There are a few of them:

Zimmer´s Nick And Masa from Black Rain on Gregg Allman´s I´ll Be Holding On.

Zimmer´s Las Vegas from Rain Man on Belle Stars´Iko Iko.

Vince DiCola´s Farewell from Rocky IV on James Brown´s Living In America.

Harold Faltermeyer´s Shootout and Discovery on a couple of Beverly Hills Cop singles. (which ones?)

Faltermeyer´s Dogfight and Memories on a couple of Top Gun singles. (which ones?)

Any other examples??

The song 'If You Remember Me' from The Champ had Grusin's Main Title on the B-side. My sister bought the 7 inch when it came out and I used to sneak into her room and play the Grusin track when I was mucho younger. I loved it then and still do. Where's the CD?? Someone release it as a double header with On Golden Pond and make my day.
Also, 'Suicide is Painless' from MASH featured a score track on the B side.
So did the song from Moment by Moment (I think). Holdridge scored that one based on the song melody. My sister bought all those singles and I was a sneaky little brother wink

Another one: Against All Odds by Phil Collins has a score track by Michel Colombier and Larry Carlton on the B-side.

The single of 'Best Man In The World' (Golden Child) had an instrumental on the B-side not released on the album. I love that track.

Cheers

I'm sure this was a case with several James Bond songs ("Octopussy" I'm sure and perhaps more titles from the 1980's) -- but it's not exactly a "score", just orchestral instrumental version of the song. Still it would belong to the album in the ideal world.

There was a wacky Elliot Goldenthal score suite on U2's "Hold Me Thrill Me..." CD single from BATMAN FOREVER.

Not a vinyl b-side exactly (well, at all), but I'm pretty sure there was an exclusive track for Road To El Dorado on the Elton John single. Don't shoot me, I had to buy it for a Tard Fest.

I just remembered another one. The title song from Every Which Way But Loose had a score track or instrumental on the B-side by Dorff or Garrett (or maybe both).

A rare one:

Jonathan Elias' "Leave Love Behind" (Theme From Rude Awakening) on the B-side of Mike & The Mechanics' "Revolution" and also on Bill Medley's "Rude Awakening".

Also, Zimmer's Under The Stars from Lion King as a "bonus" track on Elton John's Can You Feel The Love Tonight CD-single,

And Moroder's Semi Finals from Over The Top on Kenny Loggins' Meet Me Halfway 7".

Although not actually a score cue, but didn't have the single for A View to a Kill had Barry's beautiful love theme arrangement called That Fatal Kiss?

The 45rpm vinyl of the disco version of the five-note theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind had "Nocturnal Pursuit" from the album on the B-side. I enjoyed it a lot more than the disco theme.

The Empire Strikes Back had a 45 ost with, I think, The Imperial March on the A-side. The Battle in the Snow was the B-side, which tickled me to pieces.

Yes, at least Tony's Theme was on Paul Engemann's Push It To The Limit single.

thanks FB.

Not much interest to the rest of you but way back in the 60s when italian western title songs were released as singles in italy for their hit charts, many had instrumental versions on b sides.

Instrumental versions of film themes on b sides was a common practice for decades.
maddeningly im struggling to think of any!!

apologies FB if you were thinking more LPs with songs one side and score the other rather than singles?
maybe it can be both.
Barrys Zulu was always a weird one. Score on 1 side and the JB7 tracks on the other.

Born on the Bayou - Broken Homes
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrision

My Girl - Temptations

That's a great Side A of songs

and......

Side B- John Williams' Oscar nominated Film Score

The Shooting Of Wilson
Cua Viet River, Vietnam, 1968
Homecoming

Actually,

as I re-read this thread, I realized you're talking about 45rpm singles. MY bad frown

How about 'View to a Kill'? Duran Duran single on A and John Barry instrumental of theme on B.

I had a 45 of Ennio Morricone's Come Maddalena, it had Chi Mai on the B-side. A few years later and Chi Mai was the A-side after becoming a huge UK hit record due to being used as the theme for 1981 BBC drama series The Life And Times of David Lloyd George.
