70s ROOTS-ROCK MASTERPIECE: The Rolling Stones – Exile On Main St. (1977 US 2LP Hybrid Reissue — Specialty Pressing / Presswell Plating / Atlantic Cut Side B)

Immerse yourself in the pinnacle of rock and roll with this authentic 1977 US double-vinyl reissue of The Rolling Stones’ landmark album, Exile On Main St. (Rolling Stones Records – COC 2-2900).

Recorded during the band's legendary sessions in the south of France and Los Angeles, this double LP captures the raw, swampy fusion of blues, soul, gospel, and country-rock across defining tracks like "Rocks Off," "Tumbling Dice," "Sweet Virginia," "Happy," and "Loving Cup".

This copy represents a fascinating cross-plant manufacturing hybrid connecting three titans of American vinyl production: Presswell, Atlantic Studios, and Specialty Records Corporation. Sides A, C, and D utilize metal mother plates prepared at Presswell (PR) derived directly from the original 1972 Artisan Sound Recorders sessions. Side B features a fresh, premier -A first-generation lacquer cut executed at Atlantic Studios (AT) in New York. Pressed onto Specialty’s quiet late-70s vinyl formulation, this pressing delivers a "best of both worlds" audiophile listening experience with unmatched dynamic clarity and dead-silent backgrounds.

    The original gatefold jacket is clean, sturdy, and well-preserved, exhibiting vivid artwork collage detail, solid seams, a fully legible spine, and only minor, light shelf/edge wear.

Why This 12" Single Belongs in Your Collection

Original 1972 first pressings of Exile on Main St. frequently suffer from high surface noise due to thin, recycled vinyl formulations. This 1977 Specialty hybrid pressing is prized by audiophiles as the ultimate "player copy". It combines the authentic analog warmth of the original 1972 Artisan metal parts with a pristine, punchy Atlantic Studios -A master on Side B, pressed on quiet late-70s vinyl. Graded Near Mint throughout, this double LP is an essential high-fidelity cornerstone for any serious Rolling Stones collection.
