	I think in those days, Billboard listed the higher airplay performer first, regardless of A/B designation. As far as I remember, "Downtown" didn't get much CHR airplay; it was more of an urban crossover single. I have the vinyl single in storage. To the best of my recollection, Right Here was side A and Downtown was side B - but I'd need to check. On another note, when I was about 4 years old, that A/1 trick blew my mind. I couldn't decide which side of Hall & Oates' "Private Eyes" album to play first -- it had sides A and 1.
