This was a process known as automatic sequence It was common practice to put Sides 1 and 3 on the first album and Sides 2 and 4 on the second album of a double album in the 70 s especially for live albums Notable exceptions to this were KISS Alive ans KISS Alive II the latter being that only three sides were live anyway In contrast Bob Seger s Silver Bullet was pressed in automatic sequence and even the three album Woodstock compilation went so far as to have Sides sequenced as 1 and 4 2 and 5 and 3 and 6 The pressing of THIS album in such fashion was certainly not in error
