Tiny Vinyl 4 inch records

Miniatures have always been popular, now these have appeared, not pressed on 'vinyl' of course, the word has become a generic term for records.
Anyone come across one of these yet? Max playing time seems to be about 4 minutes at 33 1/3 . Impressively priced too starting at $15.00 and up from Target
U Music have licensed material for them. Curious to hear what they sound like..all comments welcome..thanks very much!

I've been seeing ads for these pop up for awhile now, they're cute. My question is, we already have 3" records as a sort of novelty purchase, why the jump to 4"? But it ALSO has me thinking, how much music could I fit onto a 4" record? Maybe it's time to jump in on the trend, LOL!

hi
I Make small records infact thats all I do hahaha

1/4 inch to 1 and 2 and 3inch ..lots of fun..

if you want to do this on VR you need lift ur turntable up and move it far right as close as u can get to the far right side close to the pillars/bar then you will have access to the middle area
don't scroll all the way left as it will come off the feed screw.

I've put 7mins on 4inch before
1min on a 1inch .
but it sounds too crazy maybe good for talking, so min time is best for quality and loudness on small records.
having said that I've put 58mins no label on a 12inch preside and again I could only do it with someone talking no music..

look at my photos too

We sell a lot of 5" but no one has gone for 4" yet, maybe that will change now! Just checked out these ads, big releases so clearly some big licensing going on

WOW, Megamike, the creativity on this forum never ceases to amaze me but you've got my jaw dropped with that TINY record, I can't believe my eyes! The fact that you can play it, too, is almost too much to handle.
