Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac"

It was B-side of one of the singles from "Born in the USA"

    re. .0
    
    'Echoes' on side 2 of 'Meddle' is regarded by many ( incl me ) as being
    what Pink Floyd were all about. It's the twee songs on side 1 which are
    rubbish....'One of these days' excepted.
    
    I never cared as much for the post 'Atom heart mother' albums.

    I'd agree with you, "Echoes" is definitely the one...actually, on their
    last tour (Momentary Lapse...) they use to start the gig off with this
    track, but after about 10 shows they replaced it with "Shine on...".
    
    I still think it would have a made a great encore...
    
    Incudently, most of my bootleg CDs of Floyd are pre-dark side, there's
    so much stuff about, some of it even of good quality !!

    You jest, surely. They didn't make _any_ good quality recordings;
    they're all twaddle, A sides and B sides both. Sorry, which band are we
    talking about?

    On my copy of Soulmining, the last track on the B side is Uncertain
    Smile.
    I agree, though, an excellent B side, and IMO it far surpasses the A
    side.

    Shifting uneasily in his bath chair, he recalled the days when a good
    proportion of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry etc records
    were double A sides.
    
    In them days, yer got value for yer 2/6d.

     The tape version of "Soul mining" has six additional tracks ,which are
    (to say the very least) completely at odds with the "normal" album
    tracks.
    
    "Low" by Bowie is another good example of going from a "normal" A side
    to complete weirdness by flipping the disc i seem to remember.
     Also "scary monsters" A side is BRILLIANT then loses it all on the B
    side.There must be more that a cannot remember at present that are not
    Bowie albums.

    "Paint Her Face" was a great B-side to The Records' "Starry Eyes."

    The B side of Bowie's "Low" ( or was it (Nick) Lowe's "Bowi" :-) )
    get's my vote over the A Side anyday. Just the sort of stuff you'd
    imagine would be piped into padded cells at mental hospitals.

    Also my copy of The Cure's "Faith"(i think?) has a soundtrack on it
    called "Carnage visors"(dont know what it is the soundtrack to but it
    must be bloody strange given the noise/music on the B side)
    
                         Stretch.

Stretch, that's the cassette only. The Cure's cassette of Concert has a
b-side of "Curiosities", this set of live material is culled from Robert
Smith's personal collection.

	B-side lovers,

	For all lovers of legendary B-sides, I recommend 'The Buzzocks'
	and 'The Undertones', who both produced a series of unequalled
	B-sides (better than the A-sides) in the early 80's.

	They are - I think - all available on LPs.	

	


	Paul Weller. 

    
    
    	I'll go along with .13, the Undertones B-sides were
    	brilliant.

    Another good B-side is the 1966 hit by Napoleon XIV, "They're coming to
    take me away, Ha-haa!!". 
    The title of the flip?
    
    	"!!aah-aH ,yawa em ekat ot gnimoc er'yeht" by VIX noelopaN.
    
    What!! Exactly, the entire record backwards. Mind bending stuff.

    Ah yes, 1966, the year of our World Cup triumph, Aberfan, and the
    Beatles' 'Paperback Writer', with it's mighty B-side 'Rain', which was
    later covered by Bob (the band) on their 'Stride Up' ep, and pretty
    well they do it too.
    
    Bob

    Chapterhouse covered Rain as well on their Sunburst EP and that was
    good as well.

    The B Side of Scott McKenzie's 'San Francisco (Be sure to wear some
    flowers in your hair)' was a great song called 'What's the Difference'.
    Could have become a folk-rock classic if it it been released by someone
    else! I can almost hear a jangly Byrds version in my mind.
    
    I have an LP by Scott M and San Francisco is about the only thing he
    sings in tune! In fact I've often wondered whether he actually sang on
    this track. 
    
    Richard

    B side of "How Come" by Ronnie Lane is "Go and Tell Everyone" plus
    "Done this one before".  Amazing sax (Jimmy Jewel).  Never play the
    A-side now.

    "Barbecutie" - b-side of Sparks' "This Town..." 1974.

    I saw both songs on a Sparks compilation recently and was tempted.

    - Tim
    

"Lets Submerge" - X-Ray Spex, B-side of "Identity"
"Satellite" - Sex Pistols, B-side of "Holidays in the Sun"
"Armagideon Time"- The Clash - B-side of "London Calling"
"Dead Souls" - Joy Division - Original B-side of "Atmosphere"
"Pssyche" - Killing Joke - B-Side of "Wardance"

Dave

"Dance Master" b-side to "Do You Know" by Secret Affair.

Or was it the other way around?
