . . not even close! We were shocked when we put on the Calbi CD, the difference was so apparent and vast. Go figure!
BUT, my 1994 Bob Ludwig mastered Virgin vinyl reissue is far superior to both.
Reading the comments here, I think I'll pass on the new vinyl.
