If you're reading my blog, chances are you are a pretty big music fan. Like myself, you probably seek out more songs from a band you love, besides just the album tracks. Since bands have been releasing singles, it was common for a non-album track to make the flipside of that record. Sometimes those songs were just throw-aways, other times they were brilliant gems. For this week, these are the songs I'll be presenting to you. I'm hoping you will discover some new ones that will become favorites.

A few months before the release of their debut album, U2 released their second single, and one of the best songs of their early career - '11 O'Clock Tick Tock.' Most people know the song as a highlight from their post-War album, live record - 1983's Under A Blood Red Sky. Produced by Martin Hannett, who is treasured for his work with Joy Division, the '11 O'Clock' single also featured a splendid b-side called 'Touch.' Check it out below. If you'd like to discover some other hidden gems in the U2 catalog, have a look at 15 of the Best U2 Songs You May Not Have Heard. Please enjoy.
