Although I like all the eras, I think the "1999" b-sides were great!

How come u don't call me anymore
Horny toad
Irresistible bitch


Irresistable Bitch and HCUDCMA are 2 of my fave b - sides.

Was Horny toad an actual b-side though? I thought it was one of those "well known bootlegs!" or along the lines of "Gotta stop messin' about"

Not a favourite. Prefer Delerious which it is similar too.


Horny Toad was the B-side to Delirious (at least in the US).

Irresistable B.. cant really pin point one album cause it's stretched out on different ones.. i like Alexa de Paris too ..



Irresistable Bitch was the B-side to Let's Pretend We're Married and came out like 8 months before Purple Rain so isn't it tied to the 1999 album????

and 'She's Always in my Hair' isnt from that album either..



in the UK it was the B-side to Paisley Park, which is on the ATWIAD album, or have i missed the point here somewhere wink


In the US it was the B-side to Raspberry Beret so I don't see how "She's Always in My Hair" isn't a B-side from ATWIAD.

Every single b-side (especially as extended version) until the lovesexy album.

Then it stopped.

I was thinking the same thing. The Batman b-sides were great, especially the long stroke of "Feel u up"
Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

GB era, that had virtually no b-sides, none that i can remeber off hand anyway, but i am in my GB hating mood at the moment lol


GB had a few:
Get Off (notice the spelling)
Loveleft, Loveright
The Lubricated Lady

and remixed versions of New Power Generation and Thieves In The Temple.


There were also remixes of Melody Cool, Shake, and Round and Round

No. That was my first cd single, a little one.
For me it stopped, for somebody else probably not.
I don't have a clue which single had which b-side but I do remember that after 1988 there wasn't a flood of superb b-sides like before. In '88 I had taped, by coincidence, a couple of hours of a Dutch radioshow with most of his great b-sides, one didn't even know he had that many. After that the inventiveness just decreased. Like 300 balloons or escape, they became different, not my taste.
I'm not saying he didn't make any great b-side anymore but the abundance and the quality dropped. For me his golden era was Around the world in a day (Genius) and Parade (Luuuuuvvvvve). Even today they are pure quality.

I was thinking of the extended version of the Future I bought back then but it's not even a b-side. I thought that was a cool song, especially the end, turned up very loudly.

It's all a matter of taste.

Parade - because it had the best B-side of all time: Alexa de Paris.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

That's just something you understand with your heart, not with your head, don't you? Pure love, no-one can explain this.

I get chills every time I listen to it - even after 20 years. It is music written by a happy, happy man. cool

one could say that u can chalk that up 2 the way singles were released by record companies, b4 it was a great invention then came the thought pattern of it cost money 2 make singles became the norm and hence the concept of bsides drained

So this honey expert is walking by the wrekka store and sees an old vinyl album in the window called "Insects of the World." He goes in and asks if he can hear it. He gets all sorts of crazy sounds but he doesn't recognise any of them. When he complains to the shop-worker, the shop-worker says "Sorry sir, I'll just put on the Bee Side for you!"

Seriously, All the 80's 12" B-sides were awesome. Hello ext, SAIMH ext, Irresistible Bitch, 17 Days, Love or $ ext. All awesome.
