Probably came from a juke box that used single sided records, or was a promotional copy of some sort.They had some real old stuff and one of the records only had grooves on one side. The other side was smooth. I had never seen that before that I can recall.

maybe not dead but definately on its deathbed and dying.Every film photographer also owns a digital camera and sooner or laterappreciated the benefits of post processing.Yes, I be;ieve film photography is done and that's OK because the old must make room for the new in nature as well as in technology.Short answer: Nope.
There are many film-options:
Kodak
Fuji
Foma
Rollei
Adox
Lucky (I think)
Ferrania
Kentmere
and off course Ilford
(I probably forgot some).
You can still get black and white, color (c-41) and transparency film (E6). You can still get chemicals (loads, depending on your need), equipment, both for taking photos, developing and enlarging your shots to paper.
Analog can, in some circles relate to vinyl, manly in the hipster and lomo communities, then again, many of them seem to shoot for scanning only, which loose half of the process.
There are many many more people that never stopped shooting film than there are hipsters and lomographers.
Film isn't dead, no, but it is becoming a niche, why? Compared to the olden days, before digital (millions of shooters), the film-community is small (I'd say several thousands now days, if I am going to guess).
I just realized it for myself. Bla bla blaa...

Not specifically film, but walk into any art gallery and have a look any color photograph and the printed medium - digital type c.
b/w is printed this way too.

Oh bless ya. 1980's called, they don't wan't ya.
Yeh it can be, but any B&W I see in a gallery these days is "optically hand-printed silver gelatin" I guess it's part of the art-making process funnily enough.
mine are a mix of both, and i can't tell the difference between them
besides, i like giving the lab down the street some work to keep her going !
( she prints bigger than 16x20 and is affordable too )
IIRC, I think the only B&W wet prints in the MCA Australia's permanent collection is Ricky Maynards 'Returning to Places that Name Us' portraits, stunning work but a shocker really!

not silly at all;he is spot on right.What a disturbingly silly comment.
I shoot film because it provides superior results to what is achievable with digital.
Pride is not something that comes to mind at all.
All digital cameras are looking like hard soap or like secondary to film cameras.
Look at this Fuji X, it is Leica knock-off in terms exterior. Olympus was next, first to make tiny camera with tiny and crappy sensor to look like 35mm SLR, but IQ next to garbage. Then Nikon, then Leica act of mimicry to copy SLR with nothing but empty fetish due to EVF and Olympus now with secondary copy of Fuji X with their same small and crappy sensors. They can't design anything original and sexy on digital side. Nothing, zero.

On the endangered species list are:
Optical C type prints
Colour transparencies
Black and white optical prints
Hybrid digitally scanned film for screen viewing is relatively healthy. The biggest boost for film would be a reasonably priced domestic scanner of drum scan quality.

Me neither. And absolutely no desire to go back to that junk.
I designed enough remote sensors for spacecraft and used them in flight operations including interplanetary to know that I prefer film except for spacecraft work.
I have never owned a digital camera and have no desire of owning one, a lot of what I see seem to me to be overpriced toys,Umm... I don't own a digital camera
