Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! - NAD 2024 (1LP Red & White Vinyl)

Formed in London after a fortuitous meeting between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on a railway platform at Dartford train station, The Rolling Stones, one of the greatest rock’n’roll bands of all time, released in 1970 a record that is often described as one of the greatest live albums of all time. An exceptional document of the group’s North American tour of November 1969, largely taken from two storming nights at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! features a set of Stones classics, among them the opening statement of intent, ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’, as well as ‘Sympathy For the Devil’, ‘Honky Tonk Women’, a nine-minute ‘Midnight Rambler’ and the high-octane closer, ‘Street Fighting Man’.

Powered by the classic rhythm section of Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman (with Ian Stewart assisting on piano), and with Keith Richards and Mick Taylor trading guitar licks, and Mick Jagger whipping the crowd into a frenzy, Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! shows just what a tight outfit the Stones had become as they entered the new decade. Following their
cover of Chuck Berry’s ‘Little Queenie’, Jagger declares, “Charlie’s good tonight, innee?”, and it is the late drummer who, along with a donkey named Jack, features on the album’s front cover, shot by legendary rock photographer David Bailey.

Following its release in September 1970, Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! would be the first live album to hit No.1 on the UK charts, and to this day it remains one of the most influential live recordings of all time. 

Reissued on 180g coloured vinyl for National Album Day, this pressing of the album Includes an archival lithograph print featuring film strips from the concert.
