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?
Isn’t the Abbey Road Medley considered one song?
Def Leppard’s “Bringing on the Heartbreak” + “Switch 625.”
Supertramp: School/Bloody Well Right.
Squeeze - Pulling Mussels from the Shell/ Another Nail in my Heart.
The Cars: You’re All I Got Tonight / Bye Bye Love
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.
Jackson Browne - “Running on Empty” and “The Load Out”
Not songs, but operas: Cavallera Rusticano and I Pagliacci.
Just thought of another:
J. Geils Band - Whammer Jammer / Hard Driving Man
And didn’t the J. Geils Band have a one/two combo with Must Have Got Lost (?) and Where Did Our Love Go?
mmm
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.
Night Flight to Venus/Rasputin - Boney M
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?
Fat Bottom Girls/Bicycle Race - Queen.
I think you mean “The Load Out” and “Stay”.
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.
Devo has a few of these…
Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA
Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy
Timing X/Clockout
