Remember Disco?
It was my ‘coming of
age’ music. It played an important part in my teen years.
And it also played a major part in enlivening the record scene and giving it a huge boost at the time.
And a major part of that was the development of the 12”single. My first was T Connection’s classic ‘Do What You Wanna Do’ which I bought in the spring of 1997.
It started a love of 12” singles and responsible for me spending so much money on music for the next few years.
The other day, I came across this short video that explained how the 12” made pop songs longer. I thought you might enjoy this.

Looking forward to next time
ReplyDeleteI used to love 12" singles rarely bought 7" once I discovered the 12" I mean, why buy a 7" and get two songs, when you could pay a few bob more, and get an extra song or two, plus often an extended mix or remix ?!! I sill have some 12" picture discs too 😊
