I'm a bit confused. You put it on to listen to Route 66 and got another 12 songs including 19th Nervous Breakdown?
Route 66 is on the GLIYWI EP record - which comes from 1965.
19th Nervous Breakdown is on the GLIYWI LP - which comes from 1966.
Two different releases, with entirely different tracks.
The EP is marvellous. In my opinion the second best live release they've ever put out.
I'm with mitch on the 1966 live album though. Unlistenable and phony.

I was a huge Stones fan when "Got Live If You Want It" was released in America. And what a disappointment. It was the first time I thought, wow, the Rolling Stones are really only in it for the money.
A sampling of their most recent work proves that I was right.

The mono mix is the one to get. Some decades ago, I played this album to my nephews friends who were all punks and claimed that everything before punk was just plain boring. I said that punk already happened ten years before...it left their mouths open...they could not believe what they were hearing!!!
Its the energy, baby, the raw energy. If you dont get this, you dont get GLIYWI.

I have trouble listening to it but it does capture some of the early hysteria at a Stones show, musically it kinda sucks and it is mostly dubbed.

Come On - I am a fan of the original band - I have actually been listening to the early stuff a lot recently but Got Live if you Want It is not a good album it's extremely poorly produced. There had to be some better material out there that they could have put out. Rour 66 and I'm Moving on are awesome early lieve Stones as is the BBC tracks You Better Move On, Roure 66, Cops and Robbers and Mona. I am not just one of the post 1969 fans I actually think in the studio that the most intersting period is 1964-1967 I did not say best but most intersting.

It's obvious that Fortune Teller was a studio recording

Just as you thought! I'm talking about the worlds greatest rockbands absolute best Live-album! Listened to it last evening and I couldn't imagine it was that good. Here we are talking energy and musicality from the young bandmembers, and lean an extra-ear to Keiths backup-singing on 19th nervous breakdown and Have you seen your mother..Brilliant! I put it on just for listening for Route 66, but I got 12 another rude rock-songs...any other fans of this early live-album here? Allright, soundquality is not the best but what counts in rock'n'roll...

If you can seek out a MONO copy of this album, then grab it. MILES AND MILES better than the stereo mix.
