That’s good, I wondered about some artists getting those links… Yes, as Mike says, it isn’t always clear what the A or B side is. One can make an assumption based on the lower matrix number. However, sometimes the second side was “pushed”. I think that was the case with this. Contemporary adverts will probably show the top side. Sometimes, the coupling was not of two consecutively numbered masters. I wonder why Decca stopped using A and B on their labels. It seems they used these designations from 1930 to around July 1950. On Philips, the records don’t have matrix numbers, but the Dutch catalogue numbers on the labels seem to end with 1 or 2. You could assume that 1 was the A-side, which would mean Your Cheatin’ Heart by Frankie Laine was the A-side and I Believe was the B-side. But the 78s don’t always follow this format.
