our children will probably think of cd’s and cd-singles the same way that we think of 78’s and victrolas. even writing ‘cd-single’ feels anachronistic, for i know that in about 5 or 10 years very few people will even remember what a ‘cd-single’ was (for posterity, a single ((with B-sides usually)) released on a compact disc). So what we have here is a collection of non ‘A-side’ songs that appeared on the cd-singles that were released from Play. so even though a cd single only has one side, we still refer to the extra songs on a single as ‘B-sides’. cd’s and cassettes and mp3’s and etc have changed all that, but somehow the terminology persists. then you had the main songs on the A side, and a second song on the B-side. Ok, for a start, what’s a B-side? the term made a lot of sense when singles were released on 7” pieces of vinyl.
