Subject: B-Sides
Okay, remember the days when you had extra time on your hands, and you would flip over your 45s and check out the B-side? Any good B-sides you remember?
Subject: Re: B-Sides
No Zella, frankly I don't. I came to the conclusion that that's where the garbage went !
I remember feeling really ripped off when you turned it over and you'd find it was even the same song, but something magical called a "nightclub mix" or some similar wording.
Come to think of it, I remember buying "Only You Can" by Fox. On the other side was "Imagine Me, Imagine You" which I thought was a much better song.

Yes I do! The Flip-side of Todd Rungrens "Hello It's Me" was "Cold Morning Light" and I liked it quite a bit. Also my FAVORITE "B-side" was the opposite of Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" it was the STUDIO version of "Silver Springs" It's a little scratched up and a few years back when I looked for it they had already changed the flip-side to "Second Hand News" >:( It's the one song that Fleetwood Mac "Trimmed" off of the "Rumours" LP....I'd have preferred it to be on thier instead of "Oh, Daddy" or a couple others. IMO it's much better than the "Live" version they did in recent years. Another "B-side" I liked was on the 1973 Ronnie Dyson hit "One Man Band (Plays All Alone)" called "I Think I'll Tell Her"

Also, "Keep The Customer Satified" by Simon & Garfunkel-1970
Subject: Re: B-Sides
I can remember finding quite a few good b-sides. All of the Stones records of course, but some others that stand out were:
Sally G on the flip side of Junior's Farm by Paul McCartney
C-Moon on the flip side of Hi HI Hi by the same
Multi Colored Lady on the flip of Midnight Rider by Greg Allman
the flip side of Stone County Wanted Man by Johnney Winter -- can't recall the name, but it was better than the a-side
Hair of the Dog on the flip of Nazareth's "Love Hurts"
But the best of all was the flip side of Captain Howdy (can't recall the artist). It was called "I Fell For Her, She Fell For Him and He Fell For Me" It was a country style tune, and absolutley hilarious. I used to have a friend who had a country band and he really wanted to add it to their repetoir--in the third set when the crowd was really drunk. But he couldn't get their lead singer to agree to sing it... :(
Incidentally, the name of the one character in the song was "Homer Simpson." I always wondered if the creator of "The Simpsons" had heard the song and used the name as a sort of obscure joke. ;D

"Albert Flasher" by The Guess Who....flipside was "Broken" :)
Subject: Re: B-Sides
And how could I forget the flip side of Jasper Carrott's "Funky Moped", which, of course, was "The Magic Roundabout" - anybody here remember *that*?

Of course! I remember the first time I heard the mole record I was laughing so much my friend had to put it on again cos noone else could hear it!!
Subject: Re: B-Sides
The Beatles were know for having a hit single on both sides.
One of the better B-sides was Springsteen's version of "Pink Cadillac", with was the flip side of "Dancing in the Dark".

You must be one of a small handful of people (outside of Canada anyway ;) ) who actually has that record on a 45! ;D

That would be "Bad Luck Situation" (Winter of '74)...

The artist was r&b singer Simon Stokes (so not sure "country-style" applies here, although I admit I've never heard either song), and the A-side was a minor hit here in the U.S. in the Summer of '74. The title was a reference to the name given to Satan in the '73 flick, "The Exorcist"...

Don't know, but as a huge "Simpsons" fan, I'd be very surprised...

Yes, I knew about that too. Hey, for an "80s music freak" you are pretty up on the 70s!
