Fans Demand Rolling Stones Release Entire ‘Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out’ Live Recordings

An online petition calls for a box set of the band’s historic 1969 Madison Square Garden gigs in their entirety.
On November 27, 1969, the Rolling Stones played a show at New York’s Madison Square Garden, followed by two more the next day. Recordings curated from all three concerts soon made their way onto the band’s 1970 release, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert.
This classic album was the first live LP to reach the number one spot in the Stones’ native U.K. and is rumored to have been released in response to the popular Live'r Than You'll Ever Be bootleg recorded just weeks earlier in Oakland, California.
While ABKCO Records released a Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! box set containing 3 CDs and 1 DVD back in 2009, Rolling Stones fans feel that this remastered version along with five previously unreleased tracks (including footage) from the second evening concert, plus performances by opening acts simply isn’t enough.
It appears some fans just can’t get no satisfaction from this.
Consequently, super-fan Scott Sigel has organized an online petition requesting recordings from all three Madison Square Garden concerts be released.
A statement written by Sigel reads:
“We in the Stones fan-base community have longed to hear all three MSG shows (minus the excessive vocal/instrumental overdubs & extraneous editing) released in excellent quality in order to experience a true representation of being at a Rolling Stones concert in 1969!”
Meanwhile, rumors abound concerning the availability of video footage from all three concerts, with bootleg audio recordings promising distinctive performances from each.
“In conclusion,” continues Sigel, “what a better time to honor the 60th anniversary of the Rolling Stones as a working band by releasing the Madison Square Garden shows in their entirety when the band was playing at its zenith.”

Just saw this article which is great publicity! Hey Sighunt have you contacted any other online mags like Louder to try to get them to do an article?
Cristiano, what thread did you bump on the Steve Hoffman forum? I asked a moderator and he advised it was bad form to create a thread to link to another forum but suggested I add a link in my signature which I did several weeks ago. My handle on the forum is "classicrocker".
The petition link is at the bottom of everyone of my posts so hopefully drove some signatures?

It was this one.
I would like to hold off on sending this directly to the Stones or Abkco for the time being and present it to both when there are more signatures. Right now I'm shooting for at least 1000 which I think is readily doable- maybe more. We shall see.Quote

Nice to see someone one who was associated so closely with the Stones pitching in on his twitter!
I don't use twitter so not sure of the rules but can this be put on the official Stones twitter and ABKCO official twitter by simply responding to a tweet?
Would that get them mad if we did that and hurt the cause?

Agree, and it would be fantastic to get the message through to Rolling Stone and Mojo in addition to Guitar Player.Quote

I have had a few e-mail exchanges with MOJO so far. To be continued....

Shocking -
"Andrew Loog Oldham tweeted about this today"
Maybe he's insinuating if he still held power over the stones he'd help us out ha

Hi Professor. At the moment, we are in a holding pattern. Several of the Stones fan sites that I either belong to and/or peruse, are focusing (and understandably so) on Stones tour news...

Hey Sig, I was listening to the MSG 11/27 matrix last night while barbecuing and it got me thinking about the petition again.
It is great to see we exceeded `1000 signatures but the petition seems to have stalled at less than 1100.
Can you share who else you contacted to try to get more visibility on the petition?
Any response from Louder as that would be a great forum to publicize the petition.
Any other resources you contacted?
I am happy to help but want to make sure I don't contact resources you are already working on.
