    It's not just Collectables - oldies reissue labels ALWAYS have uncoordinated sides that have nothing (musically) in common with each other.

    I have this bootleg single from the 70's (on the Oldies 45 label) that couples B.J. Thomas'"Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" with Smiley Lewis'"Down Yonder We Go Ballin". What a Texas pop-rock singer named B.J. has to do with a New Orleans blues pianist named Smiley, I will never know. The fact that they're both from the South? They both have five fingers on each hand?

    About the cleverest oldies single pairing I've ever seen (on the American Pie label) is Quicksilver Messenger Service's "Fresh Air[/b]" with the Sweet's "Love Is Like Oxygen[/b]."
