A further limitation of the record is that with a constant rotational speed, the quality of the sound may differ across the width of the record because the inner groove modulations are more compressed than those of the outer tracks.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

No that depend of what type of material you got.Flex wrote:So that would suggest it's sort of the opposite of what b-boy was saying, no? I guess it wouldn't have been practical to put the shittiest tracks first on the album though.Heston wrote:From Wiki:

It depend of the "arm" there is at least to type of arm (???)
What i was trying to say is about the sound
Think about it
Why the Dj used maxi vynil more than conventionnal LP ?
It's because more you need basse for the song more you need a large furrow
I've got to go
See you soon

The maxi vinyl example makes sense. Okay, this may require some actual research on my part.

Re: Albums, how long is too long
Im with dd on this...35-45 mins was ideal.
I hated taping an album on a C90 only to have one track forced onto side two of the tape.
Filler on an album isnt as much of an pain now as it was when you placed the needle on the first groove and listened to a whole side, forcing you to sit through the below avarage seconed last track that appeared on nearly every release.

Re: Albums, how long is too long
When I used to make cassettes of lp's, I could always find a song to edit out so that an album fit onto one side of a C90.wmhp2 wrote:Im with dd on this...35-45 mins was ideal.

My biggest problem were with albums by the Jam. They were a bit too long to fit on one side of a C60 and way too short
to fit on one side of a C90; so I was always searching for singles and b-sides to fill out the tape.
