Many many years ago people used to buy music singles, nowadays they just download the track they want – B-Sides are a thing of the past, in fact I’d imagine the term B-side will mean little to a lot of younger people. The ‘Phonics were a band that I followed very closely during their first couple of albums, I picked up every single from the later end of the first album “Word gets around” and definitely bought all of them from “Performance and Cocktails”. This a time when I was massively into music, forming a band, reading NME every week and enjoying music in a huge way.
The Stereophonics always had good B-sides, covers that introduced me to various tracks, even famous songs such as Nirvana’s Something in the way, or the Rolling Stones Angie were first heard by me from the singing of Kelly Jones.
