Underground hardcore punk bands in the 1990s started releasing EPs on all sizes of vinyl including 5 inches in size.Due to space restrictions of the grooves, both songs were mixed as monaural. In 1980, the British band Squeeze released a 5-inch 33 1⁄ 3 RPM vinyl recording of "If I Didn't Love You", backed with "Another Nail In My Heart" (A&M Records AM-1616 / SP-4802).

Although dubbed a 5-inch record, to be usable in most compact disc players, the record can be no bigger than 120 mm or about 4.7". Techno artist Jeff Mills released the single for "The Occurrence" on a disc that is a gramophone record on one side, and a compact disc on the other. Disks in this format continue to be manufactured, particularly in association with Record Store Day during which 3" singles are made available exclusively through participating stores. They experienced a resurgence in the United States because of the interest of Jack White who released White Stripes singles in this format.

Also known as "8ban," (for "8cm Bandai") these were developed in Japan by record pressing company Toyokasei and released in "blind-bag" format by toy company Bandai in 2004.

This song is in response to the Cook County Sweetened Beverage Tax where some stores were taxing the drink LaCroix by accident.

Hardcore punk band 2Minute Minor released a 20-second song called Soda Tax on a single-sided 2" lathe cut record, limited to 50 copies.

It was pressed on green vinyl and limited to 300 copies, each wrapped in a 24-page cover.

Peabrain zine released a 2" compilation - the ADHD EP - which includes 6 bands from Southampton and Portsmouth (The Shorts, Joythief, Shooting Fish, Black Anchor, Chemical Threat, and Baby Jugglers) who recorded a 10-second song each.

Oddly shaped discs were also produced (see Unusually shaped discs below). Numerous unusual diameters have been produced since the early 1900s ranging from 2 to 19.7 inches. In other areas, flexi discs were usually square and often included in a magazine (see Unusual materials and uses below). The 7-inch size was also used for flexi discs which were popular in Japan where they were known as sound-sheets and were often in traditional round format. Ten-inch children's records were made as well, but the 7-inch size was more compatible with small hands. In the late 1940s, small plastic records, including some small picture discs, replaced them.

7-inch children's records were sold before World War II but nearly all were made of fragile shellac, not an ideal material for use by children.

In Europe, early 10-inch and 12-inch shellac records were produced in the first three decades of the twentieth century. By 1910, other sizes were retired and nearly all discs were either 10-inch or 12-inch, although both sizes were normally a bit smaller than their official diameter. Early American shellac records were all 7-inch until 1901, when 10-inch records were introduced. The most common diameter sizes for gramophone records are 12-inch, 10-inch, and 7-inch.
