Back in the olden days of vinyl, did you ever listen to the flips-sides of your 45s? Did you find any songs you liked?

Heck yeah! Some of my favorite Iron Maiden tunes were B sides.

it's all about the flip sides..in my opinion, the flip sides are uaully where you find the most interesting music.

That's one thing I miss about vinyl. Investing a few dollars in a 45-rpm single could yield unexpected dividends. That's harder to do with CDs (too expensive), and I'm not into compressed (mp3) music. Here's one of my favorite B-sides (in a version I've never heard before....:-D...) . . .

Absolutely, although I can't think of one at the moment.

Both the "A" side and the flip side were hits. Elvis Presley - "Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog"

The Beatles had so many great songs, even the one that didn't make it to # 1 were very good +3

Yes I did, & sometimes I found songs I liked.

My favorite experience was when I bought a new 45 by the Surfaris called "Surfer Joe." On the flip side there was this interesting instrumental called "Wipeout." Also, it seemed like on just about every Beatles record I bought, both the A and B sides were hits.

I do recall a single released by "Ivor biggun and the red nose bunglers!" The "A" side had a song called "I'm a wanker!" which was banned by the BBC, so it was listed in the top of the pops under the name of the song on the "B" side. Then it went up to number one, and on the TV version of top of the pops so they had to get some people playing guitars to pretend to play the "B" side on TV.
