As someone who was around back then I can assure you, back in the days of vinyl flipping a record never felt like opening a secret door.

Quite a few of the members of Booker T. & the M.G.s went on to form the backbone of The Blues Brothers.

I would add : "La Bamba" It was originally issued in 1958 as the b-side to 'Donna', a song that Valens wrote as a tribute to his girlfriend Donna Ludwig.

Time has flown. It wouldn't even be kid's parents who remember these fantastic songs. It'd be their grandparents. Heck. Maybe even their great-grandparents. Dang I'm old.

I had a friend who had over 4,000 45s. He catalogued them like a library. We loved going to his house and spending hours listening to every type of music imaginable. He collected what made the top of the charts.

Every time I bought a 45 in the 60s and 70s, right after I played the "A" side, I flipped it over and played the "B" side. I found a lot of great songs that way. When I bought "Laughing" by The Guess Who I found "Undun". When I bought "Help!" I found "I'm Down". I did it until I stopped buying 45s and started buying CDs.

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favorites. But the B-side, "I'm In Love With My Car," is one kick-ass hard rock song!<br>Oh, and there's no way Fleetwood Mac's "Silver Springs" is bigger than its A-side, "Go Your Own Way." NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Remember the Edgar Winter song Frankenstein? I was amazed when I played the B side and listened to Free Ride! 😎

You missed one of the best early examples. in 1960, Decca released "That's All You Gotta Do" by Brenda Lee. The flip side was "I'm Sorry", which went to #1, while the intended A side made it to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
