Also the reason bass heavy tracks are always first on the album. Not enough room for those huge valleys towards the center; needle will skip a lot.

The needle wiggles side-to-side and might collide with the groove next to it if two bass hits are poorly timed. I suppose the likelihood becomes greater with the more compact inner area?

Also the high end sounds better the faster the vinyl is going so the outer tracks win there too. 45rmp records have more sparkle. The speed of the vinyl is like sample rate.
