45RPM reissues: really better one-side pressing?


Hello friends,

a lot of Classic Records reissues, Jazz and classical, was made on double sides pressing (two LP's from an original LP) and a lot of other was made on one-side pressing version (four LP's, from 1 original title, with one side blanck).
The common opinion is the one-side press sounds better, due to minor stress of vinyl surface during the pressing step.
What's your opinion about? Audible diferences?
Rushton, are you on line?..:-))

As you all know here, a 45 rpm recording the groove spacing is wider spaced which puts less stress on the cartridge giving a overall relaxed presentation.

Classic Records did a "absolutely spectacular" job with Harry Belafonti's 1959 Carnigie Hall concert re-issue on single side 45 rpm box set.

Many of Music Matters Blue Note 45 rpm re-issues are another contender for top re-issues on the Planet.

Would a single side release of these Blue Notes exceed the dual side's ?

I like the single side release and wish all my 45 rpm's were done this way, for cleaning and playing.
An interesting thread. In my experience all 45s are outstanding but a great pain.

Thanks for the information, guys.
Dear Stiltskin: Yes, I really like the 45rpm: I wish it can have more " playing time " on each 45 LP, sometimes it has only 8-10 minutes on " program ".

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul,
A full evening of nothing but 45 rpm Lps is good for your cardial vascular system....
