Who's Driving Your Plane, Stoned, Long Long While, Don't Know Why, Jiving Sister Fanny, all relatively simple songs, but really fantastic. I wish their A-sides nowawadays came even close to those.

The guitars' don't leap-out as they should, and the production is murky

I still wonder what's the secret how such a simple 12-bar blues can sound so heavy.

It's all about Brians exact timming with the harp...

I remember that in those amazing 60s Beatles and Stones alike came up with singles, EPs and albums that contained just only high quality songs (okay, tastes differ on individual songs). For them each and every song was important. The term B side sounded pretty rediculous. The songs were in mono to start with and sounded great. Decades later the record companies started to mess with technology (how dreadfully scr*wed up was the first CD version of Get Off of my Cloud!) when re-releasing old songs. What a shame.
Who's Driving Your Plane ... a heavy, dirty, mean and great SOAB blues song!

The 60's was the golden-age of the B-side: of that, there's no doubt. EP's were marvellous, too: picture sleeves, unique liner-notes, and, occasionally, exclusive song-content. I'm of the understanding that the reason for the EP's popularity across the U.K. and Europe was due to the relative expensiveness of the LP and the pop music-buying demographic being unable to afford LP's; something American teens - with, perhaps, more disposable income - were able to do.
