Wow you must be young. It is the flip side of a single either 12 inch or 7 inch. So if you bought the When Doves Cry single you got 17 Days on the B-Side as a non-album bonus to entice people to buy it.

it's a sad state of affairs when people no longer
know what a b-side is. The music industry is going
down the pan.

...awright. time 4 Prince On Vinyl 101! chaosman, pay close attention 2 me:

back in the olden days before cds, mini-discs and all that digitized mess, there was the joy that wuz albums on vinyl. i don't think i have 2 get in-depth about that, so lemme cut 2 the chase...uh, u know how nowadays they have cd singles that just have like one or two trax on 'em?

...okay.

back in the day it wuz the same thing, 'cept it wuz on vinyl.



as an example, i will use the 12" version of "let's work" (which is very tasty)...

u had your a-side (as seen below):



...and when ya flipped over the record, ya got your b-side. note the song. familiar, eh? nod



well umm, that's all 4 this session. your homework 4 tonight will be 2 listen 2 the b-sides cd, and study the track listings of said cd that are listed in the accompanying booklet. memorize all tracks and what the a-sides were 2 each track.

class dismissed. geek

Damn Handclaps. I'll give you 5... no wait... $6.00 in cold hard cash for that 12"

And please don't judge the rest of us younger chaps. After all, ask any raver or techno junkie and they'll tell you what a B Side is, and a 12", and a record. Course, most of my peers couldn't tell Parliament from Davis, but I still don't like being grouped with the rest of "them", idiots though they may be, not all of us are like them.

co-sign. i'm only 22 years old and i know about records, but like u said, most of folks our age are 2 wrapped up in technology 2 know what vinyl is or what-not...and yup, there's definitely a lotta cats who know about the mighty 12". horns

Wow, a youngin in deed (even though I'm acctually younger than CHAOSMAN87.)

Hey, can I call myself the "educated-youngin" considering the fact I'm very aware of b-sides, vinyls, and all that good yadda. Or would I just be the "youngin-that-needs-to-start-living-in-her-own-time-and-needs-to-stay-away-from-vinyls-and-80's-music"?

Okay, now I just feel awkward and moronic because of that last deal.

Hmmm...some people, including myself, just don't use that 'terminology', or didn't use...we just used to say 'the other side of the record', little did we know that we meant was the 'b-side', I don't think it's about being young or not because I grew up playing 45" and 12", and didn't know the other was called a b-side...
