By Blurt Staff

Eagle Rock Entertainment just announced its plans for a pair of Rolling Stones DVDS this year. The first of the releases Stones In Exile is the story of the making of the classic album Exile On Main Street, which was released in 1972 as a double LP and is considered by many to be their masterpiece.  This title is due to be released in June with substantial bonus material and follows the broadcast of the main show by the BBC in late May, and the deluxe reissue of the album at the same time.
 

The second of the releases is Ladies And Gentlemen...The Rolling Stones, the legendary Rolling Stones concert film from 1972.  Fully restored from the original film, it will be released nationally in cinemas and then receive its first ever authorized DVD release. (Collectors have long coveted the film, which has been bootleg numerous times over the years, most definitely on the 2006 Top Of The Line/4 Reel DVD featuring both full screen and widescreen versions, plus outtakes and a Dick Cavett show appearance from '72.) The title will also be released in high definition on Blu-ray in the Autumn of 2010.
 

The Rolling Stones line-up featured on both Stones In Exile and Ladies And Gentlemen... The Rolling Stones is the definitive live incarnation of the band: Mick Jagger - vocals; Keith Richards - guitars; Bill Wyman - bass; Charlie Watts - drums; Mick Taylor - guitars.
