The 45 RPM record was the popular portable format long before cassette tapes, CDs or MP3s. The little record with the big Round hole was cheap, collectible, and they fly like a frisbee if your sister is mad enough. Breaking records has another meaning altogether. For 40-some years it delivered hits for stars of all stripes. Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is the all time best seller at 50 million copies. This hunka burnin' vinyl was Elvis's 40th and last Top Ten hit in 1972.
