JANUARY 1990 (25 YEARS AGO) The Rolling Stones: Almost Hear You Sigh b/w “Break the Spell” (Columbia 38-73093) 45 single is released in the US. Almost Hear You Sigh is a Grammy-nominated song by The Rolling Stones from their 1989 album Steel Wheels. Written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Steve Jordan, the song was first written and recorded for possible inclusion on Keith Richards first solo album Talk is Cheap. A year or so later Richards played the track for Chris Kimsey and Jagger while recording in Montserrat from March through June for the Steel Wheels sessions. Jordans writing credit stems from his work with Richards in 1987 and 1988. Released as the albums third single on January 1990, Almost Hear You Sigh made it halfway up the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, going slightly higher in the UK, and number one for one week on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. The fact that the B-side was a Steel Wheels retread, Break the Spell, and the Rolling Stones comeback 1989 North American tour had finished in December, the song got limited radio airplay.
