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?

The quality of the 45 RPM speaks for itself. Why on earth would anyone spend more money and go through the hassle of dealing with four sides to listen to one album if the quality wasn't better? Joe

Sorry, this isn't to suggest that 7 inch 45rpm's sound better than 33.3 LP's They do not. Joe
