Title: Album lengths 1967 Post by: grooveblaster on November 01, 2011, 04:47:28 AM Hey,
What was the average album length, time-wise, in 1967? Curious because obviously the 1967 SMiLE would not have been the 19 song TSS extravaganza.

Title: Re: Album lengths 1967 Post by: P.J. on November 01, 2011, 09:02:35 AM So the 12 songs listed on the original cover would be about the right length Yeah, approximately. I always make my mixes based on previous and post Beach Boy album lengths: Quote Summer Days (Side 1): 13:58 Summer Days (Side 2): 12:47 Party! (Side 1): 16:06 Party! (Side 2): 15:00 Pet Sounds (Side 1): 18:43 Pet Sounds (Side 2): 17:28 Smiley Smile (Side 1): 12:56 Smiley Smile (Side 2): 14:41 Notice how short Summer Days and Smiley Smile are. Since it seems that Pet Sounds was viewed as "special" in the boys' eyes it gets a bit more filled out time in there. I would think the same would go for Smile and so I try to make my mixes about 17-19 mins per side.

Well, no but he obviously wouldn't pack in EVERY H&V piece. Not enough room. Title: Re: Album lengths 1967 Post by: grooveblaster on November 01, 2011, 10:23:40 AM Did some quick figuring just using the times on the mono TSS mixes of the 12 songs from the original cover and you have 37 minutes of music.
