The arrival of the UK CD single, almost overnight, created a whole new area of instant collector’s items. Whilst CD players are now as affordable as a pair of jeans, back in the mid- to late-80’s they were expensive ‘new technology’. Initially the CD single contained the same tracks or versions as the dominant 12" single format of the day, but it wasn’t long before the marketing men began to include exclusive content. Today there are still thousands of CD singles, particularly from the 1980’s and early 1990’s which have versions or remixes that have never been reissued on a digital format - yes, there’s still a lifetime of music that you can’t get as a legal download, and lots of it is available on CD singles! For those who remember the tactile pleasures associated with buying and listening to music, the CD single was both an evolutionary and revolutionary step in the life of the single format. Aside from the music, the packaging developed from clear jewel cases, to card wallets - sometimes gatefold, then digipaks and eco-paks, to all manner of exotic injection-moulded plastic novelties. Sometimes it seemed that the only limit was your imagination! In fact you could argue that they were the last true music format that could be called ‘collectable’.

Now approaching their 20th year all but the very latest releases are deleted and long out-of-print. However, their success as a format means that there’s still a huge amount of recorded music available for your enjoyment. Their convenient size makes for efficient storage and the digital format ensures that a Mint condition CD single will sound as good today as it did when first manufactured.
