Just for general culture and broadening of knowledge (I don't think they don't know what we're talking about), vinyl o Vinyl's Discs They are a format for the reproduction of sound based on an analog mechanical recording, the name comes from the material with which they were mostly manufactured and although for many it may seem a completely obsolete and unused format, it is curiously the favorite of the best discs jockeys. Is that why iTunes Are you offering them?
That's right, as you have read it, iTunes we got into the wave 'retro' and has invented a the service by which, just as they did in the old days and the singles from the albums were sold on 7-inch vinyl records at 45RPM, it is giving us the opportunity to go back in the years and feel as young as in those days, buying one of these digital discs 45.
It was in the 50s that the single was offered on one side of the record and a 'bonus track' on the other hand, which was generally a less popular song and was given as a supposed gift for the purchase of the first one, so what you are doing iTunes is to offer the digital versions within the shop including both songs when purchasing the album. According EMI Music, this initiative has to do with a tribute to commemorate the sixtieth birthday of these albums and will be a exclusive iTunes service for a limited time (only until July 27); For each album of two songs, the price to pay would range between $ 1.45 and $ 1.99.
