Guest Darks Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I guess the classic one is the b side to Bobby Sheens "Doctor Love" on Capitol. "Sweet, sweet love" just a brilliant piece of mid tempo soul. Various progressive types have played it over the years but it still got alot of potential. Another favourite is the flip to Lou Rowls "Love is a hurting thing" "Memory lane" a slow sort of finger snapper with a bluesy feel, but don't let put you off, makes a great last record. Got the lot including harmonicas! Regards Alan Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 i like the topic! also interesting the question what influenced label owners decision on what to pick as a - and b-side. so often the determinded b-side is the title that´s more interesting to soul folks today... like for example jimmy helms - my little devil ruby johnson - weak spot, keep on keeping on, (think stax/volt pretty often picked a ballad for the a-side and put a nice upbeat-tune on the flip...? gene latter - funny face girl regarding good 2siders, i like jean wells - "the best thing for you baby"/"try me and see" lyn collins - "mama feelgood"/"fly me to the moon" jackie wilson - this love is real/love uprising etta james - tell mama/i´d rather go blind and thousands more i guess...

soulfulsaint Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Always preferred the flip side to the Case of Tyme's manic "Manifesto" ! '"SOME CALL IT LOVE" Absolute cracking dancer ! Another current example would be 'Gotta Wipe Away The Teardrops' the flip of Ollie Jackson's 'The Day My Heart Stood Still.' Think I still prefer 'Heart' but it does beg the question what impact a played 'B' side influences price too. Steinways, Larry Atkins etc etc?
