B-Sides: Discovering the Non-Hits on 45 RPM Records

I heard a Billy Joel song last month called "Laura" on Sirius XM that I had not heard in decades. It was never a hit, and few people would likely have ever even heard of it. But I knew it because it was the B-Side of the 45 single "Pressure" released by Billy Joel from his "Nylon Curtain" album.   It got me to thinking about the songs I discovered and learned to like just because they were on the other side of the record from the song I initially cared about.   In this episode, I muse a bit about my memories of this musical discovery mechanism and share a few other vinyl-inspired thoughts and stories.
