For the young'uns, it might be weird to think of releasing a 3-sided vinyl album.  I don't know if anyone else has done it.  Weird thing to see a record back then, with one of the sides grooveless!

Wasn't Joe Jackson's Big World 3-sided as well?

Did Monty Python put out a "three-sided" album with two grooves on one side?  I was never
sure if that was a UK-only release or just a joke.

I had never heard of this multi-groove thing!  Interesting.
