The Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out SACD
Lots of controversy and speculation on this album over the years has music historians and critics still very much split on opinion. Some say this was the greatest live album ever...while others shutter at the fact and cite the studio overdubs as a way to mask and hide the sloppy live playing of a very drunk and stoned band on the world stage.....well the last part I think might be kind of true but regardless this album is a very cool piece of Rolling Stones history and IMHO a very worth live album to own.
The song selection is quite impressive and contains some of the more popular Stones tunes of the day including a great version of Midnight Rambler and Jumpin' Jack Flash. Musically (even if corrected in the studio later) the band were tight and sounded anything but sloppy live and as you would expect carries a nice sense of energy and a live vibe to the music.
This is of course one of the Stone's ABKCO's Hybrid SACD releases that got the royal treatment back in 2002. Sonically this disc is not as good as some of the other earlier studio albums on SACD , but having said that in no way should it detract from you enjoying this album in Super Audio 2 Channel format.
I would say that sonically this is just flat....and not what you would or have come to expect from ABKCO or the SACD format and I certainly was expecting more out of this package. But having said this about the sound it is NOT bad or unlistenable.........in fact there are some pretty good moments as well like the drumming on Jumpin' Jack Flash (if you listen you will hear a pretty good definition) or the left guitar speaker on "Carol"...again might be in studio overdubs but either way i think you just need to sit back and listen to this album......
I really like this album and think the SACD is worth picking up....as long as you dont pay a ton for it......
Definitely not one of the discs to show off your SACD player ....but a very good live album to enjoy.
