Isn't the correct term for this format Cassingle? Also is there a limit to the number of tracks before it becomes a cassette, I seem to recall some were not eligible for single chart inclusion because there was to many. I've got some NME freebies with 4 & 5 tracks

Many referred to 'em as "cassingles", Poohbear, but I always thought it a horrible word. Mind you, I always thought it a pretty nasty format, too - especially in the '90s when so many were issued in preference to the good old 7".

As far as the number of tracks goes, I think the template of up to eight here is astute. The only release ever to hit the UK singles chart available solely on tape was Bow Wow Wow's "Your Cassette Pet" 'EP', which itself had eight tracks.

Cassingle is a trademarked name, as opposed to a general word.

Yeah, you'd need to wait for the album version, as this world is setup for singles only!

Anything lasting more than 25 mins we should class as an album (unless it's mixes of the same track)
