Show Notes
Double Sided Hits
Back in the days of vinyl singles songs were released with a designated A side and a B side. Often the B side became just as popular as the A side. Thus a double sided hit was created. Elvis Presley had 39 double sided hits while The Beatles had 24. In this program we feature six performers who had double sided hits: Roy Orbison (Candy Man/Crying), The Beatles (She’s A Woman/I feel Fine), Brenda Lee (I’m Sorry/That’s All You Gotta Do), Dionne Warwick (I Say A Little prayer/ Valley Of The Dolls), Billy Thorpe (Love Letters/Dancing In The Streets) and Ricky Nelson (Hello Mary Lou/Travellin’ Man).

Pop songs from the ANTIPODES (Australia and New Zealand) span decades of iconic chart toppers, indie pop gems and alternative rock. This week’s episode includes the four time grammy winner Olivia Newton John with Xanadu, New Zealand’s art pop group Split Enz with their melodic I Hope I Never. Allison McCallum’s Superman and Max Merritt and the Meteors’ Western Union Man are also great artists from across the Tasman. Mental as Anything’s debut song The Nips are Getting Bigger, Kamahl’s The Sounds of Goodbye along with the Go Betweens and Christie Allen serve as Australian representatives.
In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.
