Perhaps that is no "real" reason! Perhaps someone woke up and said, "man,
I love 7"s, even though they are quirky as hell. I'm gonna make a grip of
them." Or. maybe it's for playing doubles, to have a bit of a different
mix. It's cheaper than buying 2 x 12"s.
Whoever said they wonder about the business model for the 7"s might just
be thinking too much. I doubt it gets that deep, really. It's just a
bunch of wonderful grassroots-style artists doing whatever they want... I
prefer it like that!
Myself, I have about 5-6 of them. Some I couldn't live without, some get
lost and never found. THe Los Hermanos 7" with Resurrection on it, is
briliant!
Dense.

Is it just me or is anyone else finding thse quirky little 7 "s quite
annoying.. especially if afterwards they release a 12 with a different track
on...
they get lost in my record bag, lost on my records shelves and don't sound as
good, not as long and generally just feel a bit tacky.
Why are they doing this, i know its cheaper, but i they then produce a 12
aswell, it all seems a bit pointless
