The 40th anniversary box set of "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!: The Rolling Stones in Concert" (Abkco) -- one of the first great rock and roll live albums -- has a little something for everyone.

The box set lists at $59.98 and is released on Nov. 3. A "super deluxe" version, which adds three vinyl LPs (and in which the packaging and the book expands to 12x12), lists for $99.98.

The meat of the box is a three-CD reissue of the original LP, which captured the Stones at the height of their success and of their skills.

Disc one has the 10 tracks from the vinyl, issued in 1970, and disc two contains five unreleased songs from the recordings, made over two nights in November 1969 at New York's Madison Square Garden; the band's first appearance at this now-legendary venue.

The third disc contains the sets by show openers B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner.

Also slotted into the gatefold digipak is a 29-minute DVD with live performances and other footage, including the photo shoot for the final album cover.

A 56-page hardcover book is loaded with great photos, essays and Lester Bangs' Rolling Stone review of the record. The most interesting section of the book shows the scrapped cover art and includes a discussion of "the cover that never was" with photographer Ethan Russell.

Guitar Hero fans get a free downloadable song -- "I'm Free (live)" -- here, too.

"The Rolling Stones are most assuredly not in trouble," wrote Bangs, presciently, in his review, "and are looking like an even greater force in the years ahead than they have been. It's too soon to tell, but I'm beginning to think Ya-Ya's just might be the best album they ever made."

Had he survived, Bangs could have been right saying the same thing 40 years later.

I know I'm probably starting a debate with this comment, but history has shown Mick Jagger sounding awful on most live recordings. "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" is one of the exceptions and a peak time for the Stones just prior to the release of "Let It Bleed". To have the B.B. King/Ike & Tina Turner live stuff as well is definitely a win-win for this box set.

"Ya-Ya's" is a great album, but there are many much better Stones concerts available on bootleg CDs and free downloads online. You can find a few of them at Rushmore Records in Bayview.

Thanks for reviewing and highlighting this! I have most CD's and not sure if or when I will get this. But have seen Rolling Stones 7 times and yes would see them again in a second. Just thinking they are due to tour again. Rolling Stones from years ago are just as great as they are now! Best band in the world!
