We remember Ian Curtis as he passed on from this world 34 years ago tonight. We pay tribute by revisiting the seminal Joy Division and some other Manchester contemporaries of their day. In addition, DJ Jim G keeps it dicey with other sonic dips and turns as lethargy sneaks in and threatens control in the interzone. Chickens do dance infinitely, Ian… (RIP)

Til the Christ Comes Back by Bill Fay from Time of the Last Persecution (1971)

We here at W!C!P! are all about records. We like all kinds but, there’s something real special about the beloved 7″ or “45”. Back in the day, artists depended on singles to achieve their way to the top of the charts and later on independent artists relied on the 7″ format to sell at shows (inexpensively) to get their music into our hot little hands.

Every 7″ record has an “A” side that usually contains the “hit” or a song the artist obviously wants you to experience first. But sometimes on the “B” side is where things get interesting. Either labeled as “throwaways” or experimental recordings for particular artists, these tracks would sometimes become a hit themselves or be found deep on an album buried between other non hit songs; OR the assigned “B” side track just remained an orphan of sorts, existing solely beneath “A” territory.

Wax! Crackle! Pop! proudly presents a new series, every other month, where we exclusively investigate the other side, flipping it all over and that’s B SIDES THE POINT. Vinyl geek, B side enthusiasts John Seden and John Everett are regular guests!

Check out our past show #12 for B sides the point – phase 1!
