The Rolling Stones at Villa Nellcôte

Often referred to as one of the greatest rock records ever made, Exile on Main St. is a staple in any music lover’s collection. The stories & myths behind the creation of this album in the dungeon of a basement at Villa Nellcôte in the south of France are part of Rock N’ Roll folklore, and are captured beautifully in Dominique Tarlé’s black & white pictures, the photographs enhance the already electrifying experience.“… I realised that pictures are far more important than the photographers themselves... the whole of the game was to remain invisible and to have the least possible impact on what was going on around me.” -Dominque Tarlé, 1971

Richards said it looked like it was decorated for 'bloody Marie Antoinette'
