Hi Teresa,
This subject has been covered a few times and I think that explains why there aren't many responses, you are relatively new to the forum, unlike most of us old gits, sorry, vintage personnel of impeccable taste.
Bryan's reworking of Chance Meeting and Sea Breezes as b sides on his early solo singles are brilliant, but obviously were Roxy tunes, as a stand alone effort I would put As The World Turns at the top.
I've said it before, but will say it again, Lover is far and away my favourite b side, and I firmly believe Bryan felt coupling it with the phrasing "Same Old Scene and Lover" on the single's cover was meant for it to be treated as a double a-side single.
It's intriguing that She's Leaving Home has also been mentioned here, again, its just my opinion, but I feel working on She's Leaving Home influenced As The World Turns, which he did around the same time.
It would be fabulous to hear Bryan do both songs on his Hollywood Bowl "with strings" gig later this year.
Sultanesque is still my favourite Roxy b side instrumental, I don't care what people say!!!
