In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the 45 rpm-vinyl single disc, Rhino is offering digital downloads of songs originally issued as 45s together with their original “B” sides, with 31 songs making their digital debut. iTunes will have 60 digital singles available, among them six exclusive never-released “B” sides, and offer the original artwork as a downloadable PDF file, when available. Rhino expects to issue 25 digital singles a month.

The Eagles’ original single Hotel California / Pretty Maids All in a Row is among the first bundles to go virtual. Incidentally for Eagles fans, there’s a second digital offering: Take it Easy / Get You in the Mood happens to be one of the six exclusives with the rare “B” side not available on any album.
