How many great B sides do you remember discovering once a record was bought. I remember discovering " Black Jack David " on the flip of " Ubangi Stomp " and loving it.
Also, " You Win Again " on the Jerry Lee Lewis " Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On ". I loved these songs. Oh yeah..." Can't believe You Want To leave " Little Richard's B side

By Musicchef (68.104.25.189) on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 07:58 pm:

heh... I just posted one to the other "unknown song" discussion...

Sad Tomorrows - Marvin Gaye (The vocal "gymnastics" on that track should be required listening to ANY group wanting to record)

Fireball - Mercy (the guitar shredding instrumental to the mellow "Love Can Make You Happy")

Black Water - Doobie Brothers (the flip to "Another Park, Another Sunday)

more to come...

I wrote up about "fave songs that weren't too popular...etc" and included Jackson 5(should have been The Jacksons') "Blues Away" --- this was/is the b-side to "(Let Me Show You) The Way To Go".
At least on my uk 7" anyway.....if u pardon the expression.

Which CD is Marvin's "Sad Tomorrows" on?
Thanks again for sending me those great pics. of Jackie!

By Eli (151.197.218.227) on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 08:22 pm:

Des,

On the J5 songs you mentioned, it was us (MFSB) as the backing band.
It was the first time that the guys had any creative input on a session.

By Musicchef (68.104.25.189) on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 08:41 pm:

S.S: The Marvin track was the b-side to "Mercy Mercy Me". It's on the new remaster of "What's Going on" (the 2 disc version with the Detroit mix that I haven't gotten yet due to financial issues). I used to play the grooves outta that song. NP on the Jackie pictures. I like to share and I'm sure that PoPsie is happy with me sharing his work to the world via the web.

Des: That's my fave Jacksons song as well. I remember WDAS in Philly used to play that as an LP cut and I taped it off of the radio in a rinky dink cassette recorder (where was Napster then).

Bobby: that's RIGHT ! that was the union of Epic/Philly International. I dug most of the cuts from that collaboration (Going Places, Enjoy Yourself, etc). You'll have to tell me the REAL story sometime about the Thom Bell/Elton John sessions.

By Flo Murdock (68.51.16.147) on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 08:52 pm:

I Thank the Moon by the Crests
A Shot of Rhythm & Blues by Arthur Alexander
Keep the Hall Light Burning by the Statues
I Need You So - Tommy McLain

Loved all these as much as the hit sides, in the McLain case, even more

By Des (81.152.238.45) on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 08:58 pm:

Mr.Eli/ I'd really forgotten that fact !!!
Do you know if "Blues Away" was the first MJ-penned song the Group recorded??
I'm now presuming the writing credit is fair - yes?
Anyway,the a-side was a UK #1 , as I'm sure you're aware and when I played the b-side (all those years ago) , I remember thinking MJ may turn out to be musically interesting as well as dynamite performer/dancer....when 'Off the Wall' came a coupla years later,that seemed like a good call......
I felt Blues Away was ahead of its' time - did it feel significant or were other tracks off "the Jacksons" album more interesting to sit in on??
Thanks for the reminder - I'm embarrassed at having overlooked that fact.
Des

By Eli (151.197.218.227) on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:08 pm:

The whole project as well as the next one were both a pleasure to have been involved in.

There was a welcoming party held at Lebaron Taylor's home on the Sunday before the sessions were to start.
Lebaron was head of the CBS Black music division at the time and was my neighbor.

Double dynamite from Revilot Records, Detroit.

By acooolcat (61.58.181.63) on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 07:20 am:

David - I remember Frank Bryant (Just Brothers ) telling me a story about when he visited the UK with Junior Walker back in the 70s. He was in some Northern venue when that record was played and was totally blown away - hearing that flip-side which he thought nobody would know. Frank used to play the flip and loved it... it must have been a nice, but big, surprise.

By Ritchie (62.254.0.9) on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 08:34 am:

An absolute Detroit stone classic: The Reflections - Comin' At You (B-side to Poor Man's Son.) The A-side is a so-so pop song, IMO. Gimme that fantastic flip any day! :o)

By stephanie (64.63.221.180) on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 09:55 am:

My fave B Side is Going Down for the Third Time by Diana Ross and the Supremes it was the flip side of Reflections

and my second favorite is The Crystal Ship by the Doors it was the flip of Light My Fire,,

By Fury13 (12.2.196.17) on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 05:49 pm:

I really liked "I'll Wait For You" by The Originals, the B-side of "The Bells" (1970)

By Nish (66.119.34.39) on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 01:51 pm:

I really love "A Fork In The Road" by the Miracles'. That's the greatest Motown B-Side ever.

