33.3 is now superior to 45

Personally, I've always preferred 33.3 records, as I think they sound just fine and you don't have to change the record every 10 minutes. But the industry insisted that you had to have 45 rpm and that it was totally superior and that you had to have two records instead of one to clean and store. Well - guess what? Now Acoustic Sounds is telling you that their 33.3 reissues are superior to the 45s. So now you can all go out and buy another copy of Sidewinder or Dark Side of the Moon when it comes out. I just thought I would let you know so you can rush to pre-order.

I love audiophilia! We get to buy the same thing over and over and over and over again. I got the LP, then the cassette, then the CD, then the remastered CD, then the SACD, then the remastered LP, then the remastered LP in 45 rpm and now! THE REMASTERED REMASTER LP IN 33.3! I am in heaven. When is the 78 version coming out? Oh, wait, I need the download, then the hi res download, then the DSD download. I can have a whole record collection and only own one album. Yep, amazing.

A whole record collection with only one title. That's hilarious! Unfortunately, it's too true. I, for one, won't be fooled by another format or a remaster of the remaster. Sorry, music industry, but these marketing ploys have really gone too far.

Hi Davt,
That's funny and insightful. The good thing is this is voluntary and the choice to buy or not belongs to us the consumer. The market supplies these multiple formats and we determine the demand or need for the products.

One wonders what those jazz musicians, most of whom lived a hand to mouth transient existence, might think of this craziness, if they were around to see it. I suspect they'd laugh at us. The solos and improvisation that we go ga-ga over were mostly one-offs; they probably played the same tune differently from day to day and thought nothing of it. Listening to an LP rendition is like looking at a snapshot of your summer vacation 20 years ago. But it's all we have.
