You can put 30 or more minutes of regular-sounding music on a side, often
commercial compilations use this amount, but it sounds very quiet, is damaged
very easily and deteriorates like nobody's business. A decent pressing at
33rpm shouldn't really have more than 20 minutes a side, especially if it's
something bass heavy.
Autechre's new LP is pressed extremely well, congratulations to all at Warp.
It worries me that a double-vinyl package is usually a couple of quid cheaper
than a single-cd release, yet surely double vinyl is far more expensive to
manufacture? Is price fixing a commonly accepted part of the business?
Cheerio!
