Teens listening to singles at the record store, 1957 with help
from the store clerk, shown on the left.
Mindful of the limited disposable income of the 1950s teenager,
many record companies started to produce singles, small records
with a popular hit song recorded on one side, the A side, and a
lesser known song by the same artist on the B side.
Most 1950s record stores offered an area with turntables to allow
their customers to listen to a single before they purchased it.
