wow...that's a LOT of CD singles. :o  Ya know, when cassette tapes were out as singles I used to buy those all the time, however, I never got into buying CD singles...mainly because they were always a lot more money than I thought they were worth...I would just end up spending a few bucks more and getting the whole CD.

Yeah, sometimes CD Singles can get as expensive as $7.99.  It's cheaper to pay the extra few bucks for the whole CD.  I only ever buy them when they are around $2.99 or less

The best singles to buy are the ones that are single only releases, such as "Do They Know It's Christmas"

I wonder why they are so darn expensive?  Have you found a lot of CD singles at Goodwill?

The ones that range from $5.99 and up are usually imports.  Generally, the regular ones are $3.99 and less, and even that's expensive.  They should sell for no more than 99c

I do find alot of CD singles at thrift shops.  The ones at Goodwill, they usually overprice with various prices, which are almost the cost of them brand new, so I usually scrape off the price and replace it with a cheaper price tag from another item ;D

hahahaah...that's so funny!! ;D  Ya, the people pricing them usually have no idea what they are doing...they probably think it is a full length CD or something. You'll show them, huh? ;D

I have the CD singles from Mariah Carey's "Music Box", "Daydream", "Butterfly", "Rainbow" albums and I have the "I Still Believe" single.  I have all of Kylie Minogue's "Fever" singles, and 2 of her singles from "Light Years" and various other ones that I can't remember.  The Kylie singles were all imports, obviously.

I switch around price tags all the time.  In the old days of goodwill, they sold casette tapes for 50c, until they hiked up the prices and started selling them at various prices.  One day, I peeled off a $1.50 sticker on a cassette tape, and the lady wasn't sure of the price, so she took it in the back, and when she came back, there were now 7 stickers all over the tape that said $3.50.  No way was I gonna pay that

they have really been raising their prices for things....some prices they ask are ridiculous!  They used to be SO cheap...now they want big bucks for donated goods. AND...they are doing away with their frequent shopper card....that is so lame. ::)

frequent shopper card?  They never had that here.  At Value Village, they have easter eggs come Easter, where after you buy 10 purchases of over $5 each, you get a discount of 20% on the 11th purchase

yes they had it here. Everytime you shopped and it reached at least $10 they would give you a stamp...once you filled up the card...you could bring it back on your next visit and receive 20% off of donated items. Well, then they changed it to only 20% off of donated clothes...now they are totally doing away with it alltogether. That makes me mad because I filled up a couple cards...now they are getting greedy (on donated things, mind you). >:(

"Cassingles" were the real loser.  They were marked from about 1988 to 1992 and then vanished.  I had some, but I can only remember two of them, I hesitate to mention:

Max Q: Way of the World (Max Q, a Michael Hutchence side project)
Real Life: God Tonight

:-[

The 3" CD never really took off.  It was supposed to be a counterpart to the 7" single.  They sold them with plastic adapters in case your player drawer didn't have a 3" accommodation.  Artists still release them for novelty's sake.  I have a few kicking around, including Front 242's "Ethics" single, "Drug Sherpa," by Muslimgauze, and a couple of 20-minute electroacoustic compositions by the Brazilian composer Jorge Antunes.
Other than for novelty/limited edition special, they're not economical.  Even if it's just a 1-track radio promo, it's cheapter to just burn the one track onto a regular-sized 5" CD.
::)

Max Q: Way of the World (Max Q, a Michael Hutchence side project)


Now there's a song I haven't heard in a long time.  I had that on cassingle as well

What? Not "O Fortuna"? ::)


Oh I have that one on vinyl 3 times over, dude.

Man, that's a hard one to get


I found it at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square in NYC almost 5 years ago.  I didn't know what it was when I purchased it; I strictly went off the record label (Jive Electro) which I do from time to time as when you find a track you like on a smaller record label you usually find others you like. 

I like "Sunshine".  I still spin it from time to time.  It's kinda like Daft Punk meets Trance/NRG.

"Sunshine" sure is a great track 8)

I usually do that with record labels also.  When Sash! came out in the late 90s, I loved his music so much, I now buy all singles I see from the Positiva Label, which has worked out well as I love Motorcycle and Moony

Don't forget Deep Dish!  :D

My favorite labels include Positiva, Robbins, Tommy Boy Silver, Strictly Rhythm, Jive Electro, Ultra, Moonshine, Nervous and *69.  8)

  Never bought many of these...

  Presently I have:

  "Back For Good" ~ Take That
  "Pride (In the Name of Love)" ~ U2
  "A Small Victory" ~ Faith No More
  "Love See No Colour" ~ The Farm
  "Big Yellow Taxi" ~ Counting Crows

  That's about it...

I agree with you there.  Popping a CD in for one song gets old fast.

Now there's a song I haven't heard in a long time.  I had that on cassingle as well

INXS was one of those bands that could make music I liked, but generally didn't.
("The One  Thing," "Don't Change," dynamite!  "Suicide Blonde," "I Need You Tonight," barf out!)

Hutchence was actually an interesting guy when he wasn't strutting his hot bod for the guys (the girls never caught on).  Hutchence was in the Australian film "Dogs in Space."  If you can ever hunt down the soundtrack, I'd snap it up!  It features a track by Ollie Olson, who would collaborate with Hutchence on Max Q a few years later.  Max Q was kinda cheesy, but it had a great sound, a bit ahead of its time!

Real Life, also Australian, is still a guilty pleasure.  The "Flame" album is horrendous...but I like it for some strange reason.  Then there was the song "Babies," which is a hoot...and the band didn't even write it!  "God Tonight" just had nothing going for it.  The band never really broke up.  They reissued "Send Me An Angel" for about the seventh time, and they were still trying to make a go of it with new material as recently as 2005!

We are we are we are bleedin' babies
on a playground battlefield!
Justify Justify, just to simplify...
The last supper's been served too soon, so,
I'm gonna need another meal!

I loaded up on CD Singles tonight.  The local "Sunrise" had a bin full of CD's that were 3 for 99c each.  Most of 'em I got are 90s eurodance ...

Travis - Sing
Cast - Magic Hour
Steps - After the Love Has Gone
France Joli - Save Me
Doop - Doop
Rozalla - This Time I Found Love
Touch and Go - Would You... ?
Pleasure Beat featuring J Cock - First Time
Jamiroquai - High Times
Anastacia - I'm Outta Love
Shannon - Give Me Tonight 2000 A.D.
Strike - My Love is For Real
Clueless - Don't Speak
D:Ream - Blame it On Me

Argh.  Two years after you post this, I have to read this thread after accidentally re-encountering their 1989 synthpop earworm Let's Fall In Love.  The ID3 tag has a comment suggesting the track was released in 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, and 1989.  Argh.

I think I've bought maybe one CD Maxi-Single since I posted here 2 years ago.  I didn't see Depeche Mode's "It's Called A Heart"/"Fly On The Windscreen" (Import) in my list. :D  I have the U.S. 12" single also which contains a remix of "Flexible".

I have tonnes of cd singles - too many to list. They were just the perfect format... you got the decent size sleeve that you'd get with a 7" vinyl with the longevity of a cd (as opposed to crappy cassingles). Plus you more often than not got more than 3 songs - whether they be b-sides or remixes. CD singles were just perfect for collecting stuff from your favourite artists. Damn those digital downloads!!!
