I have quite a few both single and double sided and the sound is definitely superior to the 33. In many cases it isn't even close. It simply is not physically possible to equal what can be done with a 45 when you slow it down to 33. I agree that I would pefer less discs for the sake of convenience, but if you want the best possible sound and have a vinyl playback system capable of extracting what these discs have to offer then this is it, warts and all. I would also prefer the convenience of ditching the vinyl all together and playing little shiny discs but that results in inferior sound too.
Who asked for this?
I personally think the new 2-album 45 rpm craze is a PITA and that the record companies could have brought out a product that was 98% as good on one 33.3 rpm disc. Who wants to clean and store and extra disc with every record? Well, the vinyl industry must have heard my plea and is now releasing an even bigger abomination: FOUR single-sided 45 rpm discs per record. I'm sure you can't wait to get your hands on this stuff so you can spend even more time screwing around with the records and less time listening. (nothing personal - just a rant)
