Don't you miss getting B-sides?

I have been buying prince music almost 25 years now and I knew that if Prince came out with a single you better get the 45 for on the flip side there would be a non-lp track on it. Now there are no more b-sides from Prince. I think the last b-side was rock and roll is alive from the gold single (10 years now). I miss the good old days, what about you? Anybody relate???

I miss B-sides, for sure. nod

And I have a lot of respect for bands/artists who still chuck out new tunes as B-sides.

Damn remixes - new money for old rope. 99 times out of 100 they're a bag of shite. hrmph

And album cover art! Sometimes it was so nice you wanted to frame it.

Absolutely! I really enjoyed it last year when he gave us "virtual" b-sides. Not quite as cool as getting a new single, but it was better than nothing!

It was kewl to receive non-album tracks on the B sides.
