At the time of release of Blue Room (1992), the Uk
chart regulkations were a little less tringnt than
they are now:
i)four seperate tracks up to 25 mi nutes in length or
ii)Up to EIGHT mixes of the same track totalling less
than 40 minutes maximum.
As Blue Room was a solitary mix of a single track
lasting 39m58s (the two extra seconds required for the
CD runoff time at the beginning and end), it thus
qualified as a single under the then current
regulations (with its companion 2nd cd). Since the
rules changed, it would now be classified as an album
in its own right.
