Got Live If You Want It

a live document of the brian jones-era rolling stones sounds enticing, but the actual product is a mixed bag, owing to a mixture of factors, some beyond the producers' control and other very much their doing. the sound on the original lp was lousy — which was par for the course on most mid-'60s live rock albums — and the remasterings have only improved it marginally, and for that matter not all of it's live; a couple of old studio r&b covers were augmented by screaming fans that had obviously been overdubbed. still, the album has its virtues as a historical document, with some extremely important caveats for anyone not old enough to recognize the inherent limitations in a live album of this vintage
