Double LPs May 4, 2019 12:35:17 GMT -5 via mobile

I've been wondering this for years, why exactly are Definitely Maybe and WTSMG double albums? They're not particularly long I don't think, surely there are single LPs longer than either of them? It makes me not bother playing them a lot of the time, I feel like Liam on stage getting up and down; a yo-yo, as it were.

This is probably off-topic for this forum, BUT, to answer your question: it sorta depends who you ask. Some audiophiles will tell you that spacing the grooves out on vinyl discs allows more room for higher-fidelity sound, so the quality is improved. But I'll tell you that labels would more likely love to charge you for 2 discs when possible. I agree that it's annoying to turn a single album into a double LP.

The more tracks you squeeze onto a single side of vinyl the worse the sound quality is. That is why you see more and more bands spacing an album out over two LPs. Especially since most albums today go over the 45 min limit for proper sounding vinyl.

I saw that. No worries. A mod will surely move it to the proper place. BTW, welcome!

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
