"Happy" – 3:04 Features Richards on lead vocal and bass and producer Jimmy Miller on drums

"Ventilator Blues" (Jagger, Richards, Mick Taylor) – 3:24
"I Just Want to See His Face" – 2:52 Features Bill Plummer on upright bass and Richards on piano
"Let It Loose" – 5:17 Features Dr. John among others on backing vocals. Recordings started at Stargroves, early 1970.
"All Down the Line" – 3:49 Features Bill Plummer on upright bass and Bill Wyman on electric bass. Recorded at Stargroves, spring 1970, and Sunset Sound, early 1972
"Stop Breaking Down" (Robert Johnson) – 4:34 Features Jagger on rhythm guitar
"Shine a Light" – 4:14 Features Miller on drums and Billy Preston on organ. An early version was recorded in Spring 1970, and released in 1970, by Leon Russell as "Get a Line on You," together with Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor and Ringo Starr.
"Soul Survivor" – 3:49 Features Richards on bass. Recorded in LA, early 1972
My vote? The Stones eclipsed the 2 year earlier Beatles release by some margin as Let it be just sounds old and passe now. Exile is as fresh as ever and arguably the Stones best ever album
