I don't recall if we've ever compiled a list of the best 12" 2fers where BOTH the A & B sides were hits---thereby giving you the most bang for your buck.
I'll start by mentioning a few:
DANCE (DISCO HEAT) - YOU MAKE ME FEEL (MIGHTY REAL) - Sylvester
GOT TO BE REAL/STAR LOVE - Cheryl Lynn
BEGIN THE BEGUINE/GONE, GONE, GONE - Johnny Mathis
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE/ALIVE WITH LOVE - Cut Glass
Any more ideas?

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

Now's there's an artist that I haven't heard of in a long time: Celi Bee & The Buzzy Bunch!!! Remember the song she made back in '76 called "Love Bug": "I'm your love bug, I'm gonna sting you with my love" (repeat), "I'm gonna sting you, sting you, sting you, sting you with my love"!!!Originally Written by shives
Now that's a cut I'd love to be able to find!!!

A personal favourite double-sided 12-incher of mine is Phyllis Nelson's Move Closer (easily my all-time favourite slow song for the dancefloor) backed with Take Me Nowhere. What a powerhouse of a song!
Was there ever a longer mix of Take Me Nowhere and did it get much attention?
