There've been many great 7 inch single flipsides over the years (and 12 inch...and 10....and EPs)….sometimes just lost in the shadow of the main song, and often quite obscure as a result...………..
...and here's a cracker from 1979, a great piece of fun from Spizz!
Spizzenergi ~ 'Virginia Plain'
...B-side to 'Soldier Soldier'
Bought this single when it was released, sold it somewhere down the line (very early '80s) and found (and bought) a mint copy in original pic sleeve (slightly tatty, but not bad) yesterday for £1 at a new and second hand vinyl record shop on a high-street near us...Also got Spizzoil 'Cold City' : 4 single for £1, m/ex, similar story, happy days!
Another cracker here...B-side to their 'Darts of Pleasure' debut single, with great vocal delivery, sounding like some dark-splice of Mark E. Smith and Iggy Pop..
Nice track, Tourist, nice ch-ch-cha chak-a chak-a chak-a chak-a chaa beat ... and I like that guitar tone ... and the sync-sweep sound in it. I'm always looking for that sync-sweep anywhere/everywhere.
The name of this post makes me wanna hear Bill Nelson's 'Flipside' [1995] ....
... and Adventures In Stereo's 'Flipside' [1997] as well, actually.
