DISCOGRAPHY: 

Got Live If You Want It! is an album of mostly live recordings by The Rolling Stones, released in December 1966 by London Records in the United States. The original plan for the recording was to capture a single live performance of the Stones live on 23 September 1966 at the Royal Albert Hall – their first concert in the UK in a year. Several minutes into the show, however, the band's lead singer Mick Jagger was swarmed onstage by screaming girls from the audience, temporarily stopping the performance – the event was captured on video and featured in a documentary film. 

Discouraged by the fan hysteria accompanying the band in concert at the time, the Stones' producer and manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, abandoned the original idea in response to this "collective hysteria generated by the group, especially among teenagers, which threatened to degenerate into rioting.” Instead, he selected 10 concert recordings from other sources alongside two older studio tracks, which were overdubbed with crowd noise to give the impression of an entirely live album – all of the tracks were credited on the original LP to the Royal Albert Hall performance. 

The LP sold well, reaching the No. 6 position on the American Billboard albums chart. Critics of the album note the poor audibility of the band amid the audience noise, but appreciate its historical and documentary value as well as the intense, high-energy quality of the performances. 

The recordings of "Under My Thumb", "Get Off of My Cloud", "The Last Time" and "19th Nervous Breakdown" were taken from the Stones' October 1966 live performance at City Hall in Newcastle. The Stones' concert at Colston Hall in Bristol in October 1966 produced the recordings of “Lady Jane,” “Not Fade Away,” “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?” and “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.” It’s uncertain which performance produced the recordings for “Time Is on My Side” and “I’m Alright,” but what is known is that they would have been recorded in March 1965 at either Regal Theatre in London, the Palace Theatre in Manchester or the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.

The first of the album's two studio recordings, “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,” was cut in May 1965 at RCA Studios in Hollywood. The second, “Fortune Teller,” was taken from a July 1963 session at Decca Studios in West Hampstead. According to the band's bassist Bill Wyman, both studio tracks had “crowd atmosphere added,” while even the live recordings of “Lady Jane,” “I’m Alright,” “Have You Seen Your Mother,” and “Satisfaction” “all benefited from various amounts of overdubs at Olympic Studios in mid-October.”

WHY IS THIS ALBUM LISTED AS "USED" INSTEAD OF "NEW"? 

I get asked this question a lot. The answer is simple: NEW, by definition, means a recent production of something that has never been previously owned. All of my records are original vintage vinyls that have all been previously owned and therefore must be considered used despite never being opened. 

This is called "USED NEW OLD STOCK" which means that the album was previously owned, but it was NEVER BEEN OPENED OR REMOVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER'S ORIGINAL FACTORY SEALED PLASTIC SHRINK WRAP. 

If you still have questions, feel free to send me a message.

PLEASE REFERENCE PHOTOS FOR ACCURATE LOOK AT CONDITION

Please take care to look at all photographs very closely as they are the best accounting of the record's condition. I took care to provide the best true-to-life photographs I could, including angles from the album's front, back, and sides as well as close-ups of its corners and any notable flaws. It is the buyer's responsibility to review them closely, so there are no surprises when the album arrives.

ABOUT MY RECORDS

I inherited all of my vinyl from the private collection of a 25+ year London Records Executive who worked for the label in New York City during the 60s, 70s, and into the late-80s. He held a senior role at the label, which allowed him unique insider access to many original first press editions when they were first released in the US as well as some rare test pressings. He worked directly on US marketing and promotion for The Rolling Stones throughout most of the 1960s when they were at the height of their fame, which is why I have so many early pressings of their albums. The collection overall is vast and diverse with a myriad of albums and artists spanning more than 30-40 years and over a dozen music genres. The lion’s share fall into three main categories: Rock, Classical Symphony & Opera, and Jazz.
