Baby Baby – was the B-side of ‘What in the world’s come over you’ released in Jan 1960. I don’t understand why this would appear on JBJ 10 months later.
There was a single released in Nov 1960 called ‘Patsy’ and I think that is more likely to have been the song played.
Yes, I think this was a misunderstanding by the person who provided this info. Alley Cat (NME) had commented “Why did Stewart Morris play mediocre B-side of Jack Scott disc on ‘Juke Box Jury’?”, and this was assumed to be the b-side of WITW. However, as you say, Baby Baby was a new release at that time, so presumably the record played was its flipside, “Old Time Religion”.
”D’ in Love’ was the b-side of Cliff’s ‘I Love You’ (written by Shadows guitarist Bruce Welch) single – which was the Christmas no. 1 for 1960. Not sure why ”D’ in Love’ would’ve been played.
The producer didn’t always choose the A-side, if he preferred the other side. Also, there could be could be confusion in the music industry as to which side *was* the A-side. For instance, Disc magazine reviewed “D in Love” as though it was the A-side and it actually charted in its own right!
