Often referred to as singles many casual observers assume that 45s have only one song. This page displays about 600 songs that were on the b side of 45 rpm records.

The hits the b sides is a mighty testament to the man we once called prince. These would not quite qualify as ep singles as that is generally 4 songs on a single. However for the dedicated prince fan who knows and loves more than just the hits this is a great cd set. Except for some promo 45s however that is simply not the case and the b side of these singles is almost always worth seeking out.
