60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
12/8/65 - The Rolling Stones finished recording “19th Nervous Breakdown” at RCA Studios in Hollywood, California. In the UK, it would be paired with The Stones’ version of “As Tears Go By,” previously a hit they had given away to Marianne Faithfull, as their first new single release of 1966. Here in The States, The Rolling Stones had already taken their version of that tune all the way to #3 as their previous single release ... so OUR B-Side became "Sad Day."
Also completed today during that same session was “Mother’s Little Helper,” a track that would be held back for a July, 1966 single release. In between, they would top the charts again (for the fourth time) with “Paint It, Black.”
Also on 12/8, Rick Nelson sings “Truck-Driving Man” and “I Catch Myself Crying” on tonight's episode of the “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.”
