i thought the What About The Music instrumental was the shortest. isnt it about 1 min 27sec or something?

John & The wierdest flip to Can't get over these memories "No time" is 1 minutes 24 seconds long! What a fantastic tune it is as well.

LITTLE JOHN ON MARTAY

"nothing lasts forever"Staple singers,Epic 1.23mins...............why bother strange title for such a short record

Come Go With Me (1:53)

Finders Keepers (1:52)

Heartbeat pt 1 & 2 (4:17)

Run One Flight Of Stairs (1:58)

Mike

You're right.

Dont know where I got that from. The official time on the label is 1 minute 47 seconds , but I've just played it and its actually 1 minute 40 seconds.

No your'e not Kenny.

Melissa Morgan - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing 1.03

Not having this,i can beat this by a mile,but not sure,the Castro sisters??,they come on and say heres three mins of silence,and thats it total silence for 3mins,nobody is gonna listen too three mins of nowt,are they?,sold it Sean Hampsey

Isn't Don Ray's Born A Loser quite short as well?

Well this Hip Pocket Record is only four inches across so beat that!

Godz

It's true, I bought the famous "Three Minutes Of Silence" from Ken.

...One of his best recommendations I reckon!

I bet that's the only time anybody's ever got 3 minuites of silence out of Kenny

Isn't Don Ray's Born A Loser a bit short?[quote name='Supercorsa' date='Jun 18 2006, 03:

No, it's still about two minutes too long

One of the greatest 'short records' of all is Taurus and Leo's "Goin' Out The World Backwards" - label says 1 min 27 secs, record actually plays 1 min 24 secs...

Shortest actual song (3 mins of silence notwithstanding, it still lasts for 3 minutes after all!) I have in my collection is a country 45, Shel Silverstein's "26 Second Song". Go on, have a guess how long it plays for!

Sorry mate but , as I pointed out in my previous post, three minutes of silence still lasts for three minutes. If it was one second of silence I'd allow you....

TONE

Interesting fact but a load of bollocks as it's 1.47 oops didn't realise someone else said the same thing.

Anyway I'm going to win this competition because the shortest ever record played on the scene, and this was played before anyone says it wasn't..is Gordons Gin Theme which is about 45 seconds long. Was on an advertising disc given away in the early 70's.

Argh, had forgotten about that!

Yes, I remember it.

They (Gordons) also pressed up some with a spoken intro, something along the lines of "Everyone wants to know what this sound is and where it comes from, well here it is and it's the red hot sound of Gordon's Gin" sounded great over the system at both Wigan and Yate - NOT!

Also remember emi-discs that were cut from tapes made in cinemas!!! Sure I have it on cassette tape somewhere - I'm gonna be up all bloody night now.

John.

candy staton - now you got the upper hand - less than 2 minutes if memory serves me right

Hey-up Taffy they`res a million zillion records less than two mins`,not sure of the exact number,but bet its loads and loads

Danny Moore on ALLRITE is (i'm pretty sure) 1m41 secs - although I don't have it anymore to check.

Another short one (oooer) is Clarence Hill - Whole lot of loving Going round

Hammy.

Not got a sound-file Pete?

You could always play the chorus of "Happy Together" by the Jam instead, it's another of Weller's more blatant rip offs (see "So Is The Sun" (Trans Global Unity Express), "Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag" (Precious) and the intro of Martha and the Vandellas' "I'm Ready For Love" (A Town Called Malice) for others....)

au contraire young Kenneth,

Surely If I now own the record.... then I Must Be The Winner?

(I paid a pound a minute for the privilege, if my memory serves me right).

Just to satisfy my curiousity Sean, what's on the b side?

Pound a minute, wanna buy the 12" version

The 'B' side is a storming Northern Soul number which uses the backing track from Yvonne Baker "You Didn't Say a Word" on Parkway....

.... I didn't tell Ken at the time (which is why i bought it so cheaply) and I guess he never flipped it over, which just goes to show you, that you should always play the B sides.

The vocals and lyrics are even better than the Yvonne Baker track.

It's called "You Never Sang A Note"

Sean Hampsey

Couldn't resist.

Mike

I doubt it -how could you beat 10 mins of that!

BTW Pal & The Phrophet-Peace Pipe???Only just over a minute.................Before it was slowed down & called Space Odysee

well Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs - stay was short but it's normal Doo Wop, I know a shorter record but sadly it's by a ska punk band so don't count as we doing Northern and soul records

Not got a sound-file Pete?

No, not heard for maybe 27 years now and can barely remember it, but as Tony says, it lives on through The Jam

p.s. it was written by Jeff Wayne (war of the worlds)
