50 years of 45s

for a bit of a helping hand Here's a Mix of the A sides..
same bands- same snigles- same order.. wake me up before you GO GO GO:
A Side Quiz




I tried to do this on the 31 March - I'm told that's the official 50th Birthday of the 7" snigle that we knew and loved - some of us still do. The Independent shops that I know tried to lobby the record companies to do a big celebration for it and only sell some special 7" on disc - but who would want to make some cash out of a beautiful slab of vinyl when it can be given away for free by people like us.. on an impersonal computer hard drive... Here's the B - side:
Eels - I write the B-Sides


This could be impossible or really easy.. who knows?
I WANT THE BAND NAME b-side SONG TITLE and the A-SIDE that it's from please
22 tracks in all 66 spill points up for grabs
B-Sides QUIZ

  1. Aaargh. I'm so bad at quizzes. I think I heard the Smiths and the Cure back-to-back. (4&5, maybe, or 5&6?) I should know the songs, but I don't. Not yet anyway. I''ll have another listen in a bit.

  2. I'm utterly clueless!

    Dexys at around the 40 second mark?

    Agree about The Smiths and The Cure, and possibly Heaven 17 immediately after.

    Last one - Madness?

    No chance on songtitles for either side of the vinyl!!!

    It's all far too removed from my heavy-rock-heavy (if you see what I mean!) 7" singles collection.

  3. I did wonder if it would be too tuff.. each individual record collection is going to be so unique

    but 2 points for Steen with the smiths and the cure

    and 2 points for DsD with Dexys and Madness

    research is fine if you work out the tracks.. here's hoping they are one off releases!!!

    back later.

  9. The Smiths track is What she said, I'd have to look up the A side it was paired with though. Well, I just did and I wouldn't have guessed it.

    ReplyDelete
  10. nope on both Shoey - sorry
    good researching nilpferd


    soon as I pick my son up I will put an A side mix up.. to see if that helps at all!!

    back soon.

  11. The Bonzo's track is the B side to Urban Spaceman, if I remember my dad's rekkid collection corectly. Quite pleased so many wild hits were right.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Correct on the Bonzos A side Tracy.

    For a little help all the A sides are now on a mix at the top..

  13. Oooh, Sisters of Mercy after PSB's Rent.
    And the one before was The Eurythmics?! Wow.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Argle! Waterboy's Fisherman's Blues!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hmm, Sisters of Mercy is about 17 instead. The Belle Stars version of Iko Iko too, Bow Bow Wow? Then Pixies' My Velouria.
    And the Carter track (still hotly disputed by hubby) is Rubbish, so is it Alternate Alf Garnett? We have tickets for November, where they'll be playing all of 101 Damnations and 30 Something on the Saturday, though not for the prior night, which is 1992 The Love Album and Post-Historic Monsters. Excellent.

  18. Nah. Even listening to the A-sides, all I can add is:

    Dexy's is Come On Eileen,
    Eurythmics is Who's That Girl,
    17 might be The Mission,
    19 might be Blondie.

    ReplyDelete

  21. Cheers Shane. I'll take the spoonfed Spill point for Fields Of The Nephilim. Don't have ANYTHING by them (apart from a song or two on compilation discs) so it'd be a wild stab at ... Moonchild ??

    ReplyDelete
  22. Nephilim is correct.. song wrong.. I liked the record sleeves ( I have some weird music - just because the art work had a lovely texture!)
