Edit: Also read the notes on discogs. The comments say at least one of these are very quiet/not great presses. I have wondered, why is quiet even a problem? Can't you just pump up the volume if you have great speakers/receiver? I did see that review and didn't worry about for that reason and the overall rating is amazing for the pressing.

I have a question... maybe I am no vinyl expert (I am definitely more knowledgeable than average person). On a 12 inch record, my understanding was the general maximum for a side was 22.5 minutes. Making it about 45 minutes in length. Now, I am aware that you can extend the length a little bit but it generally deteriorates the sound. Now, I just ordered 2 albums I really wanted on discogs (really rare ones). Now I didn't think about this until I received them. I ordered the following 2 records and their lengths. 3 feet High and Rising- 67:24- https://www.discogs.com/De-La-Soul-3-Feet-High-And-Rising/release/79899 De La Soul is Dead- 73:30. https://www.discogs.com/De-La-Soul-De-La-Soul-Is-Dead/release/408450 Look at those lengths... average side would be what 35-37 minutes? Both of these albums are SINGLE LPs. I have albums that are 20 minutes less and been put on doubles for crying out loud! Now both records have a lot of reviews on discogs and are rated well, so that eases my mind a bit. However, I am still worried about overall sound quality, isn't it going to be a significant difference, or is there some type of special vinyl it could have been put on to avoid a double LP? I just got them in mail this morning and haven't had opportunity to listen to them, should I be worried about it. Just confused on the whole matter. I linked the discogs links to the pressings in case someone wanted to check out the pressing I had. Ease my mind and confusion! Thanks!
