got LIVE if you want it! is the third and final official EP by The Rolling Stones and was released in 1965. A live recording, 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 legendary 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 contains the same backing track but with different vocals. This would have been impossible if the recordings were made as described.

got LIVE if you want it! reached #7 in the UK singles chart. Although it was never released in the US, three of its songs were used to fill up the American albums Out of Our Heads and December's Children (And Everybody's) later in 1965.

Unavailable for decades, got LIVE if you want it! was finally reissued on CD in 2004 on the Singles 1963-1965 box set through ABKCO Records.
