The Music Direct version is 33 1/3 from the original master tapes. The Acoustic Sounds version is 45 Rpm. It says for better sound quality. 140/ 150 gram. Both are from Craft Recording. This is also from the original master tapes.
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?
