Barrington Levy - Black Roses (original cut)

Picked this up the other day and wondering if it is the shortest album ever released? Side 1 is about 9 minutes long. Side 2 maybe 12. Quality over quantity everytime though.

A very short album indeed but as you say its the quality that counts.

This album is possibly even shorter

Hey Dave

There *could* be a steward's enquiry on that as I can quite clearly see that side 1 adds up to 11 mins and 5 seconds!

Side 1 of "Rasta.." is 10 mins 14 secs;

So "KTW Dub" Side 2 has to 51 seconds shorter than "Rasta..." to be the winner! (Note to self; "Get a life.")

Hey Simon

Interesting topic though, how many times have you picked up an albums to find the running time is less than 30 minutes.

Hey Dave

Must admit all albums used to be around that length as that's about as much as you can get on 12" of vinyl without the sound quality deteriorating.
All killah, no fillah though!
