*Review* (Single) 19th Nervous Breakdown / As Tears Go By

*This is part of my ongoing, personal project of listening to every Rolling Stones material released, posted onto this blog for everyone to read and for opinions to flourish. The rating doesn't mean much, because I hate ratings, but might as well.*

(Single) 19th Nervous Breakdown / As Tears Go By

Oh boy, after a hiatus, I’m back. We finally step into what I personally think was the peak of The Rolling Stones. I’ll probably do some research to see if I’m right.

19th Nervous Breakdown

(Mick Jagger / Keith Richards)

I love rocking pieces. I honestly can’t find anything to pick at on this song. All I can say is, “oh my, that bass.”

10/10

As Tears Go By

(Jagger, Richards and Andrew Loog Oldham)

*Copied from the previous single, where this was the A-side.* 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

20/20

Fun fact: this is a beautiful single, and so far the only single to receive a perfect score. Ladies and gentlemen, this is beautiful. The UK got a great deal on this baby.
