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

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...

One of my gems in my collection is a 7" passed down from my mother. It is a 1957 German pressing on RCA but by Telefunken/Decca of four Louis Armstrong tracks recorded in 1932, 33 and 47, Rockin' Chair, Bassin Stree Blues, St-James Infirmary and when its sleepy time down south.

My Mom passed down about 50 other 7" but they were in pretty bad condition mostly German dixieland Jazz such as the Chris Barber Jazz Band. They are fun to listen to, but in lousy shape. I wont be using my Benz to listen to these records.

If anyone ever makes it to Jerrys records in Pitts PA, he has tens if not hundreds of thousands of 45 rpm singles in his collection, stacked floor to ceiling in alphabeticaal order.
If anyone ever gets a jukebox or needs material for one or just enjoys singles from all areas of music you need to make a trip there..............its amazing.
