Guest Darks Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I guess the classic one is the b side to Bobby Sheens "Doctor Love" on Capitol. "Sweet, sweet love" just a brilliant piece of mid tempo soul. Various progressive types have played it over the years but it still got alot of potential. Another favourite is the flip to Lou Rowls "Love is a hurting thing" "Memory lane" a slow sort of finger snapper with a bluesy feel, but don't let put you off, makes a great last record. Got the lot including harmonicas! Regards Alan
grant Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 flips to :- Inticers - Since She Left - can't remember title, something 'Baby'? :fool: Johnny Caswell-You Dont Love Me Anymore (IOU) Epitome Of Sound - You Dont Love Me (Where Were You) Volumes - I Just Cant Help Myself (One Way Lover) to name but a few........
Guest Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 i like the topic! also interesting the question what influenced label owners decision on what to pick as a - and b-side. so often the determinded b-side is the title that´s more interesting to soul folks today... like for example jimmy helms - my little devil ruby johnson - weak spot, keep on keeping on, (think stax/volt pretty often picked a ballad for the a-side and put a nice upbeat-tune on the flip...? gene latter - funny face girl regarding good 2siders, i like jean wells - "the best thing for you baby"/"try me and see" lyn collins - "mama feelgood"/"fly me to the moon" jackie wilson - this love is real/love uprising etta james - tell mama/i´d rather go blind and thousands more i guess...

Guest pendulum Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Always liked flipside of intruders `check yourself ` which is the midtempo `it must be love` `sing what you wanna` which is b side of shorty longs `here comes da judge` also cuts a fine groove.
Eamesy Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Always liked flipside of intruders `check yourself ` which is the midtempo `it must be love` `sing what you wanna` which is b side of shorty longs `here comes da judge` also cuts a fine groove.

Sunnysoul Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Always preferred the flip side to the Case of Tyme's manic "Manifesto" ! '"SOME CALL IT LOVE" Absolute cracking dancer !
soulfulsaint Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 Always preferred the flip side to the Case of Tyme's manic "Manifesto" ! '"SOME CALL IT LOVE" Absolute cracking dancer ! Another current example would be 'Gotta Wipe Away The Teardrops' the flip of Ollie Jackson's 'The Day My Heart Stood Still.' Think I still prefer 'Heart' but it does beg the question what impact a played 'B' side influences price too. Steinways, Larry Atkins etc etc?
