kahdellalevyllä

Kahdellalevyllä is a Finnish term that translates literally to "on two plates" or "on two records." It most commonly refers to a music release format where an artist's work is presented across two separate vinyl records, often a double album or a compilation spanning two discs. This format allows for a greater volume of music than a single record and was particularly popular during certain eras of music production when longer recording sessions or extensive tracklists were more feasible or desirable.

In the context of music, kahdellalevyllä signifies a deliberate choice by artists or record labels to divide a musical project into two distinct vinyl units. This could be for artistic reasons, such as separating thematic sections of an album, or for practical reasons related to the groove length limitations of a single vinyl record. The term emphasizes the physical medium of the release, highlighting its presentation on two separate, playable surfaces. Beyond music, the phrase could occasionally be used in other contexts where something is presented or organized on two distinct physical plates or discs, though its primary association remains with audio recordings.
