Creator of the Mix: Rev. Syung Myung Me
Initial Notes About The Mix: After all the stress over the Offensive Comp (and the non-solution the nice comp), we finally decided on "B-sides that should have been A-sides". The theme isn't necessarily supposed to be taken literally -- basically, it's just shorthand for songs that should have been hits that were B-sides, album tracks, unreleased, whatever, but I actually did go for the literal interpretation. There are a couple that were b-sides-as-well-as-album-cuts, and a couple deep-cuts-on-EPs, but for the most part, we're talkin' stright B-side joy here.
