Thanks guys. I suppose it makes more sense now, but I'm still surprised that record companies would label sides with LP changers in mind, rather than what made more sense for standard turntables, which surely outnumbered changers by a wide margin.
Curious record side labeling
Do any of the jazz gurus on here know why some double-set records have this curious side labeling where record 1 has sides A and D, and record 2 sides B and C? It does not make much sense to me, and I wonder what purpose it serves other than to confuse the listener. I noticed this with a couple of Coltrane records from the '60s, recently with "The Other Village Vanguard Tapes."
