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

[Kristjan Saag]

I have Estonian and Latvian 10'' LP:s from 1975, a Portuguese 10'' LP 
from 1965, German Deutsche Grammophon 10'' albums from 1960...
Besides, it's still a pretty common format for dance music vinyl issues. 
Only the last eight weeks about 5 per cent of the new vinyl dance music 
titles announced by Juno Records in the UK were on 10'' vinyl (about a 
hundred different issuesfrom all over the world;Juno Records is an 
international mail service for dance music/ electronica).
