"19th Nervous Breakdown" is a true single, meaning that this song is not pulled from an album. It appears on "Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)" This song is written differently from most in that Jagger came up with the title and then wrote around it. Brian Jones takes the Bass line from another song, "Diddley Daddy" by Bo Diddley. The track is also known for Bill Wyman's ending with a technique he calls Dive-bombing. The song clocks in at 3:56 which by 1966 standards is a long song. The flipside is another non album song, "Sad Day". Both sides were written by Jagger/Richards. The A-Side made it to number 2 on Billboard. Keeping it from being number was "Ballad of the Green Berets" by Sgt. Barry Sadler.
Tracklist:
| A | 19th Nervous Breakdown | 3:50 | |
