Mal C Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 B Sides, if you have the 45, you would have flipped it, Ive never even cast my eyes on this one, anybody know what the flip is like? Its not on You Tube by the way... which brings us to a good thread starter, Flip sides that very few have ever heard, for one reason or another?

Corbett80 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Had a nice home made sausage roll at the crown and anchor day before last. And a pint of Doombar. Enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dazdakin Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would imagine under played "good" flips may have been done but for what its worth check out the flip to Bob Brady & the concords - ellusion "I love you" absolute different class and needs a spin out. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Rimmer Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes, I've had a pint or two of Doombar in the recent past. Very enjoyable. Back on topic, I suspect the reason you haven't had many responses Malcolm is simply because there is now so much obscure stuff on the interweb that people can't think of anything they can't find.

Mal C Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Indeed, how would Joel know he might want a home made sausage roll at the crown and anchor, if he didn't know he couldn't get it at the Pub when he got there.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I assumed he was meaning on records so rare or obscure. One I stumbled on recently due a a fantastic compiliation having extract of both sides, was Cody Black Keep On Keeping On, other side of the Pat Brady monster that is Slowly Molding, a rumbling mumbling magnificent Detroit mid tempo thing that has the Mr Gilly Gilbert written all over it. Completely new to my ears until then and I couldn't find it on You Tube etc. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Corbett80 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 'Nightmares' the flip of 'Little Angel' by The Peformers on Sir Graham is nice - if you skip past the scary noises first the first 20 secs 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

ZootSuit Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Had Earthquake - Al TNT Braggs on the old UK Action label for 30 years. Couple of years ago saw 'How long can you hold on' Al Braggs on a dealer listing.U Tubed it, excellent, purchased it, disc arrived, a US Peacock copy, flipped it, bugger me, Earthquake on 'tother side, much rummaging through collection to find Action copy.....SOD IT, I already had it on Action !!!!!.30 YEARS AND HAD NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT, OR PLAYED THE B SIDE, now I actually prefer it, and the bonus is it doesn't sound like a bowl of rice crispies.

Mal C Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Flip of bobby sheen 'sweet sweet love' is a killer crossover 45, better than dr love by a country mile... Had John Bowie, don't remember there being anything much on the flip, but then tastes change over time don't they... I do love curry sauce with me chippies.... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulstu Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Everybody's flipped this I guess but how good is Hurry Sundown on the back of I Don't Want To Discuss It. Part Soul, part cowboy film soundtrack - WHAT a vocal performance! Love it. With a voice like that I often wonder what other awesome soul records he would have made in the 60s if he'd toned down the good time rocknroll stuff. Imagine him singing on some proper detroit stuff (not that he wasn't surrounded by great musicians at OKeh & Brunswick etc...) You're all going to point out all his great soul sides now aren't you?!!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest United Sound Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) It as been mentioned before somewhere that a great deal of American releases during the 60's opted for an up-tempo track on one side and a slower ballad type track on the other in the hope that the radio stations would "flip the record over" if not happy with the official topside. This sometimes worked for artists (possibly the most famous, although from a different genre/era was Gloria Gaynor - I will survive). With regard the NS scene, in the early days (before NS was its name) both up-tempo (Rufus Lumley) and down-tempo (Jerry Jackson), released on British labels and was the norm. Then when NS was truly born the majority of sounds played were largely up-tempo (though not exclusively). It would seem that the slower tempo (and in a lot of cases) the b side to former sounds were then (re)discovered alongside new mid/down-tempo tracks. I myself used to always turn the record over if only to check whether I had got "Two for the Price of One" (excuse the pun), but more famously in the circles I associated with was Steve Smith form Northants, who would introduce countless people to sides that had not been heard played out loud before (remember records sound totally different played in different surroundings), a practice that should be encouraged more (IMO).

Steve Plumb Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The thread is about B sides you seldom hear (good or bad) so here's one for you The other side of Life - Tell me why - Reprise Always seen as as double sided demo and same for the boots - the original issues have a proper B side...........................problem is, its kack. I remember buying the issue and praying the B side would be good but no, it wasnae! Cheers Steve 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mal C Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Kack! laughs...Same as the colour of the label (Issue), so that should have followed... The flip of June Jackson on Musette is a great track, 'Bottoms Up' its just the lyrics are kack...No really its a great track; no it is.... That United Sounds - It's All Over (Baby) that Butch plays, one came up for sale on ebay not that long ago didn't it, and luckily for us, the seller put MP3's of both sides with the ad ... so you get a very nice slowie 'And When It's Over'... His voice reminds me of Chuck Freeman of the Drivers on American International, that 'Blackbird in Despair'.. great 45, actually the flip of that, the beginning is brilliant, intense horns... but then it drops and goes dare I say Kack... Wondered whether The Bitter & the Sweet - P.O.W., is the flip of 'I wont Have any Babies for You' got POW on a CD from Buey some years ago, I have no idea what 45 its linked to.. Bits 'n Pieces - Did I scare You, is that a flip of Keep On Running Away? never owned it so no idea, surley that group have nice things lying in wait on the other side.. A flip I started listening to recently, cheap one as well, Bobby Jones & The Para-Mounts - Check Me out, flips with Beware a Stranger of course, Great track.. They are out there folks...

boba Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 keep on running away and did i scare you are two separate bits and pieces 45s.

I rate 'Did I scare you' it came out before KORA and it's like a proto version - I love it, should get more spins? Got to disagree Boba - the 'other' version of 'It won't work out baby' by LaVern is fantastic and is the BEST version by a country mile (imho). Crossover perfection!
