Got Live If You Want It! (capitalized got LIVE if you want it! on the cover) is the final official EP by The Rolling Stones and was released in 1965. The band's first live recording to be released, it was captured during selected dates at Liverpool and Manchester during their British tour in March that year.
Renowned for its raw-sounding quality, got LIVE if you want it! has endured as a live artifact, more for its historical than musical appeal. Reportedly engineer Glyn Johns had hung microphones over the balcony for the recording; however, this is called into question as "I'm Alright" on the Got Live If You Want It! LP (recorded and released a year later) contains the same backing track but with different vocals. This would have been impossible if the recordings were made as described.
Although it was never released in the United States, three of its songs were used to fill up the American albums Out of Our Heads ("I'm Alright") and December's Children (And Everybody's) ("Route 66" and "I'm Moving On") later in 1965.
Unavailable for decades, got LIVE if you want it! was reissued on Compact Disc in 2004 on the Singles 1963–1965 box set through ABKCO Records.
The title is a pun on the blues song "I Got Love If You Want It" by Slim Harpo.
