Wow - it couldn't be that 12 inch 45rpm "makes your jaw drop in disbelief" at the sound quality format could it? Enjoy - I am sure they sound unbelievable.
However, first pic post 2? What are they doing? They seemed to have wasted a massive percentage of the disc space available, when surely they could have used it for the same two tracks, and provided even higher quality?
Does anyone know of a good reason for why you'd not want to use all the available space?
Most of my 12 inch 45s use the available space - I haven't got one that uses as little as that - even for one track!

The idea is to keep the grooves in the sweet spot of most tonearms. As a lot of tonearms move closer to the center there can be some significant tracking errors and distortions that could be caused by anti-skate mechanisms. It doesn't matter if you have a tangent tracker, but pivoted arms are always facing geometric compromises as they move closer to the center spindle.
And RichTeer - yeah - the best selling 12 inch of all time! Shame the cover cost so much money they never actually made any on it. Or so the story goes. Typical Factory...

Are they extremely short tracks?

nice find Steve, I too am curious as to your take on the pressings for I do enjoy the CD version.
And Tim is right, distortion increases as the track tightens past a certain point.
Well, yes, it does, but I was really looking for an explanation as to how the arrangement on that record really achieves what Tim stated - simply because I can't see why it would.
