Someone who have info why DECCA released both an 7" EP and a 12" LP with the same title when it's NOT the same concert? As far as I can remember here in Sweden the EP was released summer 1965 and the album was released a year later (1966). Why did DECCA released an album a year later with the same title when it's not the same concert and the same tracks?

Btw, of course I have the old vinyl discs from the 60's. I'm a vinyl collector... NOT a CD collector.

I guess "Got Live If You Want It" has nothing to do with a special concert they did back then...............

I guess they couldn't think of a better one.

The EP was released on the English market, the LP in the U.S. so the same title didn't matter anyway. Forget about minor markets like Germany, France or Sweden...

The Got live if you want it - LP, and the Got LIVE if you want it - EP is a mix of different concert-recordings, from various concerts, plus studio-recordings with added audience-sound, (Fotuneteller & I´ve been loving you too long). The new edition of Charlie is my darling, adds further live-recordings.
As a curiosity can be mentioned, that the EP in severel countries, fx Japan and Denmark, was released without Route 66 - for what reason unknown !
The CD-release contains another intro & take of Under my Thumb, - also very strange, -
but what remains is, that the whole Got live if you want it-project is a mixture.

The EP has they're best live-song ever on it: Route 66...second comes 'Little Queenie' from Ya Yas....IMHO of course...

The EP is a classic

The LP is a mess, with some of the tracks studio recordings with screaming dubbed on ! Typical Decca IMHO

The recent LIVE '65 audio is what should have been released in 1966 .

Amazing what's sitting in the vaults for 40+ years.

The EP was released in UK and other european countries but not in the US.

The LP was released in the US and in some european countries but not in UK. Have You Seen Your Mother/Live was made for export. UK got the LP Gimme Shelter (1971) with parts of the GLIYWI LP.
