Blakexy1125 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 We haven't had one since MTM, what do you think? Will we ever get another B-side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetwinparadox Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Well, technically, we're getting three b-sides on the Target edition of Ghost Stories. They may not be bundled with singles, but I still see them as b-sides. Anyway, most artists nowadays don't release b-sides. I think it has something to do with that everyone buys from digital retailers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 B-sides as a whole are mostly dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayrn43 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 B-sides as a whole are mostly dead. Sad but true. I like how the Arctic Monkeys still came out with some quality b-sides last year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetwinparadox Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Another way artists are getting non-album material out there is through release of non-album singles. Radiohead released four in the last 5 years. So, b-sides are definitely dead, but I think there will still be non-LP songs. EDIT: B-sides are not dead, they're just remixes of the single nowadays. Or the remix can be the single like ASFOS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
