Record Pressing or Vinyl Pressing is enjoying a resurgence in the past few years. Lots of bands in specific response to their fans now issue both a CD and Vinyl version.
And there are lots of questions that come up around how to do that. Specifically, how much music can fit on each side? Interesting question for a generation who has never manufactured a tape or vinyl before.
Here’s a table to illustrate how each format has a different limit
| 7" with a large hole 45 LP | 4 - 4.5 minutes |
|---|---|
| 7" with a small hole 33 LP | 6 - 6.5 minutes |
| 12" 33 LP | 20 - 21 is OK 18 minutes is ideal |
