7 inch vinyl records, often referred to as 45s due to their typical playback speed of 45 RPM, are a cornerstone of music history and a beloved format among collectors. These compact records were first introduced in the late 1940s by RCA Victor as a smaller alternative to the 12 inch vinyl LPs, offering a more portable and accessible way to enjoy music. Their size made them perfect for singles, with one song on each side, and they quickly became a popular medium for releasing hit songs and promoting new artists. The 7 inch vinyl records played a crucial role in the music industry, especially during the 1950s and 1960s, when rock and roll was on the rise. Iconic artists like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones released many of their hits on 7 inch vinyl, solidifying the format's place in music history. Today, these records are cherished for their nostalgic value and the unique sound quality they offer, which is often described as warmer and more authentic than digital formats. Our collection features a wide range of genres and artists, from classic rock and pop to punk, soul, and indie. We pride ourselves on offering both new releases and vintage finds, providing our customers with an unparalleled selection.
