Double LP Side Numbering Scheme


Friday night rambling here folks. Listening to The Tubes - What Do You Want From Live LP and wondering why some double LPs are number side 1 and side 2 on one LP, with side 3 and side 4 on the second LP, but others are numbered side 1 and side 4 on the first LP and side 2 and side 3 on the second LP?

I can understand them being 1,2 then 3,4. But I don't see a reason for the 1,4, then 2, 3 numbering scheme.

Do any of you vinylphiles know a reason for the 2 different numbering schemes? BTW, I don't recall ever seeing a double LP numbers 1,3, the 2, 4. Just saying'.......

Given a choice, I would go for 1,2, the 3,4 every time......

I know we're not solving world hunger here. Just curious if there is a reason for the different numbering schemes.
