Correct. So the actual answer is that both pairs of albums contain songs with the same title.
I was only intending to award one overall point but I've changed my mind and will give you two points for that - two more are up for grabs for the other two.
No googling!

1. I can distantly recall that Felt once supported The Fall in the early 80s. Not sure if it was Felt's debut, though.

I demand an additional bonus point, over and above my previous one, for knowing that a more grammatical title would have been 'Mr. Sanchez and I'.
