Comment on The information density on a vinyl can be higher earlier in the record than later...

I’ve heard that good songs were put on the outside and the shittier ones were relegated to the inside since the quality is worse. But a vinyl has two sides to it, which lead to the phenomenon that when listening to a CD, there was suddenly a big loud and busy number right in the middle of the album, after a lull.

I used to work for a few record companies, including a small one that was very influential, and I was in the middle of everything, from album concepts, through recording and production, artwork, liner notes, etc., as well as the largest record company in America at the time, and never once in 30 years did I ever hear anybody suggest that the “shittier” songs should be relegated to the inner rings, because the sound is inferior.
That’s just nonsensical on multiple levels, and it has NEVER happened.

News flash: vinyl records existed before 1995.
