45s and Other Revolutions: A-Sides beginning with the letters P, Q, and R.

The Kills [00:30] a side: "Pull a U" b side: "The Search for Cherry Red" Domino Records RUG165 2003 Nothing like a little stripped down rock and roll. Grace Jones [06:52] a side: "Pull Up to the Bumper" b side: "Breakdown" Island Records IS49697 1981 Funk yeah. Beep beep. Made it number 5 on the RaB charts, and number 2 on the Hot Dance charts. And of course, there's that killer b-side, for which Tom Petty provided a third verse especially for Grace. Sheb Wooley [14:24] a side: "The Purple People Eater" b side: "I Can't Believe You're Gone" MGM Records K12651 1958 So does it only eat purple people or is it purple and eats people? The answer is right in the lyrics: it eats purple people! Jody Miller [19:07] a side: "Queen of the House" b side: "The Greatest Actor" Capitol Records 5402 1965 Ayup, that's an answer song all right. Made it to number 12 on the Hot 100 and number 5 on the Country charts. Not only that, The Supremes even recorded a version of it. B.J. Thomas [25:01] a side: "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" b side: "Never Had It So Good" Scepter Records SCE-12265 1969 Heckuva Hal David/Burt Bacharach number, heckuva film. Number 1 on the charts of course. Blondie [30:55] a side: "Rapture" b side: "Walk Like Me" Chrysalis CHS 2485 1981 Sadly the b-side is rendered unplayable due to damage. The video features cameos by Fab Five Freddy, Lee Quinones and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Pavement [38:00] a side: "Rattled by the Rush" b side: "False Skorpion/Easily Fooled" Matador Records OLE-134-7 1995 Wowee. Zowee. The first single from Pavement's 1995 album Wowee Zowee. Definitely sounds like the boys are having some fun on the b-side. J.J. Barnes [47:27] a side: "Real Humdinger" b side: "I Ain't Gonna Do It" Ric-Tic Records RT-110 1966 Hot stuff, and a Northern Soul classic from this often overlooked Detroit singer/songwriter. Music behind the DJ: "Ski Chase" by John Barry.
