I have an affinity for B-Side hits and I had compiled a
complete list based off research from Billboard and Joel Whitburn books. However I just discovered something today that I had never noticed before. I never realized that a few of these entries don't have slashes. I always knew that the Nutty Squirrels was two sided (but only because the A and B sides charted separately). I was most stunned to find out "American Pie" was double-sided. But before you say "well duh", first take a look at these hits are are all A-Sides... A-Side ONLY hits: Brand New Love Affair Part I & II BY Chicago Dialogue (Part I & II) BY Chicago Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love) (Parts 1 & 2) BY The Isley Brothers For The Love Of You (Part 1&2) BY The Isley Brothers It's A New Day (Part 1) & (Part 2) BY James Brown The Killing Of Georgie (Part 1 And 11) BY Rod Stewart ***** I intentionally typed 11 (instead of II or 2) because that's exactly how this appears on the 45. ***** Double-sided hits: Slaughter On Tenth Avenue—Part I / Slaughter On Tenth Avenue—Part II BY Ray Anthony Beat Me Daddy (Eight To The Bar)—Part I / Beat Me Daddy (Eight To The Bar)—Part II BY Will Bradley And His Orchestra Featuring Ray McKinley The Flying Saucer (Part 1) / The Flying Saucer (Part 2) BY Buchanan and Goodman Santa And The Satellite (Part I) / Santa And The Satellite (Part II) BY Buchanan and Goodman Better Place To Be (Part 1) / Better Place To Be (Part 2) BY Harry Chapin (How I Spent My Summer Vacation) Or A Day At The Beach With Pedro And Man—Part 1 / (How I Spent My Summer Vacation) Or A Day At The Beach With Pedro And Man—Part 2 BY Cheech & Chong The Big Time Spender, Part 1 / The Big Time Spender, Part 2 BY Cornbread and Biscuits A Crosby Christmas - Part 1 / A Crosby Christmas - Concluded BY Gary, Phillip, Dennis, Lindsay And Bing Crosby Honky Tonk (Part 1) / Honky Tonk (Part 2) BY Bill Doggett Let's Get Away From It All-Part 1 / Let's Get Away From It All-Part 2 BY Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra, Vocal refrain by The Pied Pipers Return To Paradise (Part 1) / Return To Paradise (Part 2) BY Percy Faith Open The Door, Richard!

I just noticed that the typo for "The Killing Of Georgie
(Part I And II)" wasn't widespread although it was selected as the image for the Wikipedia page on that single. |

In the case of "Dialogue," the A-side is an edit of both parts (so that's why Part 1 wasn't on one side and Part 2 the
other). |

All of those titles on your first list are on a single A-side with a totally different song on the B-side. The second
list has Part 1 on the A-side and Part 2 on the B-side of the 45 single. Edited by Paul Haney |
