What's on the flip side?

BTW speaking of 45s.  If your interested in collecting early copies try 
bidding on 45 box sets on eBay because many of the very old ones are still 
going for low prices often much lower than the equivalent LPs and 78 sets 
but I'm expecting people to wise up to these potential treasures.  Be 
advised that Good grade LPs and 45s may be dirty, badly scratched, etc. but 
will play through without skipping.  Look for at least VG grades; even a 
very FEW children's records including the very old yellow 45s can make these 
grades. (I think I just shot myself in the foot but I'm about done with 
chasing 45 box sets down). Color vinyl RCA 45s were pressed about  a year 
longer in Canada than the US ,ditto for 10 in. 78 singles
