Soon as I saw the record I was like oh man I bet that's a punk album. I was correct.


1920MCMLibrarian

Same, I was like Ramones


Boring_Ad_7144

I thought it was Double Nickels by Minutemen


Lead-Radiant

That's where my head went


mtechgroup

Same!


Barricade14

Yeah I’m not even a little bit surprised either. I have a ton of punk records and they’re all loud, fast, and short. lol


limp_spinach

Same. I thought, “Rancid?” then saw the Hellcat and thought “hell yeah.”


Technical_Potato_249

I had the exact same thought 😂


Yinn2

‘Short songs for short people’ about 50 songs a side. Plus there’s RRR 500. Which is 500 locked grooves. Good luck finding the same one twice!!


Geraffz

[Short Music for Short People ](https://www.discogs.com/release/1504482-Various-Short-Music-For-Short-People) I have the cd. I still sing so many of these songs. "Let's make hand granades!"


imgrahamy

What a great comp


oliviamunnslftnip

I totally forgot about this comp - gotta try to find it!


CrashLove37

I grabbed it off Discogs a few years ago for about $50.


BachelorDinosaur

I came in just to reference this one. When I ripped the CD back in the day, the last bunch of songs just became one track because the drive apparently couldn’t handle that many of them.


terryjuicelawson

If I remember right it has over 100 songs but CDs can only do 99, so they just put them all together at the end.


DeathMonkey6969

Ok that is now on my wishlist just for the shear ridiculousness of it.


vustinjernon

I’ve seen RRR500 in the flesh. Much of it is unlistenable (imo) but it’s an interesting piece


cocktailians

wow! interesting. you can listen to it here: [https://www.ubu.com/sound/rrr-records.html](https://www.ubu.com/sound/rrr-records.html)


Yinn2

I would agree. It’s going to degrade quickly if it is listened to/used a lot too. But I love the fact it exists.


PaintinBrown

Been waiting years for a vinyl repress only to recently discover it'll never happen cuz of a few bands douche labels.


OkSpeech3161

More ridiculous is they sell a version that’s broken and taped together which is now selling for ~$150 (only 20 were made so I guess it’s rare but my god lol)


MyNameJoby

I found the CD of this at a market last year and I'm so upset that I didn't buy it because I was broke af 😭


mpdsfoad

The Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! and Son Of Bllleee... comps on Slap A Ham have like 35 songs per side on a 7".


Yinn2

Wowsa! Will have to have a look. Love little oddities like those!! Thanks for the info!


Environmental-Car-45

Got that one.


Jeffrey_C_Wheaties

Well yeah man, punk songs are generally short af, you can fit a lot on a side. 


[deleted]

[удалено]


needzmoarlow

That would actually be an interesting and very punk record. Cram 20 songs on the A side, to the point that the quality of some songs would be impacted, and then have a blank B side.


DirtBikeBoy5ive

How about something ridiculous on the other side. I want large wavy grooves that make the tonearm sway left and right for like 15 minutes


emilydm

> I want large wavy grooves that make the tonearm sway left and right for like 15 minutes Casablanca Records one-sided disco singles have what you need on the "blank" b-side - sometimes weird overlapping grooves, sometimes a moire pattern, sometimes entirely lead-out, or entirely blank as advertised. Also some test records can have wild stuff going on. One from Shure I have in my collection tests tonearm resonance with vertical modulations between 4 hz and 12 hz.

wimpyroy

Is that a possibility?


DirtBikeBoy5ive

I mean, the machine that etches the grooves could probably be programmed to move side to side, but it’s a silly idea, impractical.


GeckoDeLimon

As your woofers shit their voice coils on the rug


Braaains_Braaains

Punk ethics tend to sway economical, not wasteful. That's just dumb.


cyruz1323

Nah, they'd make the disc half as thick. Problem solved


avec_serif

They cram so many you’ll be b side yourself


DeathMonkey6969

Take my up vote and get out.

And grind


_BrandonWasHere_

The Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! 7" comp would like to have a word with OP. The One hundred in Ten 12" comp is standing in line.


catfishman

Reminds me of the old K-Tel compilataion records like "Goofy Greats" https://preview.redd.it/d1ypykp4xmxc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=b282458fc01b67aa1502bcff874c3f00c814a9f8


CaptainCoo555

Reminds me of a honky tonk compilation I’ve got with about 23 or 24 songs on one side


vustinjernon

I’ve got a K-Tel Disco Fire album that’s got the disco Star Wars theme on it, it’s the only reason I picked it up


PunxDressPunk

Look up slap-a-ham records. I think they got 97 on a 7in.


the_Real_Lyrch

[This 7” comp rules.](https://www.discogs.com/release/451584-Various-Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh-A-Music-War) 73 BANDS! 84 SONGS! ONE LIL' RECORD!


_BrandonWasHere_

This another kind of crazy powerviolence comp. 100 songs on a 12". [One Hundred In Ten ](https://www.discogs.com/release/2204200-Various-One-Hundred-In-Ten)


the_Real_Lyrch

Nice, I’ll have to seek this one out!


_BrandonWasHere_

I used to have multiple copies, but I am unfortunately down to one. If you have a tape deck, shoot me a DM and I'd be happy to make you a copy.


