Mate, not this or any other time! You're talking about physics. It's
simply
not possible to have the same sound on a 5-track 12" side as it is on a
one-track 10" side. I mean, just look at the things side-by-side -
they are
physically very different. It's like expecting a guitar the size of
your arm
to sound like a Strat.
Just knit picking here, but these pressings have 4 tracks per side. I
knew it wouldn't be the same as my normal pressings I buy (1-2 a side)
but i was hoping that 4 tracks, each off a 10" to one 12" would not
depreciate too much beyond what I was used to, but it did.
I can only thank the laws of physics for that. What's with mother
nature and all her stupid laws anyway.
My opinion is that I really like single-piece LPs, and they are a rare
thing
these days. You lose amplitude (volume), but you gain a nice 'item'.
My biggest disappointment was when I found out they were pressing 8
tracks on one record. It so happens I'm missing every release on the
LP. If it was a double Ip could have used that to complete my
collection in two foul swoops. my pov! I have seen a lot of hip hop
single LPs around though if that fits your bag
Worth
it, for me. The 10"s are still being pressed, so what's the problem?
I never see them around here, does anybody know who in the midwest USA
stocks these records on the regular?Seems like everyones got the LPs
but the 10"s are scare.
Best,
Andrew
PS. Happy birthday.
