Do you need to, or only if you care about fitting the longest possible recording on the disk?

How much shorter would an LP be if you used a fixed pitch?

Well, mindless self indulgence is very loud and aggresive, so an album that is a single CD is 2 vinyls.

I'd have to use my usb record player and rip some records and determine loudness vs length to get some baseline, though.

Then again, maybe most CD albums are two LPs, I only have a half dozen 2-LP albums, most older stuff is single LP.

Is that because albums have gotten longer, or louder? Both?
