[NJARC] The resurgence of vinyl: The 45 RPM LP

[Harry]

The only problem going to the 78 format is that many of the more current turntables and older good turntables do not have the 78 rpm speed.  Every turntable has the 45 speed.

The Audiophiles were just beginning to tinker with the advantages of 45 rpm
in the late 1990s when I wrote my dissertation on the phonograph record.
It's too bad that the NYT reporter failed to notice that many rap and dance
music albums have been broken into two LP discs playing only 12-15 minutes a
side, albeit largely at 33 1/3 rpm.  And if the current generation of 45
fanatics was really serious, they'd consider RCA's Acoustics Lab engineer
Herbert Belar's advice on the 33 LP v. 45 single question in 1948 and simply
update the 78-rpm format to microgroove on a 12-inch disc.

Cheers, Alex

Article in today's New York Times: Back in the Groove: Jazz Reissues on
Vinyl

Vinyl not only isn't dead, it's back with a twist: reissues of classic
jazz LPs on 12" single-sided discs cut at 45 RPM!
