How many copies you want? For years I thought that had occurred only on 
Canadian pressings but it affected at least one US press run as well. Every 
Canadian pressing of 35822 from about 1942 till it was recut (here) for the 
"RCA" label has an acoustical side 2. The odd thing is that it must have been a 
restoration to the catalog, because I have never run across a 1930s Canadian 
issue of the Rhapsody. (I was right..neither American in Paris nor Rhapsody in 
Blue is in the 1941 Canadian Victor catalogue.)

Meanwhile, back to our original question.
