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?..:-))

Ezio, without hearing the same mastering pressed both ways, there's no way to know. I'm not convinced that single-sided pressings are better. It's hard to imagine better sonics than coming from the Music Matters Blue Note 45rpm reissue series - and they are two sided pressings.

You can charge more money with that.
We should be - very - lucky, that "they" don't do "1-Song-Per-Side" pressings
