CITADEL FIRE SALE- TIME TO BRING BACK WARMLAND????

Tom,
No "B" sides except for The Beatles and Roger Miller.
Yonkstur
 
How about "New Blood," the B-side from either that record or something else that came out in '56-'57?
Wow, not only did you have to walk uphill to the station both ways, that was so long ago you had to fight dinosaurs and dragons along the way.

"B" side? Anyone under 40 has no idea. C'mon, Dave. OK, I'll indulge you with a question; did The Beatles ever have what amounted to a "B" side?

George Harrison usually got the B sides. Example: Old Brown Shoe which was the B side to the Balled of John & Yoke. The B side of Lady Madonna was the Inner light by George.
 
Did the Beatles ever have what amounted to a "B"side? The songs may have been released on the "B" side, but some were very successful hits.

For example, here are some "B" side songs:

1963: Ask Me Why, Thank You Girl, I'll Get You, I Saw Her Standing There • 1964: From Me to You, There's a Place, You Can't Do That, I Should Have Known Better, I'm Happy Just to Dance with You, If I Fell, Slow Down, She's a Woman • 1965: I Don't Want to Spoil the Party, Yes It Is, I'm Down, Act Naturally • 1966: What Goes On, Rain • 1967: Baby You're a Rich Man, I Am the Walrus • 1968: The Inner Light, Revolution • 1969: Old Brown Shoe • 1970: You Know My Name (Look up the Number), For You Blue • 1976: Helter Skelter • 1982: I'm Happy Just to Dance with You • 1986: There's a Place • 1995: I'll Follow the Sun / Devil in Her Heart / Boys, I Saw Her Standing There / This Boy / Christmas Time (Is Here Again) • 1996: Baby's in Black / Yellow Submarine / Here, There and Everywhere
 
What's a "B" side?

No really, when these records originally came out, weren't the radio copies mono or stereo side?

So will it be voice tracked or live? Oh wait, you can't voice track with records or carts can you? lol
 
Obviously tongue in cheek! DJ copies were stereo/mono. Consumer singles were A/B versions. You knew that, right? You can voice track with any medium once you digitize it. Even a 16 2/3 rpm. What? How about a wire recording? LOL!
 
My favorite Beatle "B" sides that were "there" but not quite as big as the "A" sides were:
"Paperback Writer/Rain", "She Loves You/I'll Get You" (on Swan REcords no less) and "Let It Be/You KNow My Name Look Up My Number".

Roger Miller had a lot of 2 sided hits in the mid 60s as I recall but I can't name them. Te label was Smash records though that had Bruce Cannel, Frankie Valli solo and the Angels, "hey na, hey na, my botfriend's back".

"No "B" sides except for The Beatles and Roger Miller."

Hey Yonk,

Let's have some fun with this! Surely you remember the listen call-in on WARM: "Hot or Not" (God I LOVED that!) Why not involve the audience with "To B or NOT to B". A phone line can be set aside and the listener can vote by pushing buttons. The results can be used to track listenership, who votes, how often, when, etc.

I KNOW this is possible. My son setup the system for a Telemundo model vote. It is amazing the amount of data the kid mined for them. (NOT to mention the "beauties" he saw.

Just a thought.

Do we need a radio station for this? No? Or can we do it on a site like this or any independent blog site.

B.S. (Before Stereo) we got dj copies with A and B sides. Our Sunday morning guy used to play the B sides all the time if he thought they were better. The PD used to have a fit. That's how some songs became hits; the B was better than the A. Perry Como used to have two hits on one disc for that reason.
 
"Do we need a radio station for this? No? Or can we do it on a site like this or any independent blog site."

Not sure. His database tracked voting via telephone. When a call came in it logged the vote, phone #, and time. Then he ran queries to determine who called more than once (over specified time span - since each vote was revenue ), traffic peak, etc.
It is fascinating for me to see the process. I'm sure web sites do this all the time - a primary device for this is the "cookie" they plant.

Oh, oh I hear snoring...sorry guys.
 
