B-sides

Redirected from B-side

B-sides are songs released on the same record as a single to provide extra 'value for money'. These songs are normally songs which did not make it onto the album, or remixes. The term comes from when a vinyl record had only two songs, the "A-side" (the single) and the B-side.
