The Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!

Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out is a live album by English rock band The Rolling Stones, originally released in September 1970 via Decca Records.

Culled from four shows from November 1969 in Baltimore and New York, Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! was more than just a document of a band taking the next step toward greatness. It’s a peek into a period when that group found its stage footing and proceeded to draw everyone within reach into its sway. Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! captures the menace, the arrogance and the excitement of the Rolling Stones at their peak.

Hitting the road for the first time without Brian Jones, who had died in July, and with Mick Taylor, the band sounded raw, rough and ready to rock. On Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!, the jagged guitars stab rather than pierce, the rhythm section is tight but bulldozing and Mick Jagger is cocky and at times tentative.

The songs that made the final cut are as lean as the Stones ever got. (Fans were immediately drawn to it, too: Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! - released almost eight months before the Stones’ next album, Sticky Fingers – reached No. 6 and eventually went platinum. It remains their bestselling live set and a record-collection staple from the early ’70s.)

The track listing is made up of covers and originals that pretty much confirmed that the Stones were taking things into a new era. All the originals from either the Beggars Banquet or Let It Bleed sessions. The best of them – like the barnstorming take on “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, the warped dreamscape of “Sympathy For The Devil” and a defining version of “Midnight Rambler” – sound fresh in the setting.

This was the future of the Stones. It may not be a complete concert but it’s a great sample of the Stones in that period.

Check out the album tracks: of “Sympathy For The Devil”; “Midnight Rambler” and "Jumpin' Jack Flash".

This LP record is on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl featuring the 2002 remastered audio, pressed in Europe via the "ABKCO the Rolling Stones DSD Remastered" series.
