For the very young, the single was this little 45-rpm disc, which was (usually ) two songs: the A side was the success, or good song, which is not always synonymous. The B side used to be a filler infumable Peñaza. In English the B side was called "the flip side", and also amounted to bad of a set of things. This "Culture of the singles, now defunct, also brought surprises. For example, in the case of The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel, I have vivid memories of two of their singles, in which the B side was infinitely better than side A. The single was Beatles' Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da (those who know me know that this song makes me more of the nerves that Corina Porro's voice) on side A y. .. While My Guitar Gently Weeps in B. Well, what about the latter? What is without doubt one of the best songs of Liverpool? What is the piano from the start, these reverberations, the Eric Clapton guitar, that voice still trembling Harrison makes my hair stand on end? Yes, I would say that. Another case
investment of terms in the logic of the "Culture of the singles" was the single Cecilia Simon & Garfunkel (which many critics called "the Ob Ob La Di Da The S & G"), as B side proved to be another d elas best duo, The only living boy in New York , a song that sums up the quintessence of Paul Simon: intimate, melancholy lyrics formidable, cityscapes ... Another genius, Paul Simon. I still have this last single, as well whip the poor, with 45 years of age. The photo is the U.S. release, other than English.
