Over the past few years I have started to collect some fantastic vinyl 45s again. Some have been bought from car boot sales for next to nothing and others I have paid a few quid for, although to be honest I have not paid more than £12 yet. I already had quite a few great Soul and R&B singles from my early Mod days and have often been amazed at just how good some of the B sides are on these tracks. I will start off with the B side to a record I have had since 1982. 'Mockingbird' by Inez Foxx was the first record released on the British Sue label in 1963 (as far as I am aware), as well as the main track being superb the B side called 'He's the one You Love' is fantastic too. So what are your own favourite B sides to these crackin records.

Some superb R&B and bluesy blues courtesy of 'Scat Man' Crothers, The Pelvis & Ms Kitty.
Nothing that I own, I just enjoyed tracking them down and love listening to them (a guilty pleasure of being a big Elvis fan since the age of awareness).
Lol. You wash your mouth out Elvis is King! ;0) Seriously, his music is not my cup of tea now but as a wee lad, I was mesmerised by his live shows on the TV. Any man that can get women (or men, so I've heard) to take their knickers off and throw them at you just by singing, deserves some form of respect... Rock&Roll or R&B baby, as the case may be.
That Scat Man Crothers is an acquired taste perhaps but well worth investigating. I'm after one of his albums in particular at the mo, which is proving quite difficult to track down outside of the States. Glad you enjoyed at least one track anyway Chris. Elvis Lives! Ha, ha, ha.
Sacrilege! ha, ha
Some other nice ones are..I Dig Your Act[The O'Jays]...A Boy Named Tom[Carla Thomas]...I Need You[The Impressions]...No Girl[Billy Stewart].
