Am I the only one that have been thinking about this? Why is the All The World´s A Stage vinyls wrong?

 

On first record its Side A and then on other side its Side D. And on the second record its side B and side C.

 

It´s like this on both original vinyls and the new remastered ones. It´s so weird... why did they do it this way?

Union, yes, I agree, that's what I recalled. I'd line up Side A on the bottom, followed by Side B, then when they finished playing, I'd flip the stack, and they were set for Side C, then Side D to follow. As easy as possible to listen to the concert in order.

Yep..that's it...put on A&B, then flip and it's C&D! Less messing with it! Although after the turntables changed to not have the stacker because people were starting to think stacking the albums messed them up, it sort of got to be a pain..play side a...then pull out the next album for side b and put side a away for 30 minutes...etc....

Photographic evidence ! tomhealey and Union, your posts brought back a lot of nice memories. My turntable would hold up to six albums at once on the spindle.

That's weird. My vinyl copy has it normal, with side A and B on one record, and C and D on the other :huh:

My two copies are the same, not designed for record player stackers. Weird. I don't have the Mercury releases, though.

Not sure if that is better or worse than most of my vinyl getting destroyed during the Great Water Heater Burst and Den Flood of 1988. Sounds like more fun, anyway! :D A rough year for vinyl for sure! :D :D

Double albums were always pressed that way in the past for a reason. It's not hard to figure out if you're old enough to remember turntables with the post in the middle for stacking albums. I think later on that practice was stopped Edited by satchmothesnowdog

My copy purchased either 1976 or 1977, Canadian Anthem pressing with the typo "By-Tore & The Snow Dog" (later corrected), has Record 1 Side 1/2 and Record 2 Side 3/4. My double live albums from the seventies occasionally Sides 1/4 and Sides 2/3 but mostly the other way.

I have been completely digital ever since.... :drool:

Funny story, my parents in the late 60's were moving to California and their moving van with a bunch of records and more importantly, dishes, clothes, furniture flew off a mountain in New Mexico...my Dad had to go thru the remaining few items that were delivered to the base he was stationed at, all burned, broken etc...so LP's are a no no for my family

Quite a few double and triple live lps did this format back in the day.Studio lps didn't escape it either,I still have my Hendrix Electric Lady land in this format.Im sure Yessongs and Welcome Back My Friends, Yes and ELP respectively, both triple lives were the same although they are buried deep in the shed and would take me a week to find them.Anyone remember when they jumbled the order on cassettes to make the sides even(Wishbone Ash ,Argus,Four) or for that matter anyone remember cassettes,sigh!
