The Everly Brothers - Don't Let The Whole World Know

 
Warner Brothers 5600, 1965 (B-side of "You're My Girl")

A nice UK press by Decca. No idea why neither of these tracks ever made it to a proper LP. The B-side is one of their best vocal performances.

Johnny Rivers - Rewind Medley

 
Imperial 66244, 1967

If you flip over Johnny Rivers' hit cover of "The Tracks Of My Tears", you'll find this: an album side's worth of song clips from his Rewind LP. All of them Jim Webb tracks, no less.

A pretty clever idea for its time, I think. It's sort of like the 30 second samples you can click on at any online store today, but without the clicking.



The Psychedelic Furs did something similar for their Talk Talk Talk LP, which I wrote about earlier. The main difference was pressing the teaser tracks on the single's cover sleeve instead of the B-side.

Harmonia - De Luxe

 
Metronome BB16 (Germany), 1975

The ultimate Krautrock anthem, presented in radio-friendly edited form.

Somewhere, sometime, this existed in a jukebox. The very idea blows my mind.
