The only 10" I ever owned was by the Wedding Present (Corduroy, Smile, Crawl, Take Me - live). Got it in the Abbey Mall. Your man warned me it would probably skip - "they always do, 10 inches". He was right, it did, right in the middle of the 5 minute guitar solo of Take Me. Never bought another one.
Tapes sometimes did weird things like Side B playing Side A backwards. Satanic!

I used to own that 10" - got it in Borderline. Abysmal sound quality. Got the normal sized Ministry LP at a later stage.
In the 1990s some bright spark decided to reissue The Smiths back catalogue on 10". Admittedly some were double 10"s but still - it just didn't look right.
