Enormous DIG

I feel the same way about them. I'm glad to keep the ones in good condition, still hundreds of them ha.
Found a bunch of awesome samples I can play with for a long time.
I was a little skeptical at first but I mean its only 30 bucks for a lot of music.
I've learned a bunch of new artists to get 12"'s of.
I'm still going through um but after I keep the ones I keep and ditch the bad condition ones I think I'll be happy with the outcome.

Shop owner was very surprised someone wanted to take um so fast ( I can see why ha) But since then, he's been giving me buy one get ones off full lps and other deals here and there. He says next time hes getting rid of a bunch of Lps hes gonna give me a call.
Overall I say even though I don't care that much for 45s this was a great dig for me.

Like sampling them?
Hate them?
Why?
Your favorite one?

I purchased a load from eBay. But the quality on them were poor, I got a few gems. My track in the music section was done from a 7".

I wouldn't say I hate them though. As the above poster said, if the sound quality is good, they often sound warm.

The one thing that does my head in is the holes are always different sizes. Getting them on the deck can be a pain in the backside having to keep popping the center piece out.

I used to overlook 45s', now I regret it. 45s' are dope, because many of dope jams are only available on 45s'. Plus, I tend to find more good stuff, because many cats don't dig in 45s' (which is totally fine for me, more chance to get rare gems!) Many used record store don't carry 7 inches any more, which is sad.

For sampling, 45s' are actually great, they are usually louder then LP version, and drums are often more crispy than LP counter part. (Not always the case though.)
I got Pointer Sister's "Yes We Can Can" and "Get Off My Life, Woman" by Lee Dorsey on 45s', for instance. Both drum breaks slam hard! Ultimate Breaks & Beats' version of "Yes We Can Can" is so weak compared to the sound from the original 7 inch.
