There are many, short but sweet LPs in my collection.
What are a few of your favorite short LPs?
This is an all time fave of mine, with a favorite short song too:
Pink Moon by Nick Drake

Beatles '65 from 1964.
One of Capitol's best compilation LPs of early Beatles songs.
It was called The best and first of the early Beatles 'classic Concept' albums in 1986 by Rolling Stone, but of course it was not the Beatles concept, rather it was Capitol's concept.
Any way...I love it. And contains one of the best short songs ever IMHO.

Soft Parade by The Doors...only nine songs, seven of them pretty brief. Wild Child is my favorite of them. Still pondering why Who Scared You was left off.

Yes Underture - when I bought Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine in I think, 1972 I couldn't work out where Who Scared You had come from - no internet then of course! The song has always been a favourite of mine.
And Lemonade Kid - your mention of Beatles 65 reminds me that whilst on holiday in Spain during 1976, I bought a copy of the Hey Jude album - it would be another three years before that one was officially released in the UK. The interesting thing about this Spanish version was that it was without The Ballad of John and Yoko, which had been banned under the Franco regime. And so the whole thing clocked in at under 30 minutes. |

Another short one, new but already a "classic" in my listening room.
Leonard Cohen, "Thanks For The Dance" released Nov 2019...29 minutes.

Bad Finger/No Dice/Without You. Nilsson, had a Nilsson-version of this song that was a hit for him.
It's all the same day. |

Scottish and European, not British.
Classic!

Hey LK
Try this one for a short album - Tony Molina "Kill the Lights" - Got a very nice Beatlesy vibe to some of the tracks and the album clocks in at around 15 minutes!!

Nice. New to me! Beatles-esque for sure in a good way.
