[Misc] Old albums you’d nearly forgotten about

[Questions]

My Sunday morning listening has been The Raw and the Cooked by Fine Young Cannibals.
Brilliant album but it also brings back those memories (feint) of those clubbing days of yesteryear.
Drives me crazy is immense.

Possibly the shortest album ever made. Quality songs but a total pisstake in terms of playing time.

Funny you should mention this, as was playing Too-Rye-Ay by the Dexys Midnight Runners this morning.

 

[Swegulls]

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. Damn good!

Pop albums were shorter because of 3 minute songs for the radio I guess. Just checked it was 36 minutes.

I have it on vinyl

Somewhere I read a comment by Pete Townshend that 18minutes a side is the most you want to go up to for a rock album before the sound quality starts getting worse.

You want a pisstake of an album length, try 60s Beach Boys albums. All Summer Long is only 25minutes in total.

So many on my shelf:
- Astral Weeks
- Blood, Sweat and Tears
- Rip Tide, Robert Palmer
- Standing in the Light, Level 42

Having a sort out Sunday and came across this (on CD, originally had the cassette in 88). Still a decent album and brings back happy memories of leaving school.

Kimono My House - Sparks, dug it out again after seeing them at Glastonbury

Spooky, as only this morning I stumbled across A Woofer In Tweeters Clothing (second album 1973) Gave it a listen, it sounded as good as ever.

A really good album, I love the intro and the way it runs as one track.

Yet he released Quadrophenia at 81 minutes playing time and Tommy at 75 minutes playing time. Who's Next is 45 minutes long.

The Best of The Strawbs

A very pleasant listen despite it’s dark subject matter
