Ernie Andrews Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 What record did you buy or trade for a specific track only to find that the other side was either just as good or better. EG: Soul patrol - Save your love (Other side being- Need of love) 10 times better than- Save your love Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Djmelismo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) For me it has happened several times. I used to be a dj, which meant that I searched for uptempo danceable music, but personally, for homelistening purposes I have always preferred ballads or midtempo tunes. So many a time I bought a 7" with an uptempo A-side, but discovered an, in my opinion, far more interesting slowie tucked away on the B-side.

Gene-r Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) The Wheelsville issue of "With These Eyes" by the Fabulous Peps. "Love Of My Life" is awesome. And NO! It is NOT on the B-side of the Wee-3 release! I was a mug to swap my Wheelsville copy for the Wee 3 issue 20 odd years ago.........TONY SMITH, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE! The favours one does for friends sometimes.......D'OH! Edited March 15, 2007 by Gene-R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
BrianB Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Bought Tangeers Oheh issue of Whats the Use of Me Trying at the Casino in 74. Flipped it to find Let my Heart and Soul Be Free.

Guest OskarB Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Bought Valentines Breakaway on SS7 when i just had started to collect soul music, think i've played the other side If you love me more. Haven't listened to it for years though, dunno if i still like it. Will have to dig it out for a spin.

Steve J Quite agree on The Bronzetttes track, I was originally attracted to "Beggin'" as it has the same backing track as Jerry O's "Karate Boogaloo" if I remember rightly. As far discovering b sides for me it was the awesome b side to Shawn Robinson's "My dear heart" which is called "Find love right now" on Minit, to me years no decades to track down but now is one my most treasured 45's.

John Reed Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Bob Jones played Carol Anderson - I'll get off at the next stop on one of his Solar/Horizon shows and it completely blew me away (still one of my all time fav tracks). A quick call to Soul Bowl and it was in the post. I didn't flip it over for about a year and found Sad Girl on the other side. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Richard Bergman Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I bought Skip Jackson " i'm onto you girl" Dot Mar a long while back, without knowing that the wodnerful group soul of "promise that you'll wait" was lurking on the other side. I tend to buy alot of records for semi to unknown flip sides usually deep harmony stuff , which can become annoying as the prices escalate on big hitting or scene records when your only buying for one side. A case in point would be my purchase of Arthur Freeman on Jumbo....the a side is throwaway imo but the flip is deep soul perfection. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

John I never played the flip of Sad Girl - and sold the record a few years back - it was mint, always regret selling. Any chance of a clip of the flip? Cheers mate.

pikeys dog Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Bought Sheila Ferguson "Are You Satisfied" about 15 years ago... Heard Roger Banks playing "And In Return" at the Beehive (?) in Bradford a few years ago... got home and there it was on the shelves. What a cracking Result.

John Reed Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) A similar situation to the Carol Anderson. I had a tape of Rod Dearlove on I think a Steve Hobbs show, where Willie Johnson - It's me was played (I think it was the same show that Wilson Picket - I Want You was played) and another call to Soul Bowl. With the other side What am I going to do without your love - Savannah International. Bought Charles Brimmer - The Feeling is in my heart - Broadmoor. The other side is the absolutely fabulous Mr Teardrops Bought Bill Brandon - Rainbow Road - Tower, and the other side is a cracking bit of 60's "You've Got That Something Wonderful" Edited March 20, 2007 by John Reed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
