have we done this already?

great a-sides or b-sides...but the flip is awful! what's the worse-

The b side to the Boss four walking by is by the earthmen and it's really physcadelic and weird.

Isn't it the instrumental to 'Walking By'...?

This one has always grated. Worthy message I know, but just a MOR stinker.

 

Wild Times. The flip to Rita & the Tiaras. Ridiculous!

I'm not sure if 'Hurting' is such  a great  side but the other side is truly bad. No wonder it's rare, probably sold 3 copies, 2 of which were returned for a refund!

I'm going to say Del-larks ... but I really can't decide which side I hate more ... 

Interesting b side on George Pepp’s sublime The Feeling is Real 

 

The  flip side to "Unsatisfied" is a dismal little tune.  Making it worse is the fact this was the intended A side- 

 

I do like the French Fries - Danse A La Musique" but understand lot's of folks don't!

However, the B side must take some beating in this category. Have a listen. It's BAD.

 

Rose Brooks “l’m moanin’” has a version of “They’re coming to take me away” on its A side

John E Paul :   flip it, for aural delight.

It's the backing but with weird dub like effects, from memory 

Hilarious imho, flip to true lovers complete with mockney accents.

 

 

 

Many of the B sides to 45's made by US pop singers are what you'd expect; pop pap.

But then, they were only cutting soul flavoured A side tracks coz that genre was 'flavour of the month' through much of the mid to late 60's. So they weren't really soul acts, just opportunists jumping on the bandwagon.

It is.  But it's a very strange version 🤔 

Yes...as you and Geeselad say,it certainly has a weird/psyche vibe about it....

.

same as this one, it's the flip side,and inst to... (you gotta do)What You Gotta Do by The Contenders...this inst has also been 'psyched up' 

I believe The Boss Four and The Contenders are one...?
