That's pretty much where I was coming from. I mean, some people scarcely stray form the 12". Just to completely contradict my case, I was most pleased with the six track 3x12" release of The Tuss album, as each track has more than sufficient space at 45, and it sounds fantastic. And they kept costs pretty low. Hard to see how they made much money on that although surely AFX sells buttloads of records. Tristan ======= http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
