\ "LURCH" RECORDS
This is the quite rare ORIGINAL 1969 pressing of the legendary "LiveR Than You'll Ever Be" ... one of the FIRST ever underground records that had a HUGE impact on the record collecting scene....
A pre-T.M.O.Q. era first issue:
The recording and distribution of "LIVEr Than You'll Ever Be" is a landmark historical achievement for many reasons. The recording itself is a high quality audience source. "What was used was a Senheiser 805 'shotgun' microphone and a Uher 4000 reel-to-reel tape recorder, which was real small, 7 1/2 inch per second 5" reels" The LP was released in December 1969 just over a month after its November 9th, 1969 (2nd show) recording. "LIVEr Than You'll Ever Be" is not only significant because of its place in history, but also because of the mood and feel that it captured as the Rolling Stones returned to live performances for the first time in over three years with new guitarist Mick Taylor. Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and The Cream had all happened since the last tour through the States. Guitar heroes and songs with great solos were the talk of the day. There was a stark difference between the screaming crowds that marked the close of their last US tour in Hawaii July 28, 1966, and the audiences they were now facing who were sitting down during the shows and listening to the music. The Oakland performances were early in the tour and the band was still getting acquainted with itself in a live setting with sound systems that could be heard in the far reaches of the stadiums they were playing in. The recording is primal in it's musical depth compared to the well known "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" commercial release from the 1969 tour. There are no vocal or instrumental overdubs on LIVEr which enables the listener to compare the band early in the tour to the slicker overdubbed recording that would represent a band that had musically evolved very quickly during the course of the tour. It has been written that "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out!" was released to counter sales of this record. There is a tremendous amount of folklore around LIVEr, most of which was promoted by the press that reviewed and wrote about the recording at the time of its release. The following excerpt from a "Rolling Stone" magazine review by Greil Marcus dated February 7, 1970: "How it was recorded is more interesting, because the sound quality is superb, full of presence, picking up drums, bass, both guitars and the vocals beautifully. The LP is in stereo; while it doesn't seem to be mixed, the balance is excellent. One of the manufacturers says the recording was done on an eight-track machine... So these may in fact be tapes that were made on the stage by someone involved in setting up the Stones' own sound system" Reviews like this were amusing for the guys at TMoQ, but not for record companies or the recording industry. ABKCO followed-up with a press release stating that Baltimore and New York shows were taped by the band for future release, but that no West Coast shows were taped. This isn't completely true as footage from LIVEr show in Oakland was used in the "Gimme Shelter" movie. It's the part where Jagger says: "You really dressed-up tonight...". Trade Mark of Quality takes full credit for the searches for tape recorders before shows as a result of their work in recording West Coast shows of the Rolling Stones in 1969. This would only be the tip of an iceberg with ensuing iterations of copyright law and royalty claims that artists and record companies would mount against the emerging underground recording industry. The set list for the original "LIVEr Than You'll Ever Be" LP: Side One: Mick: Shit, Hang on a minute. Can you hear that? Keith play a bit... These lines are from Oakland, November 9th, 1st show. They were spoken immediately after Jumpin' Jack Flash when the band blew their amplifiers in the first show and inserted the acoustic set. This was spliced in the second show performance in order to provide a better opening point for the LP (Carol), because TMoQ was not happy with the sound quality of the second show Jumpin' Jack Flash on the tape. They didn't want to start the LP with a bunch of Thank You's! Jagger's actual words before Carol for the 2nd show were: Thank you Thank you Thanks very much (Terrible) Aw yeah, we're really pleased to be back here Really, no bull sh*t We're really gonna give you We know it's a bit late We know it's a bit late But a, we hope you don't mind if we stay Carol - This version has a very "smoky" guitar sound and rumbles like a freight train coming down the tracks. The LP starts with the second song of the set as later releases would reveal a level drop-out problems on the original source tape with Jumpin' Jack Flash and Under My Thumb. Oh. All Right! (splice) You got an echo on now? He's got echo. Let's do it with echo then... Gimme Shelter - This song wasn't a regular set list item in 1969 and although not as musically intense as the Altamont excerpt heard in the "Gimme Shelter" movie it certainly fits the bill as a haunting rendition of the song. Oh yeah. Gimme some shelter. Gimme some shelter (splice). Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones were improvising live performances of their studio releases in 1969. Keith and Mick Taylor each play solos with Richards in the middle section of the song and Taylor at the end. The samba beat is diminished by a simple three chord rhythm and the lack of backing who...who's. Whoow Ohhhhhwooo Aaw well all right (splice) Waiting on you Wheehoo wheehoohoo All right here we go, slowly rocking on... I'm Free - Taylor lays an incredible tapestry of guitar solos in melodic free form across the rhythm of the song. Not played often on the 1969 tour. It didn't seem to be a big crowd pleaser in the eyes of the Stones. One of those songs where people sat down and listened. Oooohhooo (splice) Rock 'n Roll, now here we go.... Live With Me - The release of LIVEr allowed fans to hear the studio version and live version as simultaneous releases. Let It Bleed had not even been released at the time of the Oakland show, with the song being completely new to those who heard it that evening. Whooo, oh, thank you, thank you that was called Live With Me, your welcome.... Side Two: As you may have imagined This is blues time... And we gonna do one more blues yet, yet awhile This is a new one we do man, and it's called aahh, Love In Vain Love In Vain - The brilliant Rolling Stones arrangement of the Robert Johnson classic originally recorded in 1936. Former Mayall Bluesbreaker Mick Taylor burns up a silky slide. Like Johnson, Taylor's slide is played with extreme cleanness and clarity. Jagger's vocal after the first solo break is lifted by the virtuosity of the passage. Oh, I got right carried away with it We're gonna do... We're gonna do one a new one What ever you do... Do I get a microphone for this anymore (harmonica) Or it doesn't happen? OK. I'll try it with this one Midnight Rambler - A Chuck Berry riff perversely distorted into a graveyard chug about none other than the Boston Strangler. The live version played in November 1969 flows much more smoothly than the studio version that would be released a month later. Jagger asks the crowd to shake their asses. Perhaps insecure about the somewhat unanimated reception of the Oakland/San Francisco audience. Oh, All Right! We're gonna see you I think you really... You've really dressed up tonight And I think We haven't really dressed up that much But we'd like to we how you look Can we see how they look? Let's have a look, how they look, c'mon Oh we just wanted to see how they look Ahhhooo ,we couldn't see you We couldn't see you We're gonna do one From a long long while ago When we was A all a falling out of our cradles Little Queenie - The crowd claps along with Charlie's dead on drum beat. Another Chuck Berry classic featured for the first time in the 1969 tour set. Keith bends the double stops for a rockin' solo. C'mon San Francisco Let's see how you can shake your asses Come on, let's get it on Whooo We're gonna have a good time All Right Come on let's have a good time Come on, shake it on All right We want you to help us sing on this one We really need ya Because a we're a little hoarse And there's a very high note That the chicks can all get into, right? We'd really dig it if you could Ahh it pretty high, all right Honky Tonk Women - Confidence is definitely building as the band plays on, and by the time they reach this one they're in full flight. This seals the success of the show for sure with people clearly enjoying themselves and the revitalized Rolling Stones. Whooo All Right, All Right, All Right, All Right, All Right, All Right AllWhoo Right Street Fighting Man - Raw and gritty the show builds to a crescendo with what would ultimately become a powerful closer for Rolling Stones shows for some years to come. This one jams with a strong rhythm guitar outro by Keith with Charlie hammering away in a frenzy. This is Rock 'Roll baby.
CONDITION: The Cover: clean condition "EX" (excellent) the white is with no more than light visual past handling that was careful enough when considering that most all copies are with shelf wear or trashed some 40+ years later...overall a definite collection copy, no seam splits, no writing, no bends ...smooth stiff and straight!
