On turntables, you can stack records one after the other.  Once the first record 
is played, the second one drops automatically.  Some double albums (like Tommy) 
put sides 1 & 4 together on disk one and 2 & 3 on disk two so you could play 
sides 1 & 2 one after the other.  Once they wer played, you could turn the disks 
over and play 3 & 4 in succession.
