Mick Jagger was 'sick with envy' over The Beatles track

In the 1960s The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were two sides of the same coin.

The Fab Four were building their fanbase out of Liverpool, while often visiting London to perform and enjoying residency slots in Germany.

At the same time, The Rolling Stones were breaking moulds with their rambunctious and energetic performances - with Jagger at the forefront of it all.

And although their public "rivalry" was played up in the press for a bit of fun, Jagger was a little frustrated with The Beatles' success.

Jagger confessed as much in 1988 when he inducted the Fab Four into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

He said to the audience: "We were doin’ Chuck Berry songs and blues and things, and we thought that we were totally unique animals. And then we heard there was a group from Liverpool, and they had long hair, scruffy clothes."
