Not as confusing as numbering 2-disc sets of LPs 1/4 and 2/3 for
public
performance - where the playing order goes/went as follows:
Stack the albums with sides in this order from the top: 1/4, 3/2
Play Side 1, flip both discs together
Play Side 2, flip top disc only
Play Side 3, remove top disc
Play Side 4, remove disc, take bow, bring up house lights....

Yes totally stupid, those with 2 decks want disks 1/3 and 2/4 so the
change
can be seamless.


I'm not sure completely *seamless* was really ever the aim - more a case
of not having to try and handle two discs at the same time in a 'one
coming off and one going on' situation?

It's interesting that the much more common 1/2, 3/4 numbering system
doesn't allow a smooth changeover on a single deck, offers no advantage
over the above 'single deck' routine on two decks and doesn't even work
on an autochanger...??
