Japan
Japanese (8 cm) 3" CD singles were called 3" CD snap-packs, as they could be 'snapped' and folded into a small square rather than being the original 6×3-inch (15×8 cm) length type of packaging when sold.
Most cost about ¥1000 (about £5 or $10) at the time of releasing them during the late 1980s to early 1990s, so many of the artists who released on 3" CDs, are from that era, including Madonna, Cher, Michael Jackson, U2, Prince, Bros, Dead or Alive, Huey Lewis and the News, Kylie Minogue and George Michael.

Famous quotes containing the word japan:
“I do not know that the United States can save civilization but at least by our example we can make people think and give them the opportunity of saving themselves. The trouble is that the people of Germany, Italy and Japan are not given the privilege of thinking.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
