- marstechlabs 6y agoI love them for this also, they found a single copy of a rare German 45 for me.
- vanderZwan 6y ago> German 45 Can you explain what that refers to? Because if I search for that I obviously get WW2 related topics instead
- redwoolf 6y agoIt refers to a 45 rpm vinyl record album from Germany.
- chrstphrknwtn 6y agoA ‘45’ is a small vinyl record played at 45rpm instead of the more common 33rpm for the regular ‘long play’ or ‘LP’ vinyl record. A ‘45’ fits only a song each side, so usually for releasing singles. And ‘German’ means German.
- vanderZwan 6y agoHahaha, thanks for the laugh, and the explanation (you too redwoolf)
- jrumbut 6y agoJust for some anecdata, what is your age range? My family who grew up with vinyl records are obsessed with figuring out when knowledge of that technology will really start fading.
- vanderZwan 6y agoI'm 37, and my parents do own tons of vinyls. However, they're all albums and we never used any 45s, so I guess the whole 33/45 thing didn't really stick in my memory
- jrumbut 6y agoOh OK!
