I have a shaped 10" interview disc... (Metallica as it happens)... do we need "Shaped Disc", "Interview Disc" or both, adding as formats? We have them on 45cat.

And if so... which do I enter my disc under? It's a 10" picture disc shaped like a circle saw blade (though sadly I dropped it some years ago, and one of the saw teeth snapped off :sad: )

Is the actual playing surface a 7"?

If so it'd be for 45cat.

If the playing surface is 10" then it'd belong here.

I'll add those new formats now as we'll certainly need them.

:thumbsup:

It's a 10" - I was always slightly disappointed I couldn't add it to 45cat (actually, I should probably double check, but I'm sure it's a 10).

I'll check it out later - and, of course, I'll add it onto the database.

Marillion did a 12" record called Brief Encounter. It has five songs and in the corner of the sleeve it says Mini-LP.
Is this safe to add as its really a 12" Ep with some b sides that hadnt been available in america before. OR shall i wait until LPworld is invented??

That one's probably just a bit too close to an LP, I'd say - it's half an hour long, 33.3rpm, and was supposed to be a collection of songs, rather than a vehicle for a main track...

Just fished out some more 12" only to find a ZZTop 4 track ep thats runs at 33 1/3 ?
Its actually entitled "The ZZTop summer holiday EP" so I am assuming thats ok for here?

That'd be OK, as it's an extended version of a 7" release...

It's actually 9 and a half inches wide (the playing surface) - weird! Gonna add it now.

Hi, I have the Honey Drippers Volume One 10" 5-track EP/album (Es Paranza 790220-1). So I think this would classify as a 10" mini-album, not a 10" single but what do others think?

Hi Gastronaut,

I reckon we could have that here.

We'll try and get a some definitive clarification of what's good and what's not asap, to avoid too much confusion. Well...99% definitive at least ! :read:

I'm still humming and hahing over this... Bowie thing

10", but six distinct tracks (and plays at 33).

What do we think? I'm leaning towards "No" (which is one of the reasons I haven't yet added it).

My own opinion is it's probably best to lump all modern day 10"s (ie not 78s) in one place, otherwise it's a case of waiting for an LPCat site, then trying to work out if it's a proper LP or not (then we'll get the same arguments, only reversed !).

Many of these 10" "Mini LP's" (see also here ) are just EP's which the record companies wanted to make more attractive. If it's 15 mins long it's not really a Long Player, whatever you call it !!

That's a fair point, I guess it would be straightforward to say if it's 10" (and not 78rpm) then it's in. Keeps things simple.

I'll add it later unless anyone gets there first.

Unless any conflicting opinions arrive in the meantime of course.

What about those 10" jazz LPs from the 50s and 60s? Surely they're not 10" singles... :huh:

I can see the Honey Drippers 5-tracker as an EP. But I do have an example of a modren 10" album in my collection:
Hassle Hound 10" on Picked Egg

With 9 tracks, lasting 37 mins, it has to be an album, doesn't it?

I would say that one's an album (or closer to one than anything else), yes, personally.
