For instance Marillion's big hit kayliegh had a 7", a 7" picture disc, a 12" and a 12" picture disc. The pic discs were no different to the standard black vinyl equivalent. And the 12" not only had an alternate mix if the A side but also an alternate mix of the B side! I wasn't alive when this was out so I can't say about prices but I assume that 7" was cheapest and 12" was more expensive as more material was needed and pic disc even more? (Correct me if I'm wrong!) so why would you buy all of them at great expense when originally issued just because they looked different !?
