Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Turn It Over! - your fave B sides...

Ok Brian - looks sort of like a promo, but interesting nonetheless.


Lest we forget: Kraftwerk's The Model was lifted from TMM album to be made into a 'filler' B side - at least in the UK - to Computer Love in 1981, before becoming a single in its own right and getting to no. 1 in 1982.

That's a good one.

LA-LA-LA-LATE BAAAAR! LA-L-L-L-LA-LA-LA!

CHOON!

I'm glad you listened to ypour Uncle ivan Membs You've just got yourself a wee flashing Yellow triangle whilst your original thread is floundering I'll be making my steve Harley based contribution soon when I can find the link
Btw I shall be travelling from Liverpool to your native Hereford at the end of the month where i'll be picked up by anothe ex Lancastrian Off tpo his in malvern whence to chepstow to see the mighty Levellers at Chepstow on Bank Holiday Monday I'm pschying myself up for the concert by not washing for 3 weeks and buying a dog to which i will attach a piece of string

*lights a spliff and graffitis "Smash the Cistern" on nearest wall*

Ah well give my regards to Edgar Street and if you're travelling by car on the way to Elgar-land, maybe stop off for a quick "liquid luncheon" at The Chase in Bishop's Frome, or The Royal Oak at Leigh Sinton for want of a better hostelry. Natives friendly - English spoken.

*does quick Google search for Levellers* - ah! them! Well I'm sure it'll be a whole lotta fun. I hear they're running random passport checks o'er the Severn Bridge, boyo, so be on yer best behaviour.

Back OT: B side du jour:

OK Two for the price of one from me I think I've already mentioned GOME UP AND SEE ME(MAKE ME SMILE) STEVE HARLEY AND COCKNEY REBEL as my favourite ever number one on here Anywaty I bought the vinyl 45 back in the day and it featured this Another Journey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKZ43AIoqwc
However it was released in 1980 and the B side was just mind-blowing It is as if Joy Division and Queen had met in the pub and had gone back to Freddie or Ian's gaffe after closing time to write a song
It ìs epicly sweeping, gloomy, operatic nelancholic grandiose and life-afferming A real pearl.

I'm surpruised he never sued Sylviasn when he ripped most of it off for Night Porter
