We're fans of music, especially vinyl, and celebrate our love affair with song, in the format originally intended for "artists who sell to the youngest purchasers of music (younger teenagers and pre-teens), who tend to have more limited financial resources." [wikipedia.com Article: "Single (music)"] THE 45 RPM VINYL record has been a staple for many years, with new music STILL being presented in the format as well as the continued popularity of single-play formats (like jukeboxes) around the world. Though singles and on-demand music machines are now mainly consumed in digital format, you can still find plenty of vinyl records lying around.
