There’s an interesting article in today’s Guardian about a group who are proposing a new music chart which would take account of internet downloads.
One throwaway line caught my attention. The author mentions that 7″ vinyl is a thing of the past. I hadn’t really thought about it before but that’s probably true. You don’t ever see 7″ singles in shops any more. I wonder when they were stopped.
And more interestingly, I wonder what was the last 7″ single I bought. I have about 500 singles, but they are in boxes in a cupboard and never get played. I can’t remember when I last bought one. It’s got to be over 10 years ago. I bet I didn’t realise it was going to be my last one as I bought it.
