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)

Chayro, I'd say quite a few, they tend to sell very very well. It doesn't interest me, I don't have that kind of money. But many people do.
I've heard a few Blue Notes, and yes, they do sound great.
Since you don't own any I'm not sure what your rant's about, but have fun with it anyway....

well if you are a CCR fan get the 45 box set. it is worth every PENNY($) just for "suzie Q" or "peoud mary" among others. you have not heard the power of vinyl until you hear a recording such as these. then there are used 45s like roxy music's tribute to lennon "jealous Guy". not a roxy fan but it sounds great. point being when done right 45's take you to the next level. AND IS THAT NOT WHAT VINYL IS ALL ABOUT!?

I just did an "A-B" of the Classic 45RPM edition of "Satchmo Plays King Oliver" with my 1960 Murry Hill reissue box set containing the same album. The Classic Records is shadow of the sound on this old thing I bought for $5 (for 3LPs) at a garage sale.
