Well Jon Spencer "wanted" to be Sonic Youth at one point. SY talked of doing a cover version of the Beatles' White Album but Jon's band Pussy Galore did a full release of the Stones' Exile On Main St. (recorded in 3 days).
It was a limited cassette only release (250 copies I think).

You're correct. Exile on Main St. was first released as a cassette then a very limited CD run. I had the CD at one point (long, long time ago).
