What songs would you leave out or leave in?

Cram it all on. Sure, it would be lo-fi, but...

What is a "Double-A Single"? Are you talking about a 2-song single (as
in a 45-PRM Single?) or a 4-song EP, or what?

You know, back in th old days, when they made these little discs with
large holes in the center so you had to put a plastic thingy in the
hole if you wanted to play it on a grown-up record player, they used
to but a song on both sides. The prospective hit was the top one (side
A) and the not-so-hot one is on the flipside, or side B..
Sometimes both sides are so good that they put them both on one
record. Hence, 'Double-A single'.

That's what I thought you meant by "Double-A Single". I'm actually old
enough to have collected those little 45 RPM records with the big holes

I think The Beach Boys actually beat them to it, with "I Get Around" /
"Don't Worry Baby" in early 1964.
