Manders Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 OK I WAS LISTENING TO ANIMALS....REALLY GOOD....AND I WAS WANDERING IF B SIDES ARE ON CD'S OR JUST TAPES AND WHAT DOES THE B IN B-SIDES STAND FOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet One Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Um..i'm taking a shot in the dark..but B-sides appear on singles and the "B" simply refers to secondary..like a-sides are the tracks that make the album and b-sides are the ones that didn't make it. I could be wrong..but ya know..hahaha :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Maga Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I think that it comes from the old disks, the black big ones (vynils or whatever). When our old people :D (if my mum sees this, she'll kill me) bought their records, they came with a song, which was the one the disk consisted in, and one as a bonus. But this one, was on the other side of the disk, you had to turn it to listen to it, so I guess one of the sides (the one with the song that entitled the record) was A, and the other with the bonus was B.

';' Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 it's all with the sides of a 45 or 78 records the b-side was the non-hit side of a record or, when the record wasn’t a hit, it was the side no one really cared about or only the media cared about the hits (the a-side). the a-side is the part that is meant to be out and made to be a hit. b-sides are more for collectors because they seem to always like them better than they original sides of the album. like with coldplay i think any fan or the majority of the fans prefer the b-sides better that's why they want them and make them collectables in the future. i prefer the b-sides :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manders Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 o so it does come on cd's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
';' Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 no it doesnt come on the original cd. for example the a rush of blood' cd. now since we have cds it's the bands or record companies option to put out more songs with the single. so yeah it is on a cd but not like on the b-side of the original cd. that be cool if it was like that. lol two sides to a cd :D but i guess also difficult to keep clean....lol there would be no place to hold it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manders Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 yea i meant the single so do u like flip the cd over in the cd player? or is it like life is for living after everything's not lost....where u keep the cd going and it comes on?

';' Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 no i just said it wasnt like that :D :lol: b-sides now come in seperate cds. well they are better known as "singles" and the b-sides are the second or third tracks. you dont have to flip nothing over just change the track number. i'm guessing you dont have any of their b-side or any singles with them. :? lol if you get it you'll see what i mean :D ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

';' Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 i think the in my place single has to be the best so far :shrug: . i havnt heard any of the clocks b-sides yet, so maybe my opinion will change soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manders Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 maybe why is in my place the best? (so far hehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Maga Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I agree on that Ginger. Many band's best songs usually come up as B-sides... :-o Now singles are better I think because they come with two or three songs... to buy the record for just one plus song like in the old days of black disks must have felt like a fraud! :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
