The quote in Spanish about a Norse god is from a story by Jorge Luis Borges, here's an English translation: https://biblioklept.org/2019/04/02/the-disk-a-very-short-sto...

And in Spanish here: https://www.poeticous.com/borges/el-disco?locale=es

(Not having much Spanish, I at first thought "Odin's disco(teque)" and then "no, that doesn't make sense about sides", but then, surely primed by English "disco", thought "it must mean Odin's record/lp/album".)

Odin's records have no B-sides, because everything Odin writes is fire!

Back when things really had A and B sides, it was moderately common for big artists to release a "Double A" in which both titles were heavily promoted, e.g. Nirvana's "All Apologies" and "Rape Me" are a double A, the Beatles "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" likewise.
