Bull Moose Jackson ~ Big Ten Inch Record This tune is from 1954, originally on King Records. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Interesting. I had only heard the Aerosmith version from Toys In The Attic.
How long did ten inch records last anyway? I believe they were fairly short lived. Late '40s till the late '50s? | |

78's were phased out when the 45rpm (7 inch) came into being, but I don't know when they were stopped being produced. 78rpm records were really brittle and broke easily. My grandmother used to have a lot of them. I think 16rpm records were 10 inch also. 16rpm were mostly used for dialogue and spoken word recordings.
