Only so much music can fit on one side of an LP. A recording I have of Beethoven's third symphony makes this clear. It's the only LP I have in which one movement of a symphony is divided over two sides. The second movement begins on side one and concludes on side two. Interestingly, the record label and liner notes don't provide the timings for each movement.
That's understandable. Why call attention to your record's lopsidedness due to technical limitations?