By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 03:24 pm:

I'm with R&B regarding the Smokey & the Miracles B-sides.

Also throw in the Jackson 5 b-sides 1969-1974:
"Who's Lovin' You" (single version)
"One More Chance"
"I Found That Girl"
"She's Good"
"I'm So Happy"
"I Will Find A Way"
"It's Too Late To Change The Time"

Marvin Gaye's rendition of "I Wish It Would Rain" - the B-side of "Let's Get It On".

Kool & the Gang's "Chocolate Buttermilk" (b-side of "Let The Music Take Your Mind") & "More Funky Stuff" (a-side should be obvious!)

Main Ingredient - "Magic Shoes" (B-side of "Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling In Love)")

The Association - "Don't Blame It On Me", "Sometimes" & "Requiem For The Masses" (the flipsides of "Cherish", "Windy" and "Never My Love", respectively).

All Beatles' B-sides....

And here's one for Ralph Terrana:
"Basin Street Blues" - Jimmy Smith (the flip-side of his Grammy-winning tune "The Cat")

Kevin Goins - KevGo

By john c (12.2.233.107) on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 05:41 pm:

Stephanie

Chrystal Ship is a good one. I also liked Love Street the flip of Hello I Love You.

Also,

I See The Light the flip of Little Bit Of Soul by the Music Explosion.

And wasn't Undun the flip of Laughing /Guess Who originally?

God Only Knows (the best BB cut ever) the flip of Wouldn't It Be Nice in the US. I think it was the A side in the UK.

By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 05:50 pm:

John C:
"Undun" was originally the b-side of "Laughing" by the Guess Who. Both sides charted here in the USA ("Laughing" at #10 Pop, "Undun" at #22 Pop) yet it seems that "Undun" received more airplay.
Kevin Goins - KevGo

By john c (12.2.233.107) on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 06:20 pm:

Thanks Kevin,

I don't have my records or Joel Whitburn books here at work, so I'm relying on memory.

By Ralph (209.240.198.62) on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 06:59 pm:

Kev,
Thanks for the Jimmy Smith B side. I know the song.

By J5Collector (66.188.87.80) on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 07:21 pm:

KevGo mentioned J5 B-sides (great for us Jermaine fans as he most often had the lead vocals on these), and that reminds me that there are two different versions of "She's Good" on the B-side of "Never Can Say Goodbye." Some copies were released without any backing vocals whatsoever, just Jermaine's lead, and others with the J5 backing vocals as heard on the LP version.

On the subject of the Jackson 5, I like "You've Changed," the B-side of their first Steeltown release, "Big Boy." It was re-recorded for their first Motown LP.

By saigai (12.91.149.21) on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:58 am:

JohnC and Kevgo I could marry both of you!!! I thought I was the only person who was into the Guess Who and that lovely lovely song by The Association..Requiem for the Masses!!!! This is why I wish I had the money to fly out there and meet all of these people. Im a Guess Who Fanatic and I have friends in Canada who sent me their concert on video..I think Burton Cummings has one of the best voices from FM radio..do you all remember Stand Tall? What a great record!!! John C I think Love Street was one of Morrisons best..Im telling you if that guy hadnt gotten hooked up into drugs he would still be making great music with the other Doors!!! He was very talented and good looking before the stuff got to him,,what memories,,

By Handsome (170.118.157.134) on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 06:12 pm:

B side of Sweet Inspirations'-Sweet Inspiration, "I'm Blue" (Ike & Tina tune)

By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 07:02 pm:

Stephanie:
I've been a fan of the Association since I bought the 45 of "Along Comes Mary" released on the Valiant label.

The group always had quality B-sides because they made quality music. "Requiem" was an anti-war song their leader Terry Kirkman wrote in 1967. They performed the song on a Murray The K TV special here in NYC while the A-side "Windy" was flying high on the charts.

You should check out their double-CD anthology on Rhino called "Just The Right Sound". Also, Collector's Choice Music reissued their original Valiant/Warner Brothers albums on CD recently (available through mail order).

