Hello all, I was just playing the excellent;

Peggy Gaines "Sweet way of living" (Ref-o-ree), and realised it was very, very short.

Although the label says 2m40s, I timed it, and it's actually just 89seconds long!

Is this the shortest time for a 45 release, or do you know better?

Trey J's - I found it all in you - Tee Gem

Runs it very close then at 1min 37

Still what a great sound!!!!

Always thought Don Ray - Born a loser - was one of the shortest,sure someone will have an exact time.

Close but no cigar - 1min 46s

nothing lasts forever - Staple singers - Epic 45 that lasts a total of 1min 14secs.

The UK instrumental version of Billy Harner "What about the music". 67 seconds I think.

But I have a James Brown promo announcement on a Smash label single 7 seconds

If the file was uploaded around the end of 2005 by Mike, it was most probably edited down to around 90 seconds.

Syl Johnson - Do You Know What Love Is ?

It's certainly well under 2 minutes.

No, it's my own vinyl copy that I ripped this week, that's why I noticed how short it was.

PS. Some interesting replies guys.
