45RPM reissues: really better one-side pressing?

Very interesting. The two copies of the Mary Stallings LP (one single sided and the other double sided) that Gerrym5 listened to would be the best comparison to make. Thanks for taking the time to listen and report what you hear!

Dear Gerrym5: Yes, Mary is a gem!

Regards and enjoy the music.

As you all know here, a 45 rpm recording the groove spacing is wider spaced which puts less stress on the cartridge giving a overall relaxed presentation.

Classic Records did a "absolutely spectacular" job with Harry Belafonti's 1959 Carnigie Hall concert re-issue on single side 45 rpm box set.

Many of Music Matters Blue Note 45 rpm re-issues are another contender for top re-issues on the Planet.

Would a single side release of these Blue Notes exceed the dual side's ?

I like the single side release and wish all my 45 rpm's were done this way, for cleaning and playing.

An interesting thread. In my experience all 45s are outstanding but a great pain.

Thanks for the information, guys.

Dear Stiltskin: Yes, I really like the 45rpm: I wish it can have more " playing time " on each 45 LP, sometimes it has only 8-10 minutes on " program ".

Regards and enjoy the music.
