There was a huge disagreement among the Bee Gees as to their next single. Robin Gibb wanted “Lamplight” as the A-side; Barry, Maurice and manager Robert Stigwood wanted “First Of May” instead. Robin lost out, which led to his departure from the group for about 18 months. Even though this did well in the UK, it was relatively disappointing in the States. They wouldn’t see the Top 40 again in America until “Lonely Days,” their first release after Robin rejoined his brothers.

Why didn't they just release it as a "two-sided" single?
Both sides are fantastic songs, each in their own right.
