Love David Gray, in particular White Ladder as it summed up / captured a life phase i was in….thanks Tom, i will check that out. The recuts MAY be driven by a move back to manual recutting with less compression and bass demphahasis (eq) caused by computerized lathe. Dynamic range and volume at low end drive spacing… The wider spacing is better up to a point.

I surfed right up next to buying a manual Skulley lathe tgen discovered the Ferrari oil change bill… ha.

Dad had the stacker attachment for the 1019 Idler drive Dual TT but we were expressly forbidden ( verboten in Dual speak ) to even eye such a device…..

I am a slacker stacker Robot

Tom, I was just goofing.  I have some compilations that have side 1 & 4 on one disc and 2 & 3 on the other.  I always chuckle a little when I see those. 

I do get annoyed by that, but on the other hand, just the last couple of days I've played a couple of records that have a bunch of songs on each side and hear occasional weird chirps / distortion.

I am more annoyed that we seem to be back to having to solve a picture captcha for every post.  That is going to put an end to my posting days.

Hey "turntable tonight?" thread guys. Anyone else annoyed by this recent practice of placing a standard LP length recording onto 2 disks


Tom, I don’t like it either. It increases the likelihood of getting a noisy pressing (1 vs. 2LPs) and spoils the continuity of songs for some records IMO.
