The UK 45-rpm 7" single - a classic format if ever there was one. Since its creation in the early 1950's it has lent itself to all manner of musical tastes and styles. Far more durable than the 78-rpm shellac discs it replaced, and with greatly enhanced sound quality, it has become an iconic format of popular music culture. Each decade has seen an evolution in the way the humble black plastic 7" disc has been used; from the 50's and 60's issues with their jukebox/multi-stack friendly push-out centres, to the 70's solid-centre creations and the gradual introduction in the UK of eye-catching picture covers, to the 80's excess of coloured vinyls and limited edition packaging in all its glory. Their gradual slide in popularity during the late 90's has now taken an upward turn in the 2000's, with hip Indie artists choosing to return to this classic format and many labels again issuing exclusive limited editions aimed specifically at collectors. By definition all but the very latest releases are long out-of-print, and new releases are often only available for a very limited period of time. As the longest lasting single format the 7" still has its ardent followers. Singles are dead. Long live the 7" single!
