> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > Those were one record, recorded together. Yes, just like Robert Palmer’s _Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You_, they were released on a single record side (and I think this also applies to Soft Cell’s _Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go_). But they’re two different songs, so don’t they fit the OP’s premise? ---

Zebra - “As I Said Before” and “Who’s Behind the Door”. This may be a local thing, since the members of Zebra were from Metairie, LA and the group formed in the New Orleans area, so Zebra always got heavy airplay here. And those two songs were in that order on the album and the tracks ran together. ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > Isn’t the Abbey Road Medley considered one song? Each song in in the medley is seperated by a wide groove on the original vinyl. I almost never hear a single song from The Wall on the radio. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > Do You Think It’s All Right?/Fiddle About My dad’s car in the 80s had a button where a cassette would rewind back to the beginning of the song. If you were playing Fiddle About, it would rewind to Do You Think It’s Alright. I’m not sure how that technology works, but whoever mastered the cassette put both on as one track (either that or there’s no silence gap between the two). Although the bigger question is why the hell I was repeating THAT song over and over? ---

> [@x-ray\_vision](#): > > Brain Damage & Eclipse - Pink Floyd I don’t think I’ve ever heard _Another Brick In The Wall (Pt. 2)_ on its own, either. Radios always play \*The Happiest Days of our Lives \*first. Makes sense since they’re sort of one song divided into two tracks but it probably still qualifies for the purposes of this thread. ---
