the 7 inch vs the 12 inch...


Recommended Posts

what happened to the 7 inch?  it used to be the norm, bands often only released 7 inchers until the beatles made the full length 12 inch more popular.  i was thinking would it be better if 7 inchers were more popular?  on the plus side it is an epic hit single song and a 7 inch could easily be handled with 1 hand while you always need 2 hands for a 12 incher.  on the down side its only 1 song and often needs to be changed on the turntable but on the plus side how often do you really enjoy a entire 12 inch and want to skip tracks any way?  on the plus side it would cost less but on the down side still be pricey for 1 song.  so this has toggles in my mind lately and was wondering how other collectors felt about this.  would any collectors prefer just buying their fav songs on 7 inchers rather then a whole album just to listen to 1 song?  i think i would have a much larger collection, maybe in the 100s if i could buy my fav songs on 7 inchers at a fair price rather than a 12 incher for songs i do not care to hear.  your thoughts, comments, concerns, etc?
