7" 33 RPM records, each side having a track or two, totaling roughly the length of a 12"45 at the time: 6 to 9 minutes. Tone quality and dynamic range were somewhat reduced, and surface noise was more audible. Channel One studio & label marketed these as the "Economic Package"! And they were a bargain, because they were sold as regular 45s. So for a Jamaican dollar (about $1.25 US) a poor man could get as many as four tracks. I'm sure more than one customer was flummoxed when spun the 7" record at 45 rpm, then lowered the needle and heard the Chipmunks!
Shame what they did robbed the world of a beautiful voice and soul and fi wah?
Their music will continue their legacy
