The cone adapter works best in that case...

most 45's made in the USA have small spindle holes.
the large spindle holes are for the jukeboxes man!!!!!

sometimes there is no space for a lead in track. pavement's rattled By The Rush single is like that. sometimes the needle just pops out of there

It is a pain having to deal w/ those adaptors. I have a record clamp, so it's doule the process for me. I have to lay the 7" in the adaptor, remove the adaptor, then clamp w/ a Rek-O-Kut disc clamp.

Or how about lead out tracks that have continuos loops. I know Double Nickles On The Dime had them.

Hey, yeah, you're right. I think it's era-related, too, though. The older 45s, like my Sub Pop, have the big holes. But anything after around 95 is the small spindle.

I use these bad boys. when I rock 6 at a time.

all my PJ Harvey 7" singles (which is ALL OF THEM! my Pj harvey collection rules on vinyl) have cum all over them


ha ha ha! no they don;t, but it's right here in my hand there it is!!!!!

[Everyneurotic]

you guys bitch a lot.

i have missed once putting the needle on a record, and i was like 11 years old then. it's not so difficult if you have eyes and an average steady pulse.

the large holes on the 7"s, i have a big block adapter that i used on my mom's old turntable and the one i have now, which is a regal piece of shit, has a rising block for the big hole singles. i don't think it's hard to get the little plastic disc adapters on the internet.

and i have big hole 7"s, made in 2000-something no less. people try not to manufacture them anymore but they are still around.

I have one of these as well, but for easy removable purposes (reason Y stated above) I use this...

 

It's obviously underneath the level.

british singles zstill are made mostly with the large hole, for jukeboxes. I want a 7" jukebox so bad so I can put all my singles on it and rock out and earn money with my friend's quarters

ohhh, that sounds so awesome!!!

i might have like 30 7"s, wouldn't justify the expenses of buying a jukebox though.

somehow, without me noticing, my 7" single collection has expanded to three 16 inch long boxes.

[Disgruntled Youth]

I just got a case to fit my newly aquired 45's. Tupper ware does the trick for now...

[This Is Not Here]

Gotta love those 33 inch records...

Huh? I always thought that was the other way around - that jukebox-hole 7s were generally American.
I'd say that at least 90% of my UK-pressed 7s have a small centre hole, though older (60s/early 70s) UK 45s typically have a push-out centre.

[Disgruntled Youth]

Yeah Greensleeve's out of London does small hole I dig that a hole lot more. Fuck I'm still high of the fact that I did my radio show today with one working turntable...

[Toilet & Bowels]

i like 7"s, it's a shame they're so expensive nowadays though
