For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
@folkfreak Thanks for the follow up on the BOTW thread. Very detailed review, well done. There are a couple of Classic Records that I have my eye on from Discogs that I feel more confident about moving forward on based on your impressions Thank you
@6t5-gto yes the Classic 45rpms are good but everyone I have is without exception warped so that the outer edges of the playing side are 1-2mm up. This is a function of them being blank on the reverse side. If you have a vacuum setup, edge clamp or a good flattened, or you can tolerate this issue go ahead but don’t let it surprise you.
I thought Classic was (the first) to introduce what is now known as a non- raised outer edge. Forgive me, as right now, I cannot think of the correct way of explaining this.
Yes @slaw, correct they press (2 sided and one sided) without that lip. The issue with the one sided 45rpms is that being pressed on only one side they dish warp towards that side. I've never tried to take this warp out given the thickness of the vinyl, nor have I ever had any playback problems as it's a uniform warp but the buyer should be aware of this tendency
