The term B-side comes from the time of the vinyl record.
The vinyl record had two sides, usually called A and B. The first half of the album would be the A-side, the second half the B-side. So, an album B-side would simply be a track from the second half of the album.
However, the term is most used about singles, for instance the B-side to "Hand In Glove" by The Smiths being "Handsome Devil", seeing as it's on the B-side of the single. The B-side is often less hooky, and will not be as marketed as the A-side. A common expression used about good B-sides is that they have been "buried".
It is still common to refer to a song not being the first track on a single, or a remix of this, as a B-side.
