Well, singles are still quite popular these days, way more so than entire albums.
I download .mp3s these days for less than I used to pay for a 45 as a kid. Of course, you got two songs on a 45 but usually only one you really wanted.
CDs and lp are still around and no physical medium for singles really these days, so why not the old 45 format?
I might be tempted to buy a 45 rather than a download, if the price is reasonable. I would likely record it to digital and play it on my music server along with the rest, but at least maybe have a nice physical package to go along with it for display, to archive away for future use, or whatever.
SO not an outright horrible idea in my mind. We'll see.
