Re: (313) 7" centre holes - straw poll

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

watch the Product Placement DVD by DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist - the entire
performance is done with 7" and smaller (there's one 5" pocket disc)
records
of course everything is funk & soul records - great DVD

ditto.  but whatever you want to put on 7", put it on a 10" or 12"
instead and pump up the sound.  7" are fun for novelty value, but Djing
with them is annoying, the get lost in your bag, usually lesser sound
if the tracks are longer (depending on who does the master/cutting,
etc.)

their only redeeming factor IMHO of the 7: is their innate 'cuteness',
such as the neon green Kraftwerk Dentaku 7"

How can you look at that and not say "Awwwwwwwww....."  Computerlove at
first sight.   ;P
