More nostalgia

Not sure what you mean by 78s? I think they are 10 inch if that's what you mean?

Almost certain they would be 78's Joey.

10" were 78s quit making them around 1960

12" were 33 1/3

7" were 45s

I have been listening to nothing but zoomer radio AM 740. Great old nostalgic programming.

[Joey]

Okay, then they are 10's

My truck radio is tuned to Sirius 50's rock and very seldom ever comes off it.

I can just imagine all the young guys on this board wondering what the heck records are

 

Actually, vinyl records are making a comeback. They will still be around long after kids have no idea what a CD is.

 

 

10" were 78s quit making them around 1960

12" were 33 1/3

7" were 45s

 

And the 78s could only hold about three and half minutes per side. So if a musician wanted to release a group of songs he would release an album containing several discs.

 

The 12 inch 33 1/3 aka LP (long play) could hold all of the songs that previously required an album on to one disc. These were still referred to as albums even though they fit on a single record; or, a single CD.

I had quite the album collection before we downsized. Over a thousand LP's primarily from the 60's and 70's. When we moved to the apartment, there was no room for all of that.

[Joey]

We still have a milk crate of old albums (78's I assume), the big ones. David Bowie etc. the old stuff. And in fact a turntable if you can believe it

[Terry]

David Bowie should be 33 1/3

[Joey]

Well, see know nothing about size, I just know it works

[limeyangler]

This one is a classic…….

Hey Simon, around 1972, a rather obscure group, the RSDG, had a major hit on both sides of the pond. Not so uncommon in the British Isles but it caught everybody off guard on this side of the ocean.

 

The album was "Farewell To The Greys"
