Line 77:
* An abridged version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was the B-side of [[The Rolling Stones]]' "Honky Tonk Women". When the full version was released on ''Let It Bleed'', it became just as popular.
* "Dear God" is one of [[XTC]]'s most well-known songs, but it originally was the b-side to their single "Grass". Once it started unexpectedly getting radio play, it not only got it's own single, but it also was added to the album ''Skylarking'', replacing the album track "Mermaid Smiled". The most recent reissue of ''Skylarking'' includes both, though: "Mermaid Smiled" is in it's original place on the album, while "Dear God" is included as a bonus track.
* A near example came while [[George Harrison]] was working on doing a [[B -Side]] for a single off his new solo work. Visiting with his friend [[Bob Dylan]], who had a mini recording studio in his place, he ended up doing a little song along with a few other friends, [[Roy Orbison]], [[Electric Light Orchestra|Jeff Lynn]] and [[Tom Petty]], taking the name from a tag on one of Dylan's travel cases. When he sent it to the record company, they saw imdiately that this was NOT a [[B -Side]] song and asked for more. The result was that ''Handle With Care'' became the lead song of [[Supergroup|The Traveling Wilburys]].
* [[Pink Floyd]]'s ''[[Careful with That Axe]], Eugene".
* [[Elvis Costello]] & The Attractions' cover version of Brinzley Shwarz's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding", which came to [[Covered Up|cover up]] the original. Not only was it originally a b-side, but it wasn't even a B-side to an Elvis Costello single - it first appeared as the B-side to "American Squirm", a single by Nick Lowe, who wrote "...Peace Love And Understanding".
