33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better


Growing up, I was a big Peanuts comics fan including Vince Guaraldi’s music.

Recently, a remastered from tape “Great Pumpkin” vinyl was announced in both 331/3rpm and 45rpm, both are a single LP each at Elusive Disc. Both albums have the same number of songs.

It seems that playing slower allows for wider grooves, while faster may mean longer grooves. If so, I’ve no clue which one is better.

Which version offer the best sonics?

It’s a crap shoot (I would think).
Maybe get them both and put the less liked one onto Disc cogs?

How much are they?

Wow, that didn't occur to me.  Guess I'll do that - $26 + $30 ain't much nowadays.  Thanks

@kennyc - save the packing… You’ll need the packing to ship it.
(And we can work out a price off-line.)
