Etymology
The term "el costat A" comes from the practice of labeling the two sides of vinyl records or cassette tapes as A and B. The 'A side' was designated for the primary or most commercially viable songs, while the 'B side' contained secondary tracks. This usage became popular in the mid-20th century with the rise of physical music media.
