Consider
The Beatles Double A Side Single Hey Jude/Revolution
Heard this on the radio the other day. Hey Jude. Takes you back, way back doesn't it? And then throw in Revolution (sample lyrics below) can you believe that these two great songs were released at the same time on the same single. These two songs would have been a career for most bands. But wait, there's more, they were left off of the White Album as the Beatles did not believe in including songs that you had already paid for on a single.
So what did you get for your 7/6d or your $.99? Only the most soulful McCartney ballad/rocker ever and John Lennon's take on using your loaf; a most literate response to blind allegiance of any kind and a full out rocker to boot. Of course its no "Baby One More Time", and A Hard Days Night is no Justin Beiber: Never Say Never, but then what is?
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
