In Kansas City, there was an equally popular version of "Double Shot" on
Bang, by the K-Otics.

Hi all,
> ..."19th Nervous Breakdown" was available in true stereo ( along with "The
Last Time" & "As Tears Go By" ) on a few bootleg CD's ( 2 for sure that I
know of ) in pretty mediocre quality. I know Dick Bartley used to play a
true stereo version of this song. It may have, thus ( ? ), been released
also on one of those Westwood One "rarities" discs, for radio stations
only. I seem to remember the Stones' dedicated Westwood One CD had some
tunes in true stereo ( which ones - I can't remember ! ).

it's just a waste of shelf space. Kids don't care about stereo I guess"

order it and pay the $1.00 extra. I understand it was that extra dollar
that hurt sales more than anything else.
