They still sell in abundance for DJs and mixers, but to general public? Not much call for, especially with cheaper CDs.

The only places you see them these days is in big megastores! Nothing like whipping out the old 12incher!

Over rated

The same song extended with clever use of technology never cut it for me
which explains why I have 400 7 inch singles but only 5 12 inch singles
but then I was enver into the dance scene

Give me the 7 inch Mini EP over the 12 inch anyday

cheers
