Awesome. I wish I had known that at the time. Doesn't matter though - I had in on Replicas.

^^ in fairness to you, there seems to be a lot of overlap of Gary Numan's versions on his various compilations (I also have 'Replicas'; mine is the 2008 release).
And it appears that "Me, I Disconnect From You" (BBC Peel Session) is on CD2 of the 2019 Special 40th Anniversary of Replicas

Anyway, most importantly for this thread, it's a very good song

"I was walking up the stairs
Something moved in silence
I could feel its mind decaying
Only inches away from me"

Awesome song!

“You Know My Name (Look up the number)” - b side to “Let it Be.” My friends and I LOVED that song. Still cracks me up.

Bill Nelson's Red Noise - Wondertoys That Last Forever/Aquitted By Mirrors (B-side of Furniture Music)

Great album!

'Strange Sky'

Early Annie Lennox on the flip-side of The Tourists poppy post-punk single 'Don't say I told you so'. Lovely stuff...

The Teardrop Explodes - Strange House In The Snow (B-side of Reward)

Bill Nelson's Red Noise - Wondertoys That Last Forever/Aquitted By Mirrors (B-side of Furniture Music)

The Vapours - Here comes the Judge (Live) (B-side of Turning Japanese)

Joy Division - These Days/Love Will Tear us Apart (Better version) (B-side of Love Will Tear us Apart)

Don't know if the following was a B-side or an AA-side but:
The Poison Girls - Persons Unknown - (Other side of Crass - Bloody Revolutions)

I covet thy Red Noise 45. It's one I never got my hands on. Started buying imports round the time Quit Dreaming came out

[melomood]

I'll Remember You by Wasted Youth was a good one
B-side of the My Friends Are Dead ep

[Kott]

Moby - Landing

In the mid 80's my brother and I used to put our money together to buy 7" singles with the idea that he would own the Side A song (the Commercial version) and I would own the the Side B song (I am the muso of the family and after all I liked unorthodox experimental music, so it was rather like a lucky packet)

The 7" vinyl singles were played at 45 Rpm
Here it goes,

Side A Moonlight Shadow- Mike Oldfield ft Maggie o Reilly
Side B Right of Man-Mike Oldfield... still one of my ultimate faves

Side A Major Tom- Peter Schilling
Side B Major Tom instrumental reprise which I loved the Bass guitar when played the single at 33 rpm

Side A Brother Louie- Modern Talking
Side B Cherry Cherry Lady- Modern Talking

Side A Bad Moon Rising- Ccr
Side B Have You Ever seen the Rain-Ccr (in my opinion, their beat written, recorded and produced song )

b-side of Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick

The Inner Light (Lady Madonna)
