Could somebody tell me what "b/w" on a 45 stands for? I know it means the song on the flip-side. Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't find any words that fit that also make sense. I know it doesn't mean "black and white". (Or does it? :-).

I think it means "backed with", but I'm not sure.

I was never sure if I found the right answer but the closest I got was "backed with". <In some other article Pete DaSilva asks about a certain video...> Oh and about the pencil animation video. It's by Ah Hah, a band from Norway. I don't who did the animation but it's great. It really is one of my favorites. But then I'm not a very good judge, I don't even have MTV :-). ----- ----- Dave Juitt * In addition, I'll have to insist you return your company car.

The one that keeps me guessing is "c/w" which I've seen used instead of "b/w". Dan Hall dec-rhea!dec-beta!hall
