Tom,

The 10-12 minute sides bother me as well. I don't doubt it helps with SQ but think the larger factors (in regard to SQ) are how well they were mastered & pressed. Case in point... "The Golden Palominos OAO album" as well as "Calexico's Black Light album" are both >20 minutes per side & spectacular sounding. There are many others in my colection that fit that category as well. On the other hand, probably my best sounding album (SQ wise) is "The Butthole Surfers Widowmaker! EP", which is 45RPM / 12 minutes (approx.) per side, & the 45RPM Radiohead LP's seem to sound better than the 33's. So there is that...   

Glad I could clear that up for Y'all 😀

Yes… Tedesch Trucks disc is 3 sides w 4th a complete stylus eater…if the operator is in the cups…

Tim - Man, do i wanna follow you around with the Widowmaker EP at a high end  Audio show….giving the old white dudes ( i am one ) a widowmaker cardiac event…when it’s playing…. hilarious…

Anyone have any 3 sided records with cool artwork pressed into side 4? 

Terry Allen’s Just Like Moby Dick has what looks like a whale with harpoons stuck in it. Not sure about the cool factor, it’s more like someone scratched it in the vinyl with a nail or something. Maybe it’s not even a whale…

I've 70s almost flexi-thin vinyl that sound incredible and 180 gram LPs that are noisy and dull.
 

my experience as well.  

The new fleet foxes “shore” has art on the 4th side.  It’s kinda nice.

I really need to invest in an US cleaner I think.

Was sitting listening to a recent Neil Young interview/podcast on YouTube, made by Broken Record (look it up, it’s worth a listen)….really fun stuff, but now I’m itching to listen to music, so will go back to that later….so….what else?…

Neil Young - After The Gold Rush. Reprise reissue 1978, originally 1970

Supertramp-Crisis? What Crisis? Side II

Shakti With John McLaughlin-A Handful Of Beauty Side 2

Susannah McCorkle-How Do You Keep The Music Playing Side 2 SQ Audiophile 4.7

Jefferson Starship-Spitfire Side B

Dionne Warwick-Hot Live And Otherwise Side II

Rimsky-Korsakov-(MS 6080 Six Eye) Side 2 SQ Audiophile 4.6

Pat Benatar-Get Nervous Side 1

George Benson/Earl Klugh-Collaboration Side 2 SQ Audiophile 4.7

Very disappointed with the SQ on Crisis? What Crisis? It appears to be an original pressing its flat/dull sounding but I did like the content. Benson/Klugh and McCorkle are near reference level SQ recordings. I would give McCorkle the slight edge for sounding more organic(less polished) but both could be used as demo recordings.

Neil Young - Comes A Time. Reprise 1978

Holy crap…..I kinda ignore this album, and haven’t played it a long time, but man, the Treo’s really ‘open this album up’ incredibly; the stage is huge. Really nice.

Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood. 
 

It’s a Neko kind of night.

Great choice. Poetic Champions Compose is a fantastic album. I spent a lot of time listening to that when I worked at a record store a long time ago. 

Osi and the Jupiter - Appalachia.
 

Really interesting and good album. Classified as Neo-folk. I managed to snag the 45rpm pressing before it was sold out. Really glad I got it.
