I used to work at a radio station, and when record companies sent us their new singles, some of them would send 7" records (the size of a commercial 45) that would play at 33 1/3 RPM, and others would send 7" records that would play at 45 RPM but had a thin-style (normal for 33 1/3) spindle hole. I guess they wanted to prevent us from putting the extra copies into a juke box, which would be unable to cope with the abnormal speed/spindle size combination. Jim McParland ABI - Holmdel hou5e!jjm
