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.
