Liza Minelli - Results

Yep, I remember flexidiscs... 3" CD singles were pretty common in the early days of CD singles (the late 80s) - I've several, including "Stone Cold Sober" by Del Amitri (no 90 hit in 1990!), "I Can't Wait" by Danny Wilson (no 92 hit in 1989!) and "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (slightly bigger but still minor hit in 1989), but really I suppose the decision to standardise on 5" CD singles had more or less been taken by most record companies by about 1990 (indeed, the much better known follow up to "Stone Cold Sober", "Nothing Ever Happens" was on a 5" CD single) - so it's kind of amazing that Garbage were using them years later. I wonder what the last record to chart with a 10" vinyl single was? They were were a kind of popular gimmick (not as good as a picture disc, for sure). I think the most recent one I have is "Only One Word" by Propaganda (1990, no 71 hit), but I think I had some from a couple of years later by the Fat Lady Sings that didn't chart at all. And then there were etched disks, with a picture carved into one side of the vinyl, and all the tracks on the other side. I think I had one of those (12") for Del Amitri's "Move Away Jimmy Blue"...
