I searched for many originals vinyls LP. Some Lp are hard to find. I've missed Little John - English woman on ebay: i want to ask about 12", or 7". Is it possible to find English woman on single or Maxi?

I think all songs have been released in single or maxi, but I know it's difficult to find. And disks condition's often bad.

I love LP format, really, but it could be interesting to find original in other size. What do you think about that?

Blessings.

Well size does matter, at least according to the wife

Personally, being a bloke, i like to think it doesn`t.

So i`ll take it in any size it comes (music that is)

True 12" Disco's not only play louder (due to the wider grooves in the pressing) but they also tend to have different/alternate mixdowns, extended dub versions, and instrumentals (usually not found on the LP version of the same song). This is why I stick to the 12" format more than any other....but I too will take it in any format I can get my hands on, in most cases...I just love the music! For more detailed analysis and debate on this subject, search the forum by this topic and you will find a lot more insight into this very same query.

Trouble with your arguement is 7's usually have a different mix as well. Keep trying.

Another thing I find is that people try and find an arguement based on given parameters - "i don't collect original vinyls and only collect MP3's (because I live in Northern Russia), "I don't play basketball (because i'm 4'9" and slow a foot)"...often how you start something is how you finish (bald baby in fetus position to bald old man who has a bad back and is stubborn as a baby).

addicted to 7's from the from the get go. taught chess at 4 and was Eastern seaboard under-18 champ for a minute. tall and play volleyball/basketball. No job for me insulating attics.
