A balearic 10 inch no less (kinda odd format for the time I think?)

Paradis rework was on a 10”, love this slowed down.
Might also count as my first offering of a floaty banger? Too floaty and squiggly?
Not enough banging?
Good slice of modern day 10" dub by Mr Kenrick and friend’s
What was the origin of the format? Ive only ever really tied it in with JA styles.
damn near anyone who’s worked in a record store hates 10"s. they disappear or get chewed up in the racks, and they cause your stack to lean when you’re pricing.
i like them though, and this thread has shown there’s lots of good stuff on that format.
the one record every record store guy hates? this one:
i’ve been cuticle-cut by those damn things multiple times. i throw them away on sight.
Managed to pick one of these up from Jelly Records in the end, still had some left a couple of weeks back, if anybody’s after one. Only selling them in the shop though, not online.
John Morales on this mix of Barry White. It’s a good end of the nighter too.

I asked ChatGPT and got this, which looks plausibly accurate:
The 10-inch record format has its origins in the early 20th century, during the development of sound recording technology. Here’s a brief overview of its history:
Early Records (1890s-1920s): The first commercial records were made of hard rubber or shellac and were typically 7 inches in diameter. These records played at 78 RPM (revolutions per minute) and were primarily used for single songs.
Introduction of the 10-Inch Format (1920s): The 10-inch record became popular in the 1920s as a medium for longer recordings. It allowed for more music to be recorded on a single disc compared to the smaller 7-inch records. The 10-inch format typically played at 78 RPM and could hold about three to four minutes of audio per side.
Standardization: By the late 1920s, the 10-inch record was standardized by major record labels, becoming a common format for albums. These records often featured multiple tracks or selections from a larger work, such as classical music or jazz.
Transition to 33 1/3 RPM: In the late 1940s, the introduction of the 33 1/3 RPM long-playing (LP) record by Columbia Records changed the landscape of recorded music. The LP was typically 12 inches in diameter but also led to the decline of the 10-inch format as the industry shifted towards longer playing times and higher fidelity.
Niche Use: While the 10-inch record format became less common for mainstream music, it continued to be used in certain genres, such as jazz and classical music, and by independent labels. It also saw a resurgence in the 21st century among collectors and vinyl enthusiasts.
Overall, the 10-inch record played a significant role in the evolution of recorded music, bridging the gap between early single-track records and the longer LP format that would dominate the market for decades.

One of my biggest lockdown regrets is finding a 10" of Messages by OMD for a pound on a market stall, I left it because I wasn’t carrying any money.
