And, as I'd said earlier - a large chunk of the Morr catalogue as well. It just goes to show how evolving technologies reshape definitions. LPs had time limitations of about 60 minutes before the sound quality diminished by sqaushing more grooves in. I dunno..I'm of the opinion that the whole thing is more gray than black and white - unless, of course, you are under the gun of radio guidelines or various marketing stipulations. Seems to me that much of the music we are referencing is about challenging boundaries anyway... jeff -------------- Original message ----------------------
