Welcome to “On The Flippity-Flop,” where your Idolators spotlight unjustly ignored B-sides, bonus tracks, compilation contributions, and EP cuts. Send your suggestions to tips@idolator.com.

ARTIST: Metallica SONG: “The Prince” FIRST APPEARANCE: As the B-side to the One single, 1988; later appeared on Garage Inc. WHY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN A-SIDE: Metallica has recorded dozens of cover songs, and while this Diamond Head homage wasn’t the group’s best remake moment, it did serve as a British-rock primer for several impressionable younguns (some of whom had no doubt never ever heard of the band until they picked up this cassingle).
