Why can’t “Side A” and “Side B” be a bigger font?!?!
Yes, I totally agree with you and have this problem often when playing records - I have to take the record into a brighter room to see what the sides are! And some records don't have the sides listed at all....  @tony1954  - As for technically re...

So sad to hear this - the Beserkely legend; saw him play a number of times here in the SF Bay Area. Always loved 'The Breakup Song'....
