It seems to have caught everyone`s imagination this thread, here` a few more which must be included.
Armagideon Time, The Clash
Please Don`t Pretend Again, The Honeycombs.
Bored Teenagers, The Adverts
Psycho, Elvis Costello(All would have been hits)
I agree with Ting a ling a Loo, by Benny Hill, that was a complete waste sticking the obvious follow up to a massive freak hit on the back of it.
Arguably, it might have made it a bigger hit though.
It is still one of the only records that I can`t play just one side of, it has real "turnoverability".
It is of note with the minor vinyl re-emergence, in the 50 or so singles I have bought in the last 12 months, I have not played one of the "B" sides more than once. |

Here's some of my favourite fun B-sides from my earlier vinyl.
Pull Together - Alvin Stardust
Ting-a-ling-a-loo - Benny Hill
Gambling Man - Carl Douglas
Butch Soap - Yin and Yan
Rock is Dead - Laurie Lingo and the Dipsticks
Holy Diploma, Batman - Staight A's - Neil Hefti |

"One Way Or Another", brilliant example.(album track though I think, so nil points)
Who can recall the "A" side without though looking it up? |

Mine would be:
Shameless - Pet Shop Boys
One Way Or Another - Blondie
The Start/I Don't Remember - Peter Gabriel
I'm sure there are plenty more! |
