Hehhehheh: trick question...it was an instrumental cut of *I Want My Baby Back*...entitled *Play Other Side* lest some less-than-observant DJ not get the point.
My favorite B-side title is "I've Been Carrying A Torch For You So Long, I've Burned a Great Big Hole In My Heart." It was the flip of a big late 1963 hit. But you have to let me know the Jimmy Cross B-side.
Not to bad. My all-time fave would probably be the B-side of Napolean XIVth's *They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha...* which was the A-side track played backwards. Back in the days of the mechanical Rock-Ola jukeboxes that'd repeat a song if repeatedly selected, we had a 6-tunes-for-a-quarter box that I could get everyone else to keep playing just by walking toward it with a quarter in my hand...until Napolean was eventually deposed to Elba.
If you don't hear back from me, it's because I have to drift toward hitting the hay.
No biggy, I still have a FReepmail from you to reply to anyway. Been busy today....
Yep, Robin Luke was a Hawaii lad -- always wore the aloha shirts -- I recall him appearing on "American Bandstand" when it started Saturday night broadcasts (presented by Beech Nut Gum). And do you remember (what am I saying, of course you do) Crabby Appleton?
Crabby Appleton was a much better group live than anything they recorded gives evidence of- they used to open for the Doors, as I recall. They never could quite seem to stick to one genre or direction of music, tried everything from Blue Cheer-style acid rock to blues- their old version of *Lucy* would probably go over pretty good now today. And their cut *One More Time* was downright country. Two albums from them, as I recall, working on a third while touring the second one when they broke up, early 70s. But *Rotten to the Core* was a great album title that not just any band could have gotten away with.
