it depends really. it might depend on the length of the track. 33 or 45 rpms. i have a few electron industries release that play at 45 and take up the whole slab and the track is only like 6 0r 7 minutes long. also, who wide or thin the grooves are. i don't really know the technicalities oh that. any other thoughts???
