Default Re: Why both 33 and 45 ?

When Don Mclean's American Pie was released as a single it had to be over 2 sides as the mastering engineers found it was impossible to fit the whole 8 minutes on 1 side without messing the sound quality too much.

In the early days of LPs some were 10 inch, which was occasionally used a "medium play" or "mini album" format since then.
