B-SIDES

VA - Beside The Other B-Sides (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CDs)

B-Sides are often the hidden gems of Rock and Roll. Some of the most iconic songs in rock and roll history were not originally intended to be hits. They were B-sides, the songs that were relegated to the flip side of a single, often overshadowed by the A-side, the song that was supposed to be the main attraction. But sometimes, the B-side turned out to be a surprise hit, a cult classic, or a fan favorite that revealed a different side of the artist.

This compilation celebrates the B-sides, the hidden gems that deserve more recognition and appreciation. From the early days of rock and roll, when 45 RPM records were the main medium of music consumption, to the digital era, when B-sides are still being released as bonus tracks or online exclusives, this collection showcases the diversity and creativity of rock and roll artists who dared to experiment, explore, and express themselves beyond the boundaries of commercial success. Whether it’s a song that was too edgy, too personal, too political, or too weird for the mainstream, or a song that simply didn’t fit the mood or theme of an album, these B-sides offer a glimpse into the artistic vision and evolution of some of the greatest names in rock and roll history. 

So, besides the other B-sides compilations I have posted previously, here are 120 B-sides tracks that prove that sometimes, the best things are hidden in plain sight. Enjoy!
