iLounge points out that Apple has launched "Digital 45s" [iTunes Store] in the iTunes Store, a new concept offering a pair of songs from a single artist at a price slightly discounted from the individual track prices.
Harkening back to the days of the vinyl 45 rpm record, the iTunes Store has launched a new section of the store for "D45s." As with vinyl 45s, these new digital packs contain two songs, traditionally made up of a single and B-side.
Apple is currently offering about forty such D45s at $1.49 and $1.99 price points, with a heavy emphasis on 80s music in this initial batch of releases.
