Some Incredible Double A-Sides
___________
I put together a playlist of double A-sides…
back in 2017, so I thought I would update it for 2021. It is debatable what constitutes a double A-side. Many people compile lists of double A-sides but, in actuality, a lot of the pairings are A and B-sides. I have included true double A-sides: where we have two songs promoted as the A-side rather than one A-side and a B-side. There are not that many genuine double A-sides, but I think it is a fascinating phenomenon. It is a pity that we don’t have them anymore, but I love the fact that artists would put out two strong tracks from an album as a single rather than do them as two separate singles. Perhaps it was a way of ensuring that the single was successful – in that they had that extra ammunition that they could fire out! From Queen, to The Beatles, through to Elvis Presley, this Lockdown Playlist collection is an assortment of some…
MIGHTY fine double A-sides.
