NAME THAT B-SIDE!

One thing you can say about the Summer of 1966 is that there was no shortage of great pop music. In fact, the best bands were unstoppable, releasing singles with hits on both sides of the 45 RPM single. Nowadays the very idea of a 45 RPM single is quaint, but if you think about it, it might have been a better system than we presently have. Today, if you like a song, you can buy the CD (18.99 or thereabouts), or you can download it – no B-side, no “lagniappe” (a little something extra for free). In 1966, it was quite possible that you could like the B-side as much as the A-side, maybe even more! So join us as we have some fun playing a few of our favorite great hits from August 1966 (and a” Great Miss’, for good measure). If you want to play our game, DON’T READ THE SONG TITLES LISTED BELOW!! Otherwise, just listen and have some fun.
