Typically they were only collected in albums when they were a coherent work, Mozart's Requiem, for example. There would some number of records, n/2, with side 1 and side n on one disk, side 2 and side n-1 on the next and so on up to side n/2 and side (n/2)+1 on the last. These would be placed on the record changer with side 1 as the top side of the bottom record and played till they got to side n/2, at which point the entire stack would be flipped and the last half of the piece would be played. You could shuffle the stack and simulate the shuffle option now available on most CD players.
