the thorens is fine...just a sarcastic comment about the state of the vinyl industry. the 45 rpm 'second bie' approach from the labels is just a way to get 'found money' on each release.
why are most new releases going to four sides?
I know a number of new albums are being cut with cd in mind (50+ minutes) and with the longer length are being put on four sides of vinyl
personally some of these could easily squeeze onto 2 sides and it would be nice to hear 20+ minutes at a time instead of 2 songs per side
perhaps the expanded grooves have more fidelity, and certainly there is less inner groove distortion, but wouldn't it be nice to hear a whole side in one sitting?
