I'm about to add a 33 rpm record with two songs 14 to 15 minutes long, on each side, according to the guidelines an lp Should have more than 4 songs. I need to hear your opinion, thanks!

With each side lasting 30 minutes and at 33 RPM this is most certainly an LP.

If the guidelines say that, then they need to be rewritten. I mean, we can all think of albums with fewer than 5 tracks.

The record i was talking about was actually released as a single and a 29,52 minute 12", but i have added the record as an LP as suggested.

Deciding whether it is a 12" LP, single or EP depends how it was marketed. In some instances the cat. no. (offhand, Parlophone's 12R prefix for 12" singles comes to mind) offers a clue. The number of tracks is not a reliable criterion ... I have several 12 "singles", that have 4 or 5 tracks, all different versions or mixes of the same basic recording.

The marketing aspect is certainly a factor, annaloog. For example, Squire's September Gurls from 1984 is still to be added, being a 5 track 12". It plays at 45rpm, but was referred to at the time as a mini album and was expanded to a full L.P. last year.
Then, on 45cat, we have the Gerry Anderson 7' series (Introducing Thunderbirds, for example)


7" , playing and playing at 33....

Re: Stereolab, just a 7" 45rpm single coming in at 3:29 and 4:56 cunningly (or confusingly) named "Stereo Debut Album".

Name it what you like but still a 7" 45rpm single :laugh:

This record was sold as a 12" single, plays at 33 1/3rd, yet is longer than some LPs!
