Talk:Cassette single

message: In the UK, cassingles seemed to be more common during the 1990s than the 1980s; I don't recall seeing any during the 1980s (not that I bought that many singles then, but I'd have thought they were pretty cool if I had seen them).
Perhaps this was because people had stopped widely using record decks by the 1990s; and it's notable that cassingles were much cheaper than CD equivalents (I bought several on the basis of price; £3.99 was quite average for a CD single after the first week of release, cassettes were typically £1.99 or £2.49).
At any rate, the "popular during the 1980s" comment isn't really accurate. Any thoughts?

message: I believe the Bow Wow Wow cassette that is being referred to is called "Your Cassette Pet". Even though it was produced in a cardboard sleeve similar to the cassette singles, it was actually more of an EP containing eight songs. 
I had always heard that The Go-Go's had the first cassette single with "Vacation" from 1982 as would this article suggest:

:Bow Wow Wow's cassette single "C30, C60, C90, Go" was from around 1980 IIRC, so pre-dates the Go-Gos by some time. The "C30, C60, C90, Go" cassette had a blank other side so that buyers could use that side to record their own B-side.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.68.219 (talk) 11:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The physical cassetes were 60, 40 minutes or less? --Alex:Dan 14:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cassingles were usually just long enough to record the A & B sides of the single on both sides of the cassette.  So, usually less than 10 minutes per side.  Sometimes more than two songs were put on a cassingle, though. --ozzmosis 18:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Length

message: "...cassette singles never eclipsed gramophone records to the same extent as cassette albums had done."  I dispute this. I would suggest that cassingles outsold vinyl 7" and 12" singles in the mid to late 1990s. Encise 03:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Sales vs vinyl records

message: The article states in the opening that The Go-Gos "Vacation" was the first cassette single and then goes on to say that the first in the UK was 1978. "Vacation" was 1982 - or is this all meant to be from a US perspective? If it is, I don't see why it should be.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 14:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
