A cassette single (CS, also known by the trademark "Cassingle" or capitalized as the trademark "Cassette Single") is a music single in the form of a Compact Cassette. == History == Bow Wow Wow's "C30, C60, C90, Go!" was released on cassette in the U.K. in 1980, and I.R.S. Records released the Go-Go's "Vacation" in the U.S. in 1982. The ZTT label made good use of the format by 1984, with singles by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Art of Noise and Propaganda being issued in unique versions on cassette. American record companies began releasing cassette singles on a large scale in 1987, when vinyl record album sales were declining in favor of cassette recordings; the cassette single was meant to replace the 45 record in a similar way.〔 The format was used as a promotion in the 1990s, with Disney giving a "cassingle" to attendees of ''Hercules'' promotional events.〔http://books.google.ca/books?id=4Q4EAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA1-PA84&lpg=RA1-PA84&dq=hercules+mall+tour&source=bl&ots=5K5pEbC01N&sig=3W8cQoS6PSz6A-VAoy_BpLX_eZI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ovoDUdSZLunV2QXkuYEQ&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=hercules%20mall%20tour&f=false〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cassette single」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
