Flip Side Treasures
WHAT IS A FLIP SIDE:
I know that the various sides of records become popular in different cities. Therefore, the records posted below are considered "Flip Sides" by me, because I acquired the record primarily for the opposite side. There have been a number of requests that I identify the hit sides of the records, while others state they enjoy the surprise of finding that they had a copy of a record by that group and found the side presented here on it. I'm going to continue naming them again in this update.
Note: Since I'm a big ballad lover and collect on that basis, the number of "Flip-Side" ballads is comparatively small. So you may have noticed that I've started to re-post previous ballad Flip-Sides to complete these postings.
