The single is our past

Approximately in the middle of the last century in the world there was such a new concept as a single. It was a song recorded on a record, and only she was there. Most often singles were songs of that time, thanks to such recordings on vinyl, many musical groups and performers became famous. A single is, as already mentioned above, one single composition that was recorded on one side of the record. The name comes from the English word "single", which means "one" or "one". Often on the territory of the USSR, similar records were called "long-playing" or mono-records. Willy-nilly, and the song, which was constantly played on a similar disc, was remembered for a long time by the listener and soon became his favorite composition. This played into the hands of the performer, making it more popular and in demand.

The most popular carriers in this area were records, whose diameter was 18 centimeters, they played a single. It was a disk that rotated at a speed of 45 revolutions per minute and reproduced the song very qualitatively. It should be noted that such records were popular both in Russia and in the US, in Japan, that is, throughout the world.

Gradually, along with the development of the music industry, vinyl discs also became more perfect. New singles, which began to appear in the 70's, became the so-called predecessors of albums of performers. As a rule, the only one on the record was that song, in honor of which the whole release was called or the most beautiful and memorable composition. However, this reception was not the last in the music industry. Shortly on vinyl discs called "single" began to leave collections of remixes for a single song. Their number varied from 2 to 10.

By the end of the twentieth century, CDs, widely used by many, have gained wide popularity. Initially, these records were intended only for listening, and the recorded single - it was all the same single composition or a series of remixes on it. True, now the track recorded on the disc could last unlimited 15 minutes, and have a length of up to an hour. When technology invented DVD-devices, single-player discs began to release clips and reality shows, which concerned a certain musical material.

But, despite all the technical progress and improvements, the best singles still remained on vinyl. These were songs for which more than one generation grew up, and those hits that are gaining their second popularity these days due to the development of retro style. It is worth noting that the records, on which only one composition is recorded, are released today, they have a very good quality. And in this case, a single is a song that could be written both in our years, and many years ago.
