This was the third EP of the Rolling Stones, and an export release to the Nordic countries.

There’s a debate whether this was really recorded live or not. They did have that tour in the UK and played those songs in their set. No studio session details have been found for these. On the other hand, they did have two studio tracks overdubbed with crowd noise on their 1966 US album “Got Live If You Want It!”. So, they were familiar with the concept.

List price:  UK release, not found in my US catalogs. These have been sold in eBay for 18-110 euros.
