What about 7"45's anybody still listen to them?

I really like my old 45's,still have my 2 beatle 45's from 1964.I have a lot of 45's and a lot of them sound totally fantastic for 50 cents.I find I actually like the way they sound over some Lp's and almost all Cd's of the same thing.I never hear any talk about the lowly old 7" 45.My beatles I saw her standing there blows away the new cd.

I knew someone who was a DJ. They had tens of thousands of 45's stacked on poles in thier basement! Doubt they ever play one of them.
I never buy 45's except 12" 45s!

I have 20 picture sleeved 7" records displayed in various areas of my listening rooms. Semi-rare stuff from Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Kinks, Dave Clark 5, etc. Never play them.

The other 1,000 or so are packed and stored in the basement. Probably haven't seen the light of day in 35 years.

Can you say packrat?

I have a hundred or so but would never play one on my table for fear of the cart slipping and dragging on the felt mat. Whew! I just cringed..

Yes. I have 45 RPM only weekends (7 + 10 + LP). It's a blast...
