British B Sides From The 60's

Flying Machine and Woodstock (not B sides I hasten to add) are also crackers from their slim catalogue.

 

'Let Me Know' - the Tony Jackson Group; B-side of their first single on CBS, 'You're My Number One' (1966)

 

The B Side to The Love Affair's Everlasting Love in 1969 must have surprised those who flipped the disc. It is totally different.

I was surprised that a video was filmed for it.

Love Affair - Gone Are The Songs Of Yesterday

 

This song came up after the above. The Love Affair doing a great version of The Drifters "Please Stay".

I thought it must be a B Side but apparently merely an album track. I'm posting it anyway as it's in the spirit of this thread. The sort of track that is a perfect 60's B Side.

 

'Sun came bursting through my cloud' - Dantalian's Chariot; B-side of their only single 'The Madman running through the fields' (1967)


song by Tony Colton & Ray Smith, later of Heads Hands and Feet

 

How about this for a brooding, menacing slab of freakbeat by The Game.

 

'Simplified' - Twice as Much; B-side of their second single on Immediate 'Step Out of Line'

 

Never heard that version – I am more familiar with this more upbeat number... a Beach Boys-inspired take on the song.

 

The Majority's 'Simplifed' was actually the A side of the excellent 'One Third', but this B-side tapped into The Beach Boys' early hot-rod vibe...

 

'My Story - the Mockingbirds (1966)


Graham Gouldman song; B-side of the group's final single 'How to find a lover'

 

This song was used over the closing credits for the CBC series, "Schitt's Creek".

 

Surely the most perverse choice for a "B" side ever - the most commercial track from the album, passed over in favour of the least commercial! (Schitt's Creek a brilliant show btw).

 

'Leave Me Here' - the 23rd Turnoff; 1967 B-side of their only single, 'Michael Angelo'


with Jimmy Campbell; previously the Kirkbys

 

'I've Never Been So Much in Love' - the Kirkbys (1966) - B-side of their only UK single 'It's a Crime'

 

'Ask the People' - Denny Laine; B-side of his first solo single 'Say You Don't Mind' (1967)

 

Flip to It's Good News Week.

Hedgehoppers Anonymous - Afraid Of Love

 

Hedgehoppers Anonymous / That's the time

Another Jonathan King com[position from 1966. Flip to their Daytime single.

 

Flip to Stop Press:

Hedgehoppers Anonymous. Little memories

 

Robert Plant b Side from 1967. surprisingly good.

Robert Plant - I've Got A Secret

 

'Is This Your Way?' - the Fenmen (1966) B-side of their cover of 'California Dreamin'

 

Nirvana - 'I Believe in Magic'; B-side of their first single 'Tiny Goddess' (1967)



Nirvana [UK] - Tiny Goddess

 

That would be Mick Green of The Pirates on guitar, RIP Mick!

 

More Jimmy Campbell!

Dreaming by The Merseys. B-side of 'Lovely Loretta' from 1968.

 

Off the great Simon Simopath album too. What a stunning effort that was.

 

'Turn the Lights Down, Jenny' - Grant Tracy & the Sunsets (1963) B-side of their Decca single 'Everybody Shake'


early Pete Dello song
