Amy Grant - "Baby Baby"

Todd Ireland wrote: After all, vinyl 45s were the only commercial single format made available on the mass market from 1955 until around mid-1987.

FWIW, from 1949-1950 and then again from around 1959 to
1964 there were 7-inch 33-1/3 RPM singles as well, which
even RCA Victor (inventor of the 45) got on board with,
but they were a flop with consumers, so most of them went
into jukeboxes (Seeburg was a big proponent of the
format).

And as for cassette singles, they were introduced by
I.R.S. Records (who trademarked the term "Cassingle") in
1982, beginning with a 25,000-copy test market release of
the Go-Go's "Vacation" in Atlanta. But you're right that
cassingles didn't really take off until the late 1980s,
when 45 sales were rapidly declining.

Back to the topic -- the LP version of "Baby Baby" is
what I always heard on the radio, not any of the remixes.

BTW, Todd it's great to see you actively participating in
our little community again with excellent, detailed
information!

In L.A., I mainly heard a more urban-ish mix of "Baby Baby" on CHR radio. I didn't like it and always preferred the LP mix. Same with "Good For Me". However, for "Every Heartbeat" I preferred the single mix. And for "That's What Love Is For", IIRC the single and album versions were the same except for a guitar playing the solo (unless that was just in the video!)
