The first one I came across was the Cocteau Twins' Victorialand in 1986.

Klaus Schulze's Innovative Communication label put out 45rpm LPs for a while in the early 80s, including Popol Vuh's Sei Still, Wisse Ich Bin. Don't recall if it sounded significantly better than it would have at 33 tbh.

it was big in japan in the late 70s/early 80s. for classical and jazz. wider grooves equaling louder/better sound. some sound amazing. that whole digital on vinyl pre-CD thing. some amazing 10-inch jazz reissues at 45 rpm. i mean anyone who has heard good disco 45 rpm 12-inches from the 70s knows how mindblowing they can sound. i love 70s rock 12-inches at 45. punk. post-punk. sex pistols on 12-inch rage pretty hard. but if i think of it i haven't had a ton of full albums from the 80s at 45. some though.

Cabaret Voltaire's "2x45" seems like an obvious example. 1982 I think?

style council's cost of loving + xtc's oranges and lemons are a couple more that come to mind...

some anti-fomo/rsd propaganda to proselytize future generations. this used to be a common sight: kickass <$10 reissues of forgotten catalogue titles. no fanfare, no sales pitch, just a good deal on a good album-https://i.ibb.co/C1XWY2G/20240426-114710.jpg

did the 45 rpm lp thing start with chris cutler's early eighties re records releases
Klaus Schulze maybe did it just before that with his Innovative Communication label's releases.

still reeling from this insanity - £35 for a two track 12"! and the original is still readily available in quid bins up and down the country...

think the shep one is the rarest version and it's not even all that good imo - i do like a lot of his stuff but this is a song that isn't really enhanced by all his stop-start fannydangle
