(Single) As Tears Go By / Gotta Get Away

As Tears Go By

(Jagger, Richards and Andrew Loog Oldham)

A very beautiful song. Very beautiful indeed. And there’s orchestration to this, and you can’t complain about that. And Jagger doesn’t push his voice, because if he did the song would be ruined.

10/10

Gotta Get Away

(Jagger / Richards)

Somehow a very appropriate B-side. An above-average song from the Stones that doesn’t do too much.

8/10

18/20

Excellent single.  I knew from the start that As Tears Go By would get a single release, as it’s so different and beautiful. The B-side is also good and fits well with the overall tone of the single.
