I think the record folks intended them as CD singles and sold them as such for a while. Rhino put out a whole bunch of three inch CDs in the late eighties or maybe the early nineties, mini versions of some of their greatest hits comps with four hits on each one. I remember them for the Turtles, Classics IV, Raspberries. I'm sure they're around here somewhere. Sony and others also sold CD players back then with the three inch well in the middle of the CD tray to hold a 3" CD without the need of the adapter you'd have to slap them into which made them 5" across.
i think my CD's players all still have the well in the middle.
can't play them in the car though
