If you have a copy of Devo's WHIP IT, make sure you check out the B side, "Turn Around"

It's a great song with all of the Devo-lightful essence included. The bass is also much better in my juke than it is in the below vid:



PS there are some brief glimpses of classic pins in the vid!

Share your featured 'B' side of the day!
 
ugh. BITD when i got my first juke( a wurlitzer americana) the only record i had was alan parsons project eye in the sky single.

By the time i was done, i bet i heard gemini about 100 times by the time i was done..

btw, that devo song is cool, cool vid too. Looks like they were tree hugging back before it was popular to do so heh..

I just got this one:
Anthrax - Indians

B side is a remarkable cover version of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
Didn't think it was possible for this song to sound more powerful.
And it was $10 cheaper than the Black Sabbath version.

(sorry, I don't know how to post videos yet)
 
its easy man... go to youtube, find the vid... check the url...


in your case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3KPshdDN4

so what you do is copy everything after the equal sign... so in this case thats yi3KPshdDN4



so what you do is this.. ( i have to misspell this to make it show up ok when you do it type "youtube" properly...

[yoooooutube] yi3KPshdDN4 [/yoooooooutube] you put the letters and numbers in between those youtube brackets..


and thats all it takes.. lets give it a try..




its the same concept when you post pictures here... except you use the full image url and put it inbetween a bracketed img and /img

uh.... hells yeah man!! man that just screams "rolling in my 75 cadillac" right there... forgot how nice that song was to jam to..
 
Whats up with the two black belt chicks? lol

Tell you what for a B side that sure did get a lot of radio play in the day!
 
I've always loved that song but until recently didn't know it was Gary Wright. Never equated it with the 'Dream Weaver' singer.

I heard the song on a local radio station a few months back, they play alot of lost classics from the 70s and 80s (Jack FM, 102.7). When they played the song, I looked it up and found out it was by Gary Wright. It hit me later that I had the DW 45 in the Juke already, and never bothered to look at what the B side was... Sure enough, it was Love Is Alive! I was stoked.
 
Today's featured 'B' side comes from Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" 45: the flip side is "You'll Never Be So Wrong". I never heard the song before listening to the 45, but how can you go wrong with Kim Wilde anything??

Not to be a music trivia snob or anything but, 'Love Is Alive' was defiantly not a B side originally. The record you have is from one of Warner Brothers 'Back to Back hits' series. (It may state this on the label) It's basically a reissue with a hit song on each side. Much the same as Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze/Foxy Lady.


Thanks Cadillacman for the 'youtubetorial'. I'll give it a try.

Todays suggestion for B side of the day is from Nazareth's Love Hurts
(a cover of the old Everly Brothers track later made into a hit single by Roy Orbison)

The B side of this single featured the rockin' title track from Nazareth's 1975 album Hair Of The Dog.



It features an ample amount of cowbell too!
 
ladies and gentlemen, time to get the led out...

"hey hey what can i do" was ( i believe) a b side for one of the led zep 3 songs.. um, i want to say it was the b side to "immigrant song" but i might be wrong..

I believe you are correct. That's the way I have it on my 45. Nice choice!
 
whats funny is that i was born in 1980 and grew up with all the synth pop krap, but to be honest, even as a little kid the 60s and 70s stuff was always my favorite.

Can't disagree with that. I'd hate to be considered to have a "pigeonholed" musical preference.

I've a collection of records of my personal choice in 2 jukeboxes, ranging from Big Band Standards, Doo-wop, 50/60s Pop, Motown and 70/80s Pop but nothing of a lot that came later that I'd described as "unmelodic."
Many of my favourites, I've put on Youtube.

But as we're talking "B" sides, what amazes me is that this "B" side I put on has had nearly 3,500 hits in less than a year. So people must be looking for it. But I'm not surprised as in my opinion it is a great song.

hell yeah man motown is cool too. i like some but not all 50s stuff.. the frickin music has a soul if that makes sense. You cant say the same for justin beber and all this throwaway krap out there today.
 
Motown is pretty good but, Stax & Volt had the real deal.
Booker T & the MG's were the house band on most of them singles.
They didn't call it Hitsville USA for nothing! You whipersnapers might recoginize some of them from the Blues Brothers movie.

How about this pair of rock staples from 1958?






Both of these songs were originally released as B sides.
Yes, it's true!
