<P> The performances captured for this release were recorded on 27 November 1969 (one show) and 28 November 1969 (two shows) at New York City's Madison Square Garden, while "Love in Vain" was recorded in Baltimore, Maryland on 26 November 1969 . Overdubbing sessions were undertaken during January 1970 in London's Olympic Studios . The finished product featured an edited lead vocal on two tracks, and an overdubbed guitar on songs "Little Queenie" and "Stray Cat Blues ." However this album is widely recognized as one of a few actual' live' albums during this era . </P> <P> The title Get Yer Ya - Ya's Out! is taken from a Blind Boy Fuller song, "Get Your Yas Yas Out". The lyric in Fuller's song was "Now you got to leave my house this morning, don't I'll throw your yas yas out o' door", in which "yas yas" was a substitute for "ass". </P> <P> Some of the performances, as well as one of the two photography sessions for the album cover featuring Charlie Watts and a donkey, are depicted in the documentary film Gimme Shelter, and shows Jagger and Watts on a road in Birmingham, Alabama in early December 1969 posing with the donkey . The actual cover photo however was taken in early February 1970 in London, and does not originate from the 1969 session . The photo by David Bailey, featuring Watts with guitars and bass drums hanging from the neck of a donkey, was inspired by a line in Bob Dylan's song, "Visions of Johanna": "Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule" (though, as mentioned, the animal in the photo is a donkey, not a mule). The band would later say "we originally wanted an elephant but settled for a donkey". Watts said that his wardrobe (which includes a t - shirt with a picture of woman's breasts) was his usual stage getup along with Jagger's striped hat . </P> <P> Jagger commissioned the back cover, featuring song titles and credits with photographs of the group in performance, from British artist Steve Thomas, who has said he produced the design in 48 hours and that Jagger's response was "I really dig your artwork, man". </P>
