What does B/W stand for on a record?
The term "b/w", an abbreviation of "backed with" or occasionally "bundled with", is often used to introduce the B-side of a record. The term "c/w", for "combined with", "comes with", or "coupled with", is used similarly.

    Reason #1138 you know you are a die hard PJ fan...
    when you see 2 Initials and immediately think of EV's commentary on initials and what they could mean...examples...the show in Australia (1995 maybe?) when he does the NW...NW...NW...Nipple Wrench? Now Whistle?! Cracks me up all the time to this day...
    Or later during the Monkey Wrench Broadcast...MW...MW...MW...

    Maybe the hint is that "Again Today" will be released as a vinyl single with another new song as the B side?

    I just assumed they got a lot of questions about the RSD vinyl, since it says SOLAT bw Breath. Which I actually wondered what it meant, then saw this thread.
    Dont think it is a hint at anything else.

    Might be a reference to some other sites promoting it as a double A side single. Which if it has b/w it is not.

    Kinda pointless at this time in either case. Neither were ever released as singles right? About 25 years too late to label it as a double A-side or not. No one's going to buy this who doesnt already own the songs in some format, and probably already pre-ordered the whole album. It is essentially a fake singles release for collectors anyway, labeling it a B-side or double-A is just for nostalgia purposes.
