7″-Singles und EP’s sind ein wunderbares Format – und traditionell besonders für Beat, Rock’n’Roll, Pop, Punk, Indiegeschrammel, Reggae und Soul geeignet.
Für viele real independent Labels und Bands stellen 7″-Veröffentlichungen zudem eine Investion dar, die sich durchaus stemmen und möglicherweise sogar refinanzieren lässt (wenn man geschickt falsch rechnet).
Die 12″-Schallplatte war niemals vollkommen weg vom Markt und die 7″-Single erst recht nicht. So war 2016 ein Jahr mit einem äußerst vielfältigen Angebot, analog dem Angebot im 12″-Bereich – sowohl im Reissuebereich als auch bei den Neuerscheinungen.
Das sind meine Top 30 7″-Singles aus dem Jahre 2016:
