...so it must be true!

On the telly, earlier this evening, Paul Gambaccini was reported as having
said he thought the 7" vinyl single could outlive the CD!!

As I said here a long time ago - vinyl singles are on the up. Don't hold
me to these figures but I believe the recent UK sales have been along the
following lines:

2001 - £178,000 (approx)

2005 - over a £million!


Can any of us say: "Dance Club"?

Sure, say what you like (you usually do) - this is ukra, moderated only by
polite, British reserve and the omnipresent fear by some of getting their
scrota ripped off (figuratively speaking) if they get outta line...

But if you mean 'DJ' use, I don't think many of them use 7" singles these
days? (Ignore the £ signs btw - those figures probably relate to numbers
sold, not value thereof...)

If I remember correctly they showed 7" singles by Arctic Monkeys and Keane.
Hardly what you'd call dance music.

Well, I can say "DJ" if it helps... :-)

I noticed when comparing BPI and RIAA figures that the BPI ones
distinguished between 7" and 12" vinyl singles, but didn't mention 'EP.
Whereas the RIAA ones gave values for 'LP+EP' combined, and also for 'vinyl
singles' without distinguishing by disc diameter.

Is there a difference between the UK and USA in the form of non-LP vinyl
discs people use for applications like 'DJ' or 'Club' or whatever the local
term might be?

IIRC at one time the French were far keener on 7" EP than the UK.

Slainte,

Jim
