B-SIDES 

VA - Besides the Other B-Sides (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3+CD4+CD5+CD6

You don’t hear the term B-side much these days. Back in the day (as they say), a B-side was a song placed on the back of a single with the A-side – the song intended to be a hit on the radio, on the front.  Even as vinyl has made a comeback, the art of a double-sided single has been lost outside of collector circles. Still, it’s a rich part of rock and roll history. Some of the greatest recordings of all time began their life as B-sides. It’s a lost art form. Thus, some fan favorites may have gotten lost in the shuffle. (cleveland.com)

Now that physical singles are rarely released, many would assume that B-Sides have been rendered redundant, but that seems to be missing the point. B-Sides have never just been about making sure the back of a 45 isn’t blank. In many cases, they offer a deeper glimpse into an artist’s depths and what they are working on beyond the glare of the singles charts. They can be an unexpected treat, prognostic glance at the future direction of an artist, or a track that goes on to trump its flipside, big brother, no matter what, they are always interesting. Their glory days may be behind them, but with more and more bands releasing B-Side bolstered reissues and bumper gift boxes chocked with charming little 45s, the B-Side will forever linger on, like the unknown glory on the dark side of the moon. 

Whilst there are a lot of B-sides don't see the light of day after their initial release. Here are a bunch of quality B-Sides that all deserve another listen. Some are too good to forget. Very, very few of these selections have been placed on Albums but were still true B-sides. So, besides the other B-sides that that may appear in additional volumes of B-sides, I hope you will enjoy this selection.
