Yes! Yes! Yes! Excellent shout maxxi.

That reminded me of this Kraftwerk song, which has an interesting twist.

Computer Love was originally the A-side with The Model the B-side.

After Computer Love peaked and started falling down the charts, DJs picked up on the more radio friendly sound of The Model, and the record company re-released it as an A-side single with Computer Love now the B-side.

So, take your pick pop-pickers...




 

Why is this thread so quiet? It's the second best one after the Rock Anthems one. Yet look at some of the other ones where you lot are talking utter bollox and see the large number of postings.


Right I am going to be contary and put forward an A side where the B one was the hit.


Morning of our Lives by Jonathan Richman. B side was alright - Road Runner, and more poppy. But A side ruled.


So good here are two versions

Forget the Damned, the Pistols, the New York Dolls, Television, Richard Void, MC5s etc this bloke is the architect behind punk.

"Go" was the lead single from the second Pearl Jam album - although it was rather a forgettable song.


However, as some kind of protest/stunt, the single came with a one-track cassette of "Animal" stuck to it, to prevent it from being eligible for the singles charts. "Animal" was a far better song than "Go"...

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
