Hey "turntable tonight?" thread guys. Anyone else annoyed by this recent practice of placing a standard LP length recording onto 2 disks (4 sides)? 2-3 songs on a side makes for lots of up/downs to swap sides.
I can understand it for records that are significantly longer than a typical LP. However, standard record length releases spread across 4 sides seems like a marketing ploy to me.
Does anyone think/know if there is a significant Sound Quality improvement to having more available space to spread the track across? Also, what are your thoughts on records that have the album spread across only 3 sides of a double LP? I have a few like this.
Anyway, maybe I'm just getting lazy. But changing sides after only 10-12 minutes, or so, seems excessive to me.
Thoughts? Pro or Con....
