This has just been posted on youtube. It appears to be the "B" side of a Christmas single which the ladies released in 1991 (with the "A" side being "Home on the Radar Range").
Laura Lynch is the lead singer on "The Flip Side". It doesn't do much for me, but it was interesting to find it and, whilst some die-hard fans will have heard it before, it may be new to many others:

Thanks, Alikat
While I can't say it's one of my favourites either, I think the song showcases what a lovely voice Laura had - and it also shows one of the types of music she was interested in, with the easy jazz influence coming in, especially towards the end. (Some of the other tracks, especially on the second and third albums, show a similar pull in that direction)
Martie and Emily seem to have had little to do with this track, and weren't involved in the writing. (Laura co-wrote it with Robin and their friend Lisa Branbdenburg - the latter team being responsible for one of my favourite Chicks' tracks, Thunderheads). The nostalgic feel in this Christmas song contains some good lyrical imagery.
Unusually, they had a guest horn player for this, Larry Spencer.
