Remember when you could purchase "Singles" on cassette or CD

[maxamusa]

I still got mine too. Sometimes you'd get singles and they would have remixes on them and tracks that weren't on the album. For example, the bside to Fab Fives "leflaur lefhah.." was "blah". They even had a video for "blah", but it was never on any album. Then there was Goodie Mobb's "cell therapy" that had Outkast's "benz or beamer" as the b side. It had a video, but never on any album. The cd singles would sometimes have 4 or 5 remixes of a song that were never played on the radio.

Here in the late 80s and early 90s, cassette singles were $3.49 a piece or 3 for 9.99. Maxi-singles and EPs were $5.99 . CD singles were around 5.99 as well i don fully remember the cost for those

idk if I ever even heard that

Never forget when I bought “not a player” by big pun. (The song that he dropped before “still not a player”)

I had never heard of him or his music but just took a shot bc it was $3.99.

Changed my whole perspective on rap. And to this day I prefer that version to the smash hit that made him famous.

‘Scuse me for bein blunt
But I been eatin c*nt
Since pimps was pushin pink Caddys
With fish tank pumps”

That blew my 13 year old mind man!

Favorite single of all-time HAS to be Tribe's "Scenario" Maxi single with the remix and instrumentals. I played that tape until the sh*t popped.

I literally heard the music in my head reading this..... I listened to it that much back in the days.
