TommieOnTheSpot Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Agree with you give me 60's 2mins 30secs, wham bang thank you ma'am any time! But then again one of my favorite records is seven day lover - james fountain and as much as I love it it does sometimes seem to go on a bit!
Guest soulpeeper Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Come on train - love the first half of the song but thats it
Guest WheelCity45 Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Think they ran out off writing paper... Edited May 21, 2013 by WheelCity45

Scotters Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Barbara Lynn -Trying to love two.... 4mins 40 secs (ish). I love the record and have a minty issue on Ichiban, but it's 2 mins too long I think. 1
TommieOnTheSpot Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Think they ran out off writing paper... Does more thinking then Stephen Hawkins... Conner LOL! (I love this track though!)
Hammie Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 ORDINARY JOE - TERRY CALLIER Does go on a bit, I tend to fade out the end before i fall asleep when DJing 1
Guest allnightandy Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 This ! love it As it still reminds me of walking into the Casino !
ZootSuit Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Been listening to some 70s cds in the car lately for a change (mainly a 60s person) I started to wonder why the trend towards longer record times came about, what were the writers thinking and why change? Irrespective of your taste and whether you like these records or not some of them go on for so long and are so repetitive, doesn't it do your head in after a bit? So what I'm asking really is even if you like the 70s records doesn't it get on your nerves after 4 mins or so? Give me 2mins 30secs, wham bang thank you ma'am any time! Disclaimer:- this thread is not intended as another 60s v 70s debate, any move in that direction will be due to individual posters and the thread starter will accept no responsibility for any such circumstances arisng Bit like my Mrs.......she goes on and on and on and............

Codfromderby Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 dare i say it but gladys knight "no one could love you more" is great for the first 45 secs, then gets very repetitive, cant play it all the way through, also "strange" by tradewinds once again less than a minute would be enough
Quinvy Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 All 70's records that take 30 seconds before anyone actually sings a note. I have lost the will to live before that and taken the needle off the vinyl. There should be a limit of 2 minutes 30 seconds on ALL songs. [except for that Adele, and she should be limited to 2 min 30 sec per album]. maximum!
