Indeed!

One anomaly to this is where the a-side was  the instro and the 
b-side was the vocal:

Phil L.A. of Soul # 313
Cliff Nobles
The Horse b/w Love Is All Right

Love is All Right is great vocal version of The Horse

Phil L.A. of Soul had another strange tune like this. Phil L.A. of 
Soul # 305  by The Fantastic Johnny C was
Boogaloo Down Broadway b/w Look What Love Can Make You Do. Look What 
Love Can Make You Do was the same backing track with completely 
different kyrics.

I heard the B-side of The Horse played by Big Jay Sorenson on his 
'Time Machine' in the waning days of WNBC. I then played it on my 
show about a week later (not so he'd know as I was on a 100watt day 
timer many kilometeres  away!). That lead me to flipping Booglaoo 
Down Broadway the follwing week as part of an undiscovered gems 
segment. Yeah -- try to get them to do that on Bob-FM or Jack-FM or 
whathevr -- right -- we play anything my a$$!

Both smashing tracks
