Hi everyone. So here is my pet hate- double LP's that have short (10-12 min) listening sides. Don't you just hate having to get up and turn the disc over, just when you've managed to snuggle down and relax.
But as Sod's Law dictates most of my favourite LP's (often made during the CD era) are indeed doubles. So I was wondering what you thought of a vinyl specific rerelease label that only did single, full length LP's, cutting the odd "weaker" track out in order to fit the album on.
Does that sound sacrilegious? Or is it a bright idea for an audiophile rerelease label? Would artists and labels ever give permission for their "completed works" to be "abridged'?
Wouldn't you just love wonderful hifi records like Beck's Sea Change, Radiohead Kid A, War on Drugs Lost in the Dream etc if they fitted onto one lovely side? One record to produce and purchase, one record to clean. IGD might be a concern, but keen vinyl heads tend to have cartridges that track properly anyway.
Opinions?
