    ...
    The Beatles used to release 45s with both titles listed... like 'Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever' or 'Hey Jude/Revolution'. Most of the Beatles 45s were released like this and both sides were hits.

    I just happen to have the "Hey Jude" 45 in my record cabinet (inherited it from my grandmother/dad). I pulled it out and noticed that "Revolution" was the B-side. Just about as good as the A-side in my opinon. That's the thing about Beatles - so many B-sides are just as good as the A-sides.

    The UK and US charts were very different in the 1960s. B-sides couldn't chart here, individually.

    Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever was a double A side.


    Here's a list of AAs:

    Hey Jude/Revolution wasn't a double A side, but throughout the '60s it was common practice to list both the A and B side on the single sleeve (for example, Pink Floyd's Arnold Layne/Candy and a Currant Bun in 1967).

    I'm pretty sure that the term B side originated from it being on the B side of a single/45. But in today's terms it is has to be a song not making it on the album and usually not released until years later. To me and many people today a b side is then basically an outtake. From what I know, a lot of these Beatles and 60s songs termed B sides were on albums and, thus, not really the B sides many of us think of. When I think of "b side," it has to have been rejected in some way before it was released/never released/recorded.

    My fav is the old R.E.M. song "Ages of You" on Dead Letter Office and of course "Yellow Ledbetter."
