45RPM reissues: really better one-side pressing?

Hello friends,

a lot of Classic Records reissues, Jazz and classical, was made on double sides pressing (two LP's from an original LP) and a lot of other was made on one-side pressing version (four LP's, from 1 original title, with one side blanck).
The common opinion is the one-side press sounds better, due to minor stress of vinyl surface during the pressing step.
What's your opinion about? Audible diferences?
Rushton, are you on line?..:-))

The Mary Stallings Clarity recording was sold as one sided and two sided versions. I don't know that these two versions were widely released or available together, but some were made available locally in the SF Bay Area. Clarity wanted to show just how superior the single sided was over the two sided. I have bought both at the Audible Difference (Palo Alto, CA) years ago. The single sided was my first $50.00 LP, ouch! I listened to both today to compare if I could hear any differences. My listening conclusions exactly track Rual's, but I will emphasize (IMHO) the single sided was far more natural than the other. Music is very good, not remarkable, but Mary's voice is outstanding.

Thanks Raul for making think to find/listen to these recordings. Fun time.
