Although the majority of records don't technically have a "first side" and a "second side", there are certainly some that do, such as symphonies and operas.
You could buy small adhesive coloured dots and place one on the first side.
Yes, I totally agree with you and have this problem often when playing records - I have to take the record into a brighter room to see what the sides are! And some records don't have the sides listed at all.... @tony1954 - As for technically records not having a 'first side' or 'second side', that's like saying there is no particular running order for the songs; there is usually a great deal of effort by all in determining running order/sequencing of songs. Might not matter for streamers but it does for most vinyl enthusiasts, I'd think. |
I spent 50+ years listening to records and although I do agree with there being a decision by the artist/producer regarding the sequencing of the songs on an individual record side, I don't think that they think of a record as having a "part one" and "part two". More likely they design each side as an individual music experience. |
