The Rolling Stones In Concert "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!"

CAT. NO. SKL 5065 ~ XZAL I0076/7

EVERY COLLECTOR’S DREAM! This is an early pre-release SAMPLE and a truly fantastic and legendary LP. Any fan of The Rolling Stones, R&B, Rock, and British Invasion scenes or 60’s music in general will want to have this rare item in their collection!

From the private collection of a life-long music industry mogul, this rare find is one of few GENUINE original STEREO test pressings from 1970 (although I have read warnings that there are fakes for sale online, so FYI: beware of bootlegs). Every single vinyl record I sell comes directly from my uncle's best friend who was a big deal in the record industry for his entire career; he left his personal record collection to him when he passed, so these are all the real deal.

Based on my research, this is a rare gem. There are very few genuine test pressings (also called "factory sample") still in circulation. The demand by real collector's and rock enthusiast's is high and the supply is super limited, which is why you see a high start price for the bidding on this one.

The record itself is in EXCELLENT condition. The album's outer sleeve is in very good condition considering it's almost 50 years old; shows signs of wear from light handling over the years around the edges and at the corners, but front and back covers still look really good. The inner sleeve is also intact, but the white paper has signs of yellowing from natural age.

ABOUT THE ALBUM:

Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out is a live album by THE ROLLING STONES and was released in the UK on 4th September 1970. It was recorded in New York and Maryland in November 1969, just before the release of Let It Bleed. It is the first live album to reach NO. 1 in the UK. In addition to the regular band members (Mick Taylor had just replaced Brian Jones), the recordings included contributions from pianist Ian Stewart. 

Detailed description and album specifications are below. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Care was taken to provide accurate photographs of the album and its inner and outer sleeve for your reference. I am offering FREE SHIPPING (domestic only) to anywhere in the continental U.S.

What is a test pressing of vinyl?

Test pressings, usually with test pressing written on the label, with catalogue number, artist and recording time or date, are the first vinyl discs made at the factory. They are produced in small quantities (usually under five copies) to evaluate the quality of the disc before mass production begins.

These are some reviews I pulled off the internet that I thought provided better critic feedback on the album than I could provide myself: 

Ok - this album is plain and simple pure insanity. To me (and a lot of others evidently) it is one of the greatest live albums ever made. The energy here is off the hook. Also the cool thing is you get entirely different versions from the album both lyrically and musically. You get all the nitty gritty here with songs about sex with 13 year olds, sticking knives down peoples throats and of course the devil. The highlights here are 'Midnight Rambler' which is 9 minutes long and intruiging the entire time. They are on fire and so connected and playing off one another -the timing is incredible. Then after that leaves you breathless, some clairvoyant, thick New York accent, female, teenager in the audience screams out and calls Mick a 'devil' before they launch into 'Sympathy'!!! What? Yes! Did they edit that in? There is a wicked trade off of guitar solos in this one that rules! It all rocks and if there is one album to sit down with the headphones and a J, this one is it!

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is the definitive Stones live release. It is a raw, energetic showcase of the Stones at their live peak. I really think they never released a better live album (though Flashpoint comes dangerously close and just nearly surpasses it).

Kicking off with an amazing 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', the band rocks and rolls for nearly an hour. 'Midnight Rambler' lives up to its title, rambling on and on for 9 minutes and 4 seconds, making it the longest Stones song ever after 'Goin' Home'. 'Sympathy For The Devil' is transformed from a damned Mexican samba into a hot blues jam. Rocks through and through. 'Live With Me' is blistering, but the sound is noticeably spotty. 'Little Queenie' and 'Carol' are scorching covers of Chuck Berry standards. Great guitar playing. Blazing solos. Ian Stuart's fantastic finger flourishes are superb. The charming 'Honky Tonk Women' & the milititant 'Street Fighting Man' close the album with flare.

I think Get Yer Yas Yas Out released back in 70 is the greatest live album the Rolling Stones have ever made, as well as being one of the greatest live albums of all time.  Besides being the soundtrack to their classic documentary Gimme Shelter of their '69 tour. The live versions of "Jumpin Jack Flash, Midnight Rambler, Stray Cat Blues, Sympathy For The Devil, Honky Tonk Women, Street Fighting Man" capture the Stones at the height of their rock-n-roll prowess, when they were important, which they would never be able to repeat again. Which is why their 82 live album Still Life is too lifeless. I do have to say that the only other great Stones live album in my opinion would have to be Love You Live back in '77 when they were at a crossroads, even though it will never be in the same league as Ya Yas, because this classic live album represents what the Rolling Stones are all about & what made them rock legends in the first place.