Kevin Goins - KevGo

(PS - marriage proposal accepted but I don't share! )

By Stephanie (64.63.221.81) on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 07:18 pm:

Hey KevGo
I saw the Association in the 90s and there were only two original members and in the 80s I saw them with the original members I think 4 of them and I know the Chinese guy is still there and Im telling you they rocked the house with Six Man Band and their regular hits!!! The Chinese guy had his SON doing the sound and that is when I realized how time flies!!!!
Im a day at a time
Im a day at a time
Im a seeker and a knower in a six man mind,,
and the guitar after that is great..for people who say the Association couldnt rock they dont know what they are talking about. If you listen to the guitar in the beginning of Along Comes Mary its one of the most rousing beginnings Ive ever heard. Its no Jimi Hendrix but its catchy and its adorable. Along with the Beach Boys they were one of the most harmonius groups Ive ever heard. I know a lot of people like God Only Knows by the Beach Boys and Im one of those people who didnt care for the surf stuff but fell in love with songs like Darlin, Sail On Sailor (and on TV I see Mr Jimmy Buffett (and Im NO Jimmy Buffett fan) did a pretty good remake) and I like everything on Pet Sounds.

When it comes to B sides I used to be a fanatic and got away from it. I remember on Standing on the Verge of Getting it On ..Parliament had a b side that I liked called Jimmys Got a little bit of Bitch in him. I didnt like the words but I liked the music....

To add to the Association stuff here, I would LOVE to form a retro video company to do flash animation to the oldies and I already have a few songs picked out. The first one I would love to do is "Everything that Touches You" with the animation style that is on the cover of the "Birthday" LP. Kev, how expensive would it be to lease a song for that purpose ?

"I Can't Live Without You" flip of "Gotta' Give Her Love" by the Volumes
"I Want A Woman" flip of "Village of Love" by Nathaniel Mayer

Stephanie,

I'm already attached but thanks for the offer. Actually my wife and I have vastly different musical tastes (she likes Michael Bolton and the Backstreet Boys!) so maybe someday...

Anyway, I don't think that Chinese guy in the Association is Chinese, (I'm part Chinese by the way). He is Larry Ramos who I assume has a Hispanic background.

My favorite latter day BB song is "'Til I Die" which is also one of Brian Wilson's favorites. I think his daughters covered it. Jerry Scheff played bass on Along Comes Mary and played a big "clam" that they wouldn't let him redo. I don't have a copy so I can't say I've heard it. And Burton Cummings voice was the main attraction of the Guess Who, especially after Randy left.

By STUBASS (152.163.252.68) on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 10:53 am:

Good Morning Stu: What can I say...I have moments of weakness, (and there were no A side conversations going on)! Actually, I thought I handled my loss of "angelness" with a certain amount of dignity! Don't worry about Stephanie, she'll be back...KevGo says he doesn't share. I'm not sure exactly what he meant by that but...it can't be good!
By the way, your explanation was actually coherent...and I only got about two hours of sleep last night, so I'm giving you credit on this one!

By douglasm (68.113.13.31) on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 11:20 am:

If we're going to talk about Association and Guess Who, I don't feel so out of place with....
....."Let's Go Away For Awhile", the flip side of "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, a little noted Brian Wilson gem that fits in the "Pet Sounds" era perfectly.

John C & Stephanie:
The Association's Larry Ramos is Mexican-American, as John indicated. Larry was a member of the New Christy Minstrels prior to joining the Association in 1967.

The "Classic Association" (1966-69) line-up were:
Terry Kirkman (leader, woodwinds) - lead singer on "Cherish"
Jerry Alexander (guitar) - replaced by Larry Ramos in 1967; returned to the group in 1969 (Larry stayed)
Jim Yester (guitar, keyboards)- sang lead on "Along Comes Mary" & "Everything That Touches You"
Russell Giguere (guitar) - shared lead vocal on "Windy" & "Never My Love"
Larry Ramos (guitar) - replaced Jerry Alexander in 1967; shared lead vocal on "Windy" & "Never My Love"
Brian Cole (bass) - died in 1972
Ted Bluechel (drums)

I also saw them in the early 1980s when the group (except for Brian) reunited for an American Bandstand special.

DetroitDar:
I was kidding when I said I "didn't share" - it was pertaining to Stephanie's "marriage proposal" (would I want to share my "wife" with anyone? ).

Stu:
Don't worry, pal - you have enough "Angels" in you midst. They won't leave you lonely for long!

"Let Me In Your World"--both the O'Jays version (as the flip to "Looky Looky") and the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes version (as the flip to "If You Don't Know Me By Now")

and one for my fellow Northern fans:
"Make Sure (You Have Someone Who Loves You)" by the Dells (flip to "Does Anybody Know I'm Here")

As always, more to come as I think of 'em!

Best,

Mark
