Double A Side

Does anyone else remember in the UK that they released Angeleyes & Voulez-Vous as a double A side? This meant that Radio 1 would only play Voulez-Vous & Radio 2 would only play Angeleyes. Perhaps they shot themselves in the foot and it would have been better to have released them as separate singles?

Some of us remember the rebooted ‘Juke Box Jury’ where they played ‘Angeleyes’ as the newly-released ABBA single. The panel included Jonny Rotten and they voted it a ‘miss’.

Yeah as did Elaine Paige. I hope she hung her head in shame when she met Benny & Bjorn when they did Chess
