History lesson

I was tidying my bookcase and found this today. It made me think that although most of my friends are musical in one way or another, about half won't have every used one and a good percentage wont even know what it is.

Its a single or 45RPM vinyl record.

We still use the word single but I guess now it means buying just one track on Itunes. What is missing from this is the famous "B Side", some were bad, some great and quite a few very very odd.

Do you remember

There ain't half been some clever Bastards on the B side of Hit me with your rhythm stick by Ian Dury

Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonite on the B side of Man of the World by Fleetwood Mac

Im sure more will come to me during the rest of the day :)
