The B Sides

Hi

I don't know if this has been done before but, there are many Northern Records which were actually B Sides.

The stunning B Side in a lot of cases now eclisipsing the A Side

Did the record companies allow more freedom to the artist and producers etc,

when it came to the B Side and thus create something more special.

Allowed to let the talent flow with less restriction or agenda.

Chubby Checker for instance appears to have been allowed to forget The Twist or which ever dance craze they were pushing on the A Side.

To record some brilliant B Sides.

Phil Spector famously threw his B Sides together. Concentrating totally on the A Side.

I originally bought "Barefootin'" as It was played at the Youth Club.

I didn't know until I played It that another record played at our Youth Club was on the B Side "Let's Go Baby"

One of my first Double Siders, "Lets Go Baby" has always been one of my favourite tunes. :thumbup:

Bet CC was more interested in the Twist than any of his brilliant B sides. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
