As for 3"s, I love those!
I have many older ones & a few of those newer German ones.

Thanks Amp!!
I always loved Wishing Well.

Never understood why the 3" didn't make it as a follow-up of the 7" single.
This would have saved a lot of material and space in the record stores and on my shelf. [:)]

Maybe it was, because the first cd players didn't have the right trays. Do you remember the adapters you had to put the 3"es in? That never worked without leaving fingerprints on them...

I think my first 3" was Toto - Pamela - with (!) adapter. [;)]
