If the information is stored at some value of bits per cm... There's less bitrate (bits per revolution) in the middle of the record vs the outer edges.

I checked, audio quality can degrade at the center, I guess since the needle can't read fine enough details. Also probably why the label size is similar on full size records and singles...

    Yep its called IGD or inner groove distortion , reason why old albums almost always had the quiet ballads at the end.

    Rush 2112 has real bad igd because it ends very loudly.
