| A-side and B-side refer to the sides of 7-inch vinyl records, or singles, first released in the 1950s. The A-side had the featured song that the artist hoped would become a hit. |  |
The B-side, or flip-side, is the lesser song (that often does not appear on the artist's LP). Many of our most closely held assumptions have a flip-side. Derek Sivers inspired me to consider the flip-side in this short TED video.
The B-side, or flip-side, is not the lesser, simply different.
BTW
Derek Sivers, a professional musician and circus clown since 1987, is founder and former president of CD Baby, an online CD store for independent musicians. I covet the title clown and would like to sneak it into my bio without the inconvenience of having to join the circus.
