45s (7”)
45s feature one song on each side and were famously played in jukeboxes across America. 45s are 7” in diameter and were typically originally sold with a plain paper sleeve.
12” Singles
12″ singles are the same size as LPs, but have only one song on each side - often called an A-side and B-side. A-sides typically had one popular song from an album or single. The B-side was used for alternate songs from the album, remixes or live recordings. These were made for DJs and often came in plain or generic sleeves.
Unusual size, color or shape
Records aren’t always round, and they’re not always black. In fact, vinyl records have been printed in different sizes, shapes and even colors and pictures printed in them. If you have something unusual to share with us, don’t hesitate to bring it along!
