[Mr Bridger]

B side to David Watts

The B-side Of Young Parisians and a vastly superior track in my opinion.

[Dolph Ins]

B side of Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello My Funny Valentine and the B side to a David Bowie single, can't remember which, In The Port of Amsterdam.

 

[Guinness Boy]

 

[Pogue Mahone]

B side of Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello My Funny Valentine and the B side to a David Bowie single, can't remember which, In The Port of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam was the B side of Sorrow, I think, and much better.

Rebel Rebel, though a great song, was blown away by it's b-side: Queen Bitch.

What a value single that was! Good documentary about Eric on BBC4 last weekend so would still be on iPlayer - has a very attractive/capable young lady sharing his life judging by the film!

Quite an interesting bloke.

I saw him in 77, supporting Santana and Journey at the Empire Pool, Wembley. Animal magnetism or what?

Scroll forward to 6 minutes for the B side. OK, a lot of dub reggae B sides are better than the A sides, but they are just the dub reggae version. This is in that style, but this B side is magic.
