What about that Skrewdriver album on Chiswick (CH3), its got 13 tracks, not particularly short? But it sure runs on 45!

Well, that's the kind of 0.1% exception to rule area that'll always come up whatever is decided, and not knowing exactly how long it is means it's difficult to say. However, as it is still 45rpm, I'd say include it.

I'd say if the overall running time is over 25 minutes then it's an album and should be held back for album world.

Sorry for the delay in answering this.

I agree with this (especially given the number of tracks as well)... and before anyone asks, I'd say the same about "Feeding Of The 5000" as well... [awaits backlash]... :whistle:

FOTFF is nearly 35 mins long. I think we can safely consign it to this sites Room 101 !

No arguments with that from me, Billy. On the other side of the coin, though, what about "Smell Of Female", which was always listed on the indie albums chart (and it runs for under 25 mins)...can of worms anyone? I wouldn't be a decision maker in '12" Single World' for all the tea in China!!

Ha ! 33rpm, 6 tracks, 19.5 mins long.

Um...can we get back to you on that one PJ ?!

Please do keep the examples coming though, as they will help us define what's in and what's out...

My copy of 'SOF' (UK, Big Beat) is a 45, Billy...a 33 would be a mini-LP, but a 45...er...still might be a mini-LP. Sorry, I need a lie down.

Oh, really ?! Gawd - the New Rose (French) pressing is 33 !

My own personal initial feeling is that it shouldn't be included, but we'll have to have a "bit of a conversation" on it all !! :eek: :confused: :read:

Hi PJ - unanimous decision was no. Too "albumy" for us !

Marillions market square heros 12" plays at 33rpm and the bside is about 20 mins long on its own but a s it's only one track it still counts as a single right ...

That one's fine. It was a chart vehicle for the track Market Square Heroes, which came out on 7". There's quite a large difference between releases that are dedicated to promoting one obvious track, and the "small album" that is a collection of tracks (if you know what I'm saying...).
