I never play the ballad half of Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff." Thus, three sides of primo Donna remain.

ryko's "audiophile" reissued Bowie's catalog in the early '90s came on three-sided colour vinyl: Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Man Who Sold The World. The third side contained the bonus tracks that appeared on the CDs.

The vinyl of Air Miami's album is (I think) three 45 rpm sides.

Vox Pop, *The Band, the Myth, the Volume* (Goldar 12-inch EP, 1982). "C side", I wrote once, "lands you inside an eternal closed groove."

I wish more labels would consider doing these instead of spreading 52 minutes of music across four sides.

I think it's more a mastering/sound quality concern than any label's conscious artistic decision but i could be wrong.

yeah but there isn't going to be any noticeable difference in sound quality between a side of music lasting 13 mins and one lasting 17 mins.

a couple of examples I can think of:

Coil, Musick to Play in the Dark vol. 2 – has a v. nice etching on side 4
Death in June, Something is Coming

also I'm pretty sure I have a Nurse With Wound LP like this w/etching on side 4 but I can't remember which one

The Stooges : "The Weirdness"

Side three was some extra tracks, including their "I wanna be your man"
