Maxisingle Vinyl 7'' music catalogue

168 items

A maxi single vinyl (7") is an intermediate form between the "normal" single vinyl and the EP. The record had 1 (usually longer) track on 1 side and 2 tracks on the other side. It played at 45 rpm.
For the price of 1 single they got a record with 3 songs. Besides the price, the maxi single vinyl (7") also had the paper cover in common with the "normal" single.
Given the longer playing time, the maxi single looks a lot like an EP, but apparently there were economic reasons to market the maxi single as a variant of the single.

NB!

-In the second half of the 1970s (increasing popularity of the disco) the term 'max single' is mainly used for 12" dance records in all kinds of variants, both 45 rpm and 33 1/3 rpm.
