Weird Vinyl (Records)-three records, five sides?

Thank God It's Friday, The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (3 records for $4)

I am blogging about this set of records because:

1) The manufacturer stuffed  THREE records into the record jacket. Two were regular 33 1/3s, and one was a 12 inch single. (They are definitely snug in there.)

But more importantly,
2) The 12 inch single covers only one side of the record. The other side is blank. How weird is that? Some of my antique Victrola records are one sided, but I had not seen a "modern" single sided record before this. It gives the term "single" a brand new meaning.

Look for this in the record section of the back room.
