Remember when you used to buy your 45 rpm records at your favourite record shop? You'd rush home to play them, including the B Side. In many cases, you became as familiar with the B side as the "hit" A Side. Today you may no longer have your 45 collection and maybe don't even have a turntable to play them on, and it's probably been many years since you've heard those wonderful B Sides. That's about to change!This week on Treasure Island Oldies, we're going to bring back some of those great memories for you as we present for the first time ever on the show, the Fabulous Flips - The B Sides!
Thanks for your email requests and suggestions for songs to play on this very special edition of the show. I've gone through my own personal 45 collestion to bring you some fantastic B Sides. On occasion those B Sides became a double sided hit; for example Ricky Nelson's Hello Mary Lou and Travellin' Man. In some cases the original A Side was flipped over in favour of the B Side, as with The Big Bopper. Chantilly Lace was originally the B Side and Purple People Eater (Meets The Witch Doctor) was the intended A Side. Whatever was the case, we will play both the A and the B Sides of some great records.
You'll "flip out" when you hear what's in store for you this week on Treasure Island Oldies. Listen LIVE this Sunday, March 25, beginning at 6 p./m. Pacific (9 p.m. Eastern) and later on the Archive.
This is going to be great! See you on Treasure Island Oldies for the Fabulous Flips!
