45s just confirm that at least half the songs written are total sandos [duds ].
The record company is only plugging one side.On D J copies it usually even said PLUG SIDE with Stars.Motown 45's were a bargain because even though the flip usually did not get air-play, we fans knew it would be a quality song.Phil Spector would just put crap or low quality instrumentals on his flip sides because he wanted to make sure all attention was on the A side.
