Rock band Fightstar is releasing its next single on a disc that is vinyl
on one side and a CD on the other. Its record company Gut admits the
vinyl-disc is a gimmick but hopes it will capture fans' imagination.
"It can only work as a gimmick because we don't actually know how many
fans have record players," says Gut's chairman, Guy Holmes.
The band of former Busted frontman Charlie Simpson will release Deathcar
next month. The vinyl-disc version will be a limited edition, probably
of 3,000 copies, and is likely to sell for £2.99.
The two-in-one disc, which can hold around three minutes of music on the
vinyl side and 70 minutes on the CD side, was created by Germany's
Optimal Media Production.
