I spent far too much money on CDs (singles and albums) that I simply never listened to. I have boxes and boxes of them and don't know what to do with them!

Same here but I am quite proud of them even if I don't play them - they are a collection!

Haha, this is true. Well I did like to get a proper, crisp, highest quality rip of the song off of the CD back in the day - that was refreshing. But nowadays the quality of downloaded tracks is so much higher than it was. Still, I will buy the odd retro track on CD single if I can't find it to stream - the one CD single I've bought this year was Chef "Chocolate Salty Balls (PS I Love You)" :lol:

Where do you even get them from these days - just Amazon?

 

I mainly get vinyl and the odd vinyl single in charity shops!

Yeah Amazon, pre-owned. Really I should start putting all of my old CD singles on there. Wonder if I have any rare ones. Actually just remembered I picked up a couple of those Elvis re-issues back in 2005, wonder what they're worth now, or even where they are in my collection :o

I got the George Michael one of December Song with an envelope which could be a collectible in 2009 I think it was?

Would they sell in sufficient quantities to make it a worthwile exercise? There's a generation of music consumers growing up who have not got into the habit of buying physical product. Plus at £1 a time a CD single would be such a loss leader that unless that could help drive album sales (not streams) by changing consumption habits of teenagers in general record companies would not likely be interested.

 

Oh yes I agree it would be daft to do it, but it'd be fascinating to see whether people would buy them

Think there's less in HMV and the likes now too which effects sales!
