    30% more playing time - (around 55 minutes?) if it's something like 150% the price to press that would be massive for labels. I have so many double albums that come in around 50 min... to think it's doubled the weight and the related costs/ carbon footprint associated with shipping them it can be totally fucking daft.

    TBH I've stopped buying anything other than old vinyl and high quality pressings because the general standard of these days is so low. When you can pick up a flimsy as fuck LP from the 80s for £2 and it sounds better than the modern £40 180g reissue... something is seriously fucked in that market... so I welcome this but probably more snake oil.
