You can pack the grooves on an album and make a 2 lp set one but the audio quality is better if there is a bit of space between the grooves. In some cases they might be trying to rip you off but if a 2 LP album is on heavier vinyl you can count on the fact the decision not to cram every thing on two platters was to preserve sound quality. A friend of my step father who was a audio obsessed electrical engineer used to get upset over people cramming too much music on one LP. "All they care about is selling as many records as possible, wish they cared more about sound quality." Personally I'd rather save money and get a one LP record, it's the performance that matters to me not perfect quality audio.
