A fascinating insight into an essential but often ignored aspect of pop music in the vinyl era.

Part Three includes the original 'B' sides of every record that entered the charts between 6th September and the end of the year in chronological order of chart entry, mirroring the tracks on Part Three of the main 1962 British Hit Parade collection, with nearly four hours of eclectic and fascinating entertainment. The only exceptions are where the original hit was a double 'A' side, where both sides charted, as a result of which both of the tracks appear in the main Hit Parade collection
The story of how 'B' sides come to be what they are is a fascinating one and varies greatly from record to record. Some featured songs that were written by either the producer, the artist's manager or someone else with sufficient influence to ensure that if the 'A' side were a hit, they would collect 50% of the publishing income from the sales. Others were, of course, complete throwaways, dashed off in the last 10 minutes of a session purely as make-weights. In contrast, some started life as the intended 'A' side, only to be overshadowed as promotion people or radio DJs spotted the potential of the 'B' side. The fascination is that, in most cases, with the passage of time, we will never know the true story, and the tracks will simply stand to be judged on their merits or otherwise.
Whatever the case, they will very often provide collectors with a piece of the artist's work that they have never heard before, and the majority, we suspect, will never have been available on CD before. The sets as always include our substantial booklets comprising about 10,000 words with commentary on the tracks. We are sure that many purchasers of the main sets will be keen to acquire the 'B' sides to ensure the completeness of their collection.
