[78-L] Inquiry: Demise of the 10" Long Play

[Matthew Duncan]

In Britain there were still a few labels issuing both 10" and 12" LPs into the 60s ....e.g. Decca, Concert Hall etc.

Mainly classical but some popular items too.

There were 10" Stereo LPs of classical music being issued until at least 1962 or so and many earlier mono titles were still being pressed in the middle of the 60s (e.g. 50s Kathleen Ferrier LPs)

Regards
Matt

I'd say 1955. That's when Contemporary started recording new tracks as 
"fillers", for instance.

BC.
