Much like the MP3, the 45 rpm vinyl record changed music and culture. A low cost production format when introduced by RCA in 1949, the 45 rpm was a two sided 7in vinyl record disc. Each 45 rpm record typically contained one song per side, and the sides were labeled the A-side and the B-side. The A-side possessed the song which the artist and label hoped would become a hit.

The low production cost of 45 rpm vinyl records allowed an entrepreneurial boom in music which defined popular culture in the second half of the 20th century. The format allowed many artists to begin their careers by self-pressing a 45 rpm record. Among the legendary artists who began their careers with a self-pressed 45 rpm record are The Jackson 5 and Willie Nelson. Berry Gordy founded Motown records using the 45 rpm format.

Vinyl records have captured the heart of music lovers through four generations, with Record Store Day in April taking on a holiday like atmosphere.
