Reviews :
I've got it on vinyl as "We Never Really Got it On till Detroit." It was graded a "B" by an old mail order firm called Rock and Roll
University back in the mid-70s (on an A-E scale). I would love to hear a cleaner version. It is a great concert, lots of neat Mick/crowd banter.
Decent audience recording for 1969 but not good by modern standards.
Originally released as the second ever Stones boot (also reviewed in Rolling
Stone mag) "We Didn't Really Get It on Until Detroit;" supposedly Mick said
this meaning it was the first really good show of the tour. Quickly copied
onto several now very obscure double and single LPs, all collectible and
scratchy! Only the first release is stereo. Now out on this CD, dubbed from
the very rare stereo 2 LP set with minimal loss in quality (noise reduction)
but some dialogue (scratchy quiet parts) chopped out. 3 songs (where are the
rest?) from a mysterious semi-professional video (!) are available in 7.0 m
quality on a rare German LP and the CD-R "American Tour, 1969 Soundboard
Compilation."
