lovingbothIn bed last night, I was thinking about how Jo Anna could explain that, although there's no hyphen, she has two first names.
The analogy I thought of was of a 'double A side' single. But since CD singles became the main selling medium for singles, do these still exist? How do you have a 'double A side' CD single anyway? Issue them with different first tracks? (And did cassette singles of 'double A side' singles play differently on the different sides?)
Are they as doomed as the memory that, to name just two UK number ones, Mull of Kintyre and The Model, were really 'double A sides' (and that the forgotten side was better in both cases?)

Date: 2002-07-17 08:29 am (UTC)Here's a vaguely interesting (if you're a vinyl anorak, like me) posting about double A sides. (http://www.airwaves.com/AIRWAVES_ONLINE/0007.html) It doesn't mention how they counted in the chart listings: I seem to remember that they could count twice somehow, but that the artist only got one fee.
