This week’s show comes in at exactly two hours and is made up entirely of B sides of 1977 punk rock singles. Before punk, B-sides were the side of the 7″ where non-album, non-radio-friendly, instrumental versions or simply inferior recordings were placed. But such was the prolific writing and recording passion of the punk explosion that in a lot of cases the B side was as good, if not better than the A side. Sit back (or jump up) and enjoy these 42 non inferior blasts of 1977.
