Morrissey/Marr and Weller were so gifted that their throwaways were genius too.

Total Eclipse B side to Run To the Hills was very good I thought.

The real biggy of course is Grendel, the 17minute B-Side to the 12" of Marillion's Market Square Heroes.

Here's one.

Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine. Smooth Operator. The flip side of Passing Strangers.

I can't do the upload thing, but anyone else want to give a little pleasure?

Louder Than Bombs - The Smiths...

Most bands could have had decent careers with some of those B-sides

My 1st thought was The Butterfly Collector and also These are the Days of our lives - although on checking it was apparently a double A side with Bohemian Rhapsody!


And then of course there was Who Killed Bambi (The Sex Pistols)!

Certainly one of Ringo's best drumming performances on that. Brilliant song.

'Back From the Dead' was a superb b-side to 'For Lovers' by Wolfman and Pete Doherty. It's 10 times the version that appeared on 'Down in Albion' by Babyshambles.

Squeeze "Maidstone" B side was a cracker




or the B side to Labelled with Love - which is a mash of all their hits

never really got the double A record, one is the A and the other relegated to AA. why not release separate?
