The 7″ record is 60 years old today!

Several have been manufactured since then. I have quite a few.

It is a wonderful format, bigger than a CD and rounder and blacker than a digital audio file.

Actually the very first one was not black, but green.

Thanks to Disgraceland for bringing this anniversary to my attention.
