Our Take

Ah, the B sides – the underdogs of the music industry, the hidden gems that often go unnoticed. Various Artists' "First British Hit Parade: The B Sides" is a delightful collection that showcases the lesser-known tracks from some of Britain's most iconic artists.

From The Beatles to The Rolling Stones, this album offers a unique glimpse into the creative process of some of music's greatest minds. Each track is a quirky, offbeat treasure that highlights the talent and versatility of these legendary musicians.

The album kicks off with a bang, with The Who's electrifying B side "Magic Bus" setting the tone for what's to come. As the tracks progress, listeners are treated to a mix of genres, from the psychedelic sounds of Pink Floyd to the soulful melodies of Dusty Springfield.

One standout track is David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" – a hauntingly beautiful B side that showcases Bowie's incomparable talent as a songwriter and performer. The song lingers in your mind long after you've finished listening, a testament to Bowie's enduring legacy.

Overall, "First British Hit Parade: The B Sides" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to discover hidden treasures from Britain's rich musical history. So pour yourself a cup of tea, sit back, and enjoy the ride – you won't be disappointed. Cheers!
