I'll go with that like

[The Great Perhaps]

Tracks on EPs could be even shorter.

On another note, 6 Music played the full length version of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' a few weeks ago. A great moment.

Can't decide if they should be longer or as they are.

[alanturing]

Yes but didn't the radio stations (especially the pre Radio 1 light broadcasting era) dictate that a record couldn't last more than 3 minutes?
Listen to Tony Blackburn's Saturday afternoon double top 20 programme and the vast amount of records played last less than 3 minutes.

A lot of The Smiths tunes were around that length.

Which was a good thing as it kept the suicide rate low.

Tracks like Hey Jude and Bohemian Rhapsody caused a stir because of track length back in the day,radio stations weren't happy! On the other hand i much prefer the short version of 'American Pie' the long version does my head in!
