Nigel Fountain on key moments in popular culture.
1: The March of the 45 The 45rpm record arrived with rock 'n' roll, teenagers, Dansettes and autochangers, in the golden age of the singles chart. Today, when record companies make more money from sales of T-shirts than singles, the 7-inch piece of plastic is being replaced by cassingles, CDs, 12-inch records, DCCDs, DATs and mini-CDs.... should we shed a tear for the 45 - and for the teenager?
