Why are some double vinyl records sided A/D and B/C?
I have several double LPs. It seems like they should all be sided A/B and C/D. It was explained to me once that if records are sided A/C and B/D, it’s so that a radio station could play the whole thing on two turntables with no breaks to flip the record, but A/D and B/C never made sense to me, because you still have to flip the second record to play continuously.
Yeah I always thought A/D B/C was weird too. The idea is to stack the records. Older turntables could hold records on top of the spindle. Bad idea, but people didn’t care back then. After the A-side (record 1) finished playing, the B-side (record 2) would drop and play. Then you’d only have to flip the two and continue.
Hope this helps,
