What 12" singles do you have?
« on: 10 Jun 2007, 12:38 pm »
Through the years, I have aquired a few 12" LP singles. Some are 45 RPM the others are the standard 33 1/3. The sound from these singles is incredible.

Here are some of mine:

Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
Simple Minds - Don't You (forget about me).
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
Billy Idol - Don't Need A Gun
XTC - The Mayor Of Simpleton
Thomson Twins - Hold Me Now

Don't think I have any 12" singles....maybe one or two 10' singles about, tho.

Makes sense that they sound good/great.  Groove walls wider - lots more info can be packed on a disc that normally can hold 22 minutes when it condensed down to 4 or 5. Just a real pain flipping them every 5 minutes for sake of sonic purity, eh?  :roll:

I think most of these records were bound for radio stations as promo type music for assumed hits featured on the full version albums. I really hadn't seen many albums like this until a few years ago. I do wonder how common they are. Of course, the probable only source is at a local used vinyl store.

The only 12" 'singles' I have are electronica...the mixes are simply too long to fit on smaller discs.
