If you can find a copy of this cassette-only release, by all means hold on to it for dear life, because the likelihood if it being re-released officially is slimmer than the chance of a band like Pussy Galore ever coming along again (that not necessarily being a bad thing depending on who you poll). While the group had covered the Jagger/Richards tune "Turd on the Run," The Rolling Stones got the ultimate send-up on "Exile on Main Street", a track-for-track retelling of their classic 1972 double album. The cassette-only release was almost drowning in hiss and noise, and several tunes were so deconstructed you couldn't tell what they were, as if the group was making fun of the myth surrounding The Stones' "Exile" as celebrating the music itself, but truly an adventure in listening.

Of course, you've got to like the messy, scabby, Pussy Galore sound if you're going to dig it. You've probably got to know Exile pretty well and not mind hearing it on the stereo in the background as Pussy Galore play, karaoke style.
I think it was 1986?
A concept LP like none other yet moments of beautiful interplay.
You can now find it on many formats but the cassette holds the true fidelity. It just gets better after years of mixing on the car floor whilst in the company of french fries and various inner auto slobbery.
