12” were big in the 80s and 90s in JA afaik. Dubplates famously 10”.it's interesting that Jamaica with its obsession with bass would stick with the 7 inch format with its inferior bass response, but perhaps that is compensated for at the other end of the process by all the science of building speakers and designing woofers and so forth
one of the little jolts out of many in that Steve McQueen Lovers Rock film is seeing Mercury Sound at the blues with just the one turntable.
7 inches were a product of jukeboxes being very common in the 60s, hence the big holes in ‘em.
