[78-L] OT: Instrumental B-sides to singles

[David Lewis]

I found this white label promo 45 in the thrift store Saturday:
 
Warner Bros. 
Records
Made in U.S.A. Warner Bros. Records, Inc. A Subsidiary of Warner Bros. Pictures Inc.
 
George                                      5632
Goodman                                     (HX14456)
and his
Headliners
Instrumental
 
Let Me Love You
(Genne Salo)
Donnator Music
BMI - 2:57
An Ideal Record
Production
 
My question is: What was the rationale behind issuing an instrumental backing with no vocal for promotional purposes? To provide an additional bit of background music just in case they didn't like the A-side? And admittedly, the vocal arrangement on the "A" of this disc is a tad confused.
 
For my part, I used it to accompany some words of Sarah Palin:
