Maybe I'm wrong, but I've never checked a vinyl thinking "ow, let's listen to the A-side, and maybe then I'll check the B-side too", but in non-electronic music I'm much more aware of this.
anyway, nice post!
You're right Kiani, with electronic music it usually isn't about the a or b side but with vinyl I do sometimes feel that labels need to fill up the space with lesser tracks, resulting in an A (better quality) side and the so called B (lesser quality track).
The question is, why bother doing that? ..both from a label and artist perspective..
