KevH Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Not a major Northern item but I'll cite Taurus & Leo - Goin' Out The World Backwards (Velvet Sound). Label says it's 1m 27s. wow,never realised how short this track is!!.Try and fit it into a set whenever i can. Shortest track?....(but is it Northern) The Collegians - "Cookin'" on Hilltop...........1min 25 secs. Edited April 2, 2008 by KevH

Corbett80 Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) 'Trey J's "I Found it All In You" at around 1:50,' I think this is actually 1:37, could definitely do with another minute added to it! Brilliant all the same..... JP Robinson on Blue Candle ends too soon as well, always want him to come back in after the flute playout....... Edited April 3, 2008 by mulf
Our Kid Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Teddy Vann Orch - Coloured Man gotta be close on the shortest!
Missing Link Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Teddy Vann Orch - Coloured Man gotta be close on the shortest! Yeah, that one weighs in at a mighty 1:44.
Rob Wigley Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 What about that record james trouble took off the decks at the Britt---lasted about 35 seconds
Guest Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 How about Gloria Jones "Come go with me" at 1:53. And a track that I,ve used to finish off several soul tapes (remember them?) Big Maybelle "If I had you". Not only a great song but only 1:51 . Ideal for that last bit of tape that always seemed to be left when compiling a tape. Just one more to add. Another Big Maybelle track "Quittin, time" 1:57
Soulof Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Not the shortest but got another moment Billy & the Essentials ( thanks for tip M Freeman ) - My way of sayin on Smash clocks in on 1.51 . had hopes for Satisfactions on Smash as well but was way over 2 min....
