45RPM reissues: really better one-side pressing?

Hello friends,

a lot of Classic Records reissues, Jazz and classical, was made on double sides pressing (two LP's from an original LP) and a lot of other was made on one-side pressing version (four LP's, from 1 original title, with one side blanck).
The common opinion is the one-side press sounds better, due to minor stress of vinyl surface during the pressing step.
What's your opinion about? Audible diferences?
Rushton, are you on line?..:-))

Ezio, without hearing the same mastering pressed both ways, there's no way to know. I'm not convinced that single-sided pressings are better. It's hard to imagine better sonics than coming from the Music Matters Blue Note 45rpm reissue series - and they are two sided pressings.

Very interesting. The two copies of the Mary Stallings LP (one single sided and the other double sided) that Gerrym5 listened to would be the best comparison to make. Thanks for taking the time to listen and report what you hear!
