Educate me, why are 2 disc albums so common?

I have some albums that manage to get themselves on 1 disc (2 sides) but it seems so many others with the same or less run time need 2 discs (4 sides)

For example Straight Outta Compton (NWA) is an hour long and fits on 2 sides whereas Pyschodrama (Dave) is 51 minutes long and uses 4 sides.

Can anyone explain why this is the case?

Furthermore, why do the discs with less on, Pyschodrama in this instance, not require being played in 45rpm?

My kid did this. Do I have to get a whole new cartridge or can I just replace the stylus?

When you decide to have kids, you never think, “someday, he’ll be screwing around in the basement and wreck a $1k needle.”

Craziest and maybe biggest collection of Classic Rock in Germany.

Hi, i wanted to share an absolute crazy catch. My old Vinyl dealer died some time ago and His brother is now trying to get through this stuff. In this house are about 100k Vinyl, Most of them in good condition and nearly no bullshit stuff. There are 3 more storages, so the whole collection will be about almost 500k vinyl. I dont know how to handle this situation. 🙈

Now some of us here have seen this video on youtube before, where this guy tried cleaning and the records with WD40 so that there's no more pops and crackles. And i know some of you are gonna tell me that it doesn't work or it will ruin your records. But has anyone out there actually tried this method? And does it really work with getting rid of the crackles and pops? I'm interested to know from all of you.
