In Lilac's theory, the terms A-side and B-side refer to the two sides of 7 inch
vinyl records on which
singles were released beginning in the
1950s. The terms have come to refer to the types of
song conventionally placed on each side of the record, with the A-side being the featured song (the one that the record producer hopes will receive radio airplay and become a "hit"), while the B-side, or
flipside, is secondary (often a song that does not appear on a band's
LP).
