45s and Other Revolutions: Still more A-Sides beginning with the letter L.
Sonny a Cher [00:28] a side: "Little Man" b side: "Monday" ATCO Records 45-6440 1966 Big hit for them in Europe, not so much in the US. Clarence Henry [06:42] b side: "Little Suzy" a side: "You Only Hurt the Ones You Love" Argo U-10760 1961 Whoops. Your Old Pal Will got the sides flipped again. Probably because the b-side, "Little Suzy", is a pretty awesome track. The actual a-side is a pretty solid take on the standard made classic by The Mills Brothers. The Sweet [12:16] a side: "Little Willy" b side: "Man from Mecca" Bell Records 45,251 1972 One of the gold standard by which glam rock singles are judged. Still shimmers. Future Twin [18:16] a side: "Lockits" b side: "Badseed" 2012 Heck yeah. Badass motorbike ladies. What more could you want from an a-side? Talk Normal [25:07] a side: "Lone General" b side: "Hurricane" M'Ladys Records M'LR 029 2011 Super rad release from Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro aka Talk Normal. The sleeve artwork is taken from a painting by Kim Gordon. Super powerful duo to see live. The Shades of Blue [34:34] a side: "Lonely Summer" b side: "With This Ring" Impact Records IMPACT 1014 1966 Some blue eyed soul from Detroit performing a pretty catchy Edwin Starr number. And heck, the b-side is not too bad either considering the saccharine topic. Ricky Nelson [40:20] a side: "Lonesome Town" b side: "I Got a Feeling" Imperial Records X5545 1958 The classic young Ricky Nelson single, accompanied by The Jordanaires. Nadja [44:39] a side: "Long Dark Twenties" Anthem Records Hoo yeah. The excellent duo Nadja bringing us their cover of a song from The Kids in the Hall film Brain Candy (https://youtu.be/sPFQE8VjAog). A fine aural confection. "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy.