Technology has done away with something we enjoyed. The "B" side of the 45. Now there are only mixes of the original tune.
 
It's been a while so I can't remember.. Was "Rock and Roll" by Gary Glitter,the instrumental version which is more popular, the A or B side of the single. I can't remember if any other song had two versions by the same artist and the instrumental was the more popular.

The "A" side was R&R Part 1 which was the vocal version. The "A" side was a #1 hit in France. The more popular version was the "B" side-R&R Part 2. It was #2 in the U.K., #3 in Canada, and #7 in the U.S.

"In 1999, Glitter was convicted for downloading 4,000 child pornography pictures in the UK, and was afterwards listed as a sex offender. His reputation was greatly tarnished, and though he continued releasing new music, Glitter's popularity declined sharply. He was permanently evicted from Cambodia in 2002 for suspected child sexual abuse offences. He afterwards relocated to Vũng Tàu in Vietnam, and in March 2005 applied for permanent resident status. Later that year, he was arrested by Vietnamese authorities while trying to leave the country, and he was tried and convicted of child sexual abuse charges in 2005-06. Glitter's release date is August 2008 though in April 2007 his lawyer announced that he was appealing for a second time against the length of his sentence (having had it cut by 3 months in the first appeal."

On my show today, I was reading the "This day in history" segment and noted that Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" was released today. Also, that he had something like 17 records that were Top-40 hits on both the A and B sides.
 
A new blowtorch transmitter??? no problem, gotcha covered and cheap too....

Sorry, I should have been a bit more specific about my fuzzy thinking. Here's where I was at; was there a Beatles "B' side most all of us didn't know word for word from, say, '63 to '67, or maybe beyond? That make sense? Thank you for the opportunity to serve...
 
"was there a Beatles "B' side most all of us didn't know word for word from, say, '63 to '67, or maybe beyond?"

There is just too much knowledge for me to assume..... so:

UK B's

1962: P.S. I Love You • 1963: Ask Me Why, Thank You Girl, I'll Get You, This Boy • 1964: You Can't Do That, Things We Said Today, She's a Woman • 1965: Yes It Is, I'm Down • 1966: Rain • 1967: Baby, You're a Rich Man, I Am the Walrus • 1968: The Inner Light, Revolution • 1969: Old Brown Shoe • 1970: You Know My Name (Look up the Number) • 1976: I Should Have Known Better, Twist and Shout • 1982: I'm Happy Just to Dance with You, P.S. I Love You (reissue) • 1995: I'll Follow the Sun / Devil in Her Heart / Boys, Christmas Time (Is Here Again) • 1996: Baby's in Black

US B's

1963: Ask Me Why, Thank You Girl, I'll Get You, I Saw Her Standing There • 1964: From Me to You, There's a Place, You Can't Do That, I Should Have Known Better, I'm Happy Just to Dance with You, If I Fell, Slow Down, She's a Woman • 1965: I Don't Want to Spoil the Party, Yes It Is, I'm Down, Act Naturally • 1966: What Goes On, Rain • 1967: Baby You're a Rich Man, I Am the Walrus • 1968: The Inner Light, Revolution • 1969: Old Brown Shoe • 1970: You Know My Name (Look up the Number), For You Blue • 1976: Helter Skelter • 1982: I'm Happy Just to Dance with You • 1986: There's a Place • 1995: I'll Follow the Sun / Devil in Her Heart / Boys, I Saw Her Standing There / This Boy / Christmas Time (Is Here Again) • 1996: Baby's in Black / Yellow Submarine / Here, There and Everywhere

Enjoy....
 
First song on the REBORN 590 WARM? I'd go hack...

"Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay"

Either that or "Right Back To Where We Started From"

Or maybe "Get Back" (tie-in to the Beatles discussion above).

How about going out of format: Aerosmith "Back In The Saddle Again"
 
Ya gotta love the "concept" programming angle!

A listener can just listen and enjoy OR try to figure out the thinking behind the song choices. It gives the jock some influence too.

Please don't wake me: it's a great dream.
