England’s Newest Hit Makers (Partial)

England’s Newest Hit Makers

Released
May 30, 1964

Almost every song, excluding one, is found on their debut UK album, The Rolling Stones, so I'm skipping that. However, I can say that comparing the UK's quality to the US's quality, UK wins. But honestly, that's not surprising. Beatles fans know what happened to the Beatles' american releases. So much echo. The nightmares.
But...

Not Fade Away

(Charles Hardin and Norman Petty)

Very simple sound that The Rolling Stones are known for. Good replacement.

I didn't actually rate this because I thought it was even more pointless know that there's only one song to do.

1.5/5

5/10

The US version of the previous single, probably to capitalize on The Beatles’ popularity. The I Wanna Be Your Man cover is on the B-side, where it belongs.

3.5/5

Little By Little

(Nanker Phelge and Phil Spector)

A good rocking tune. I thought the song was going to be dominated by Jagger’s vocals, but once his harmonica solo ended it was a good mix of instruments and vocals. But honestly, in the end it’s nothing special.

*Fun Fact. Phil Spector wrote the song and played the maracas here. He started careers, ruined careers, was involved in many important musical figures, and then shot a woman.

3.5/5

7/10

Good single, combining some decent songs already released in some form.  Good money making here.
