Are you sure about that? I thought the answer would be Michael Jackson's Thriller album.

It was near the end of the vinyl era - but I have it on vinyl so I know that's what it came out on.

Welsby,

You're welcome.

Minuet,

I must have missed the question. To whom are you responding?

I see. It may be Thriller. If it isn't that, then it may be an ABBA or Beatles album. I know McCartney had the largest-selling single of all-time (breaking the record held by She Loves You) with his Mull of Kintyre (sp.?). But I think that that has since been eclipsed.

It was an infommercial for a collection of 80s CDs, and the guy said New Orders' Blue Monday was the biggest selling 12" of all time, but he was talking about a single.


If a 12" is an LP why would anyone call it a 12" and not an LP?

Are we sure a 12" is an LP, I have no idea.

Then again, just cos it was on an infomercial doesnt mean its right

Well I googled and got this:

The 12 inch EP may have been the definitive statement of intent for the early nineties shoegazing bands but, as the excellent new compilation 12/80s, out this week, proves, it was on an extended version of the lead track where many a 1980s combo truly found their feet.

This was the decade, after all, that spawned a 12 inch so utterly impeccable that there wasn’t actually a seven inch version. But if New Order's Blue Monday – the biggest-selling 12 inch single of all time, yet curiously absent from the compilation – set the standard, the album contains plenty of other gems.

That says a 12" was an EP

Ok - I'll give you on an EP

They played at 45RPM, not 33 and usually had 2 or 3 songs per side as compared to around 6 songs per side for a 33RPM.

I own some Beatles EPs. They have four songs on them--two on each side, with a solid, thicker groove separating the two songs. They are slightly smaller (more like 10"). Just an FYI. :)