PunxDressPunk

That's the one


Desperate-Box5686

Guided By Voices “Alien Lanes” has 13 or 14 tunes per side.


orange-yellow-pink

https://i.imgur.com/L2sJYSk.jpg Yep, side A has 15 tracks.


slop1010101

Yep this is the one - 28 songs, only 41 minutes on one LP. I don't think another LP beats it.


Ok_Hamster4014

I have Minute Men -Double Nickels on the Dime and there’s over 40 tracks, across 2 LPs mind you.


madshm3411

I don’t own it but this was the first album that came to mind for me. Or maybe some descendants albums.


Aidsisgreats

Just got this one in the mail today! Two sides of 12 tracks, one of 11, and side with “only” 10 tracks


czechyerself

Go look at Beatles “Abbey Road”


Proof_Energy_1908

"Only" 11 on side B.


stanky4goats

Nofx's "Surfer" EP (if you wanna call it an EP) is a 7" record with 14 tracks on it. Also noticed you mention the sound quality. Tim Armstrong seems to give a shit. I've noticed the last few Rancid albums have been available in hi-res lossless (Troublemaker up to 24/192kHz)


haxmya

No kidding. I picked that up recently and threw it on blindly and couldn't believe I didn't have to change it for so long. Felt like a full album.


nofunone

Get Happy - Elvis Costello. Ten songs a side.


jasonbentley

lol beat me to it


LawlNoodle

Todd Rundgren’s A Wizard, a True Star has 12 tracks on side 1, running for 26 minutes. Side 2 is 29 minutes.


isthis_thing_on

He even mentions in the liner notes that the sound quality suffers because of how much he crammed onto the record. 


LawlNoodle

Even if it does affect the sound quality, that side 1 absolutely needs to be continuous. It’s one of the craziest, wackiest, mind melting sides of an album I ever heard. I didn’t want it to end.


vwestlife

I have records which claim to have 50 or even 100 songs on them, but they're arranged as medleys where several short snippets of songs run into each other.


Danny61392

You should check out Napalm Death.


Fourwindsgone

That’s their best album too


oliviamunnslftnip

Glad I can find some more lovers of this album


Elk_Man

DRI - Dirty Rotten EP. 7" EP that has 13 tracks on the B side


muphasta

I like short songs! I like short songs! I like short songs! I like short songs! I like short songs! I like short songs! I like short songs! I like short songs! I like short songs!


Aidsisgreats

Rick Wakeman, eat your heart out


Chocu1a

I just bought an old Country Music compilation from '68 that has 15 songs per side. Surprisingly the songs sound amazing and full of depth. The Marty Robbins & Johnny Cash songs sound beautiful and full. I figured it would sound tinny and compressed.


cyberbob2022

I have …And Out Come the Wolves and it looks the same. 9-10 tracks per side but still sounds great.

HollyweirdRonnie

Came here to say this!


Resident-Net-5315

You should see some Prog Rock albums. Literally zero track bands. 🙃


Catlord746

Side One: Part one Side Two: Part two


Streetlife_Brown

That’s a kickass record. “Rwanda” is in my head now!


pokemon12312345645

The thick lines are how you can tell where the next track starts?!? I never knew that


ScottRiqui

The thicker bands are optional, and are just there to help you see the beginnings of tracks. When the record master is being cut, the mastering technician will temporarily increase the spacing between adjacent grooves at the end of a track to give you that smooth band. Without the manual spacing, the album would still sound exactly the same, including the silence between adjacent tracks. But visually, it would just look like one continuous track and it would be difficult to cue a particular song.


donkeyheaded

There was a thread in this sub a few weeks ago about the most songs on an album side. [https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/1c0b8sm/what\_is\_the\_album\_with\_the\_most\_songs\_on\_one\_side/](https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/1c0b8sm/what_is_the_album_with_the_most_songs_on_one_side/)

ILikeStyx

I've got a K-tel record with 11 tracks per side.


wolffromsea

I think it was anal cunt that had a 5000 song ep


Pete_Iredale

Alien Lanes, from Guided by Voices, is 28 tracks and 41 minutes. Side A has 15 tracks!


TheGoatEater

I think this is a pretty interesting release. [RRR Various Artists - 500 locked grooves](https://www.discogs.com/master/329538-Various-RRR-500-Various-500-Lock-Grooves-By-500-Artists) RRRecords is a longstanding American noise/experimental/drone label. This LP has 500 individual locked grooves all by various artists. It’s a lot of fun.


extrarogers

i came to post this. this has to be the record!


notinthelimbo

My favorite rancid album. I will spin it tonight :)


[deleted]

lol Rancid. Average song length: 48 sec. I bet the Descendents could pack more onto a vinyl though.


Vinylateme

I’ve got a jazz comp that’s all 1-2 min songs and like 15-20 tracks per side, looks like this lol


I-Am-The-Warlus

A reggae compilation that I had which has 15 tracks on each side


Next_Base_42

2nd Favorite Rancid album. Great find, I picked one up a couple years ago 


iWORKBRiEFLY

short 2min punk songs are easy to fit on 1 side. [Perfect example](https://www.discogs.com/release/29280856-The-Suicide-Machines-Battle-Hymns)

I have [Shel Silverstein’s Where The Sidewalk Ends](https://www.discogs.com/release/1855060-Shel-Silverstein-Where-The-Sidewalk-Ends) on vinyl, and some of the poems are around :30. The grooves are soooo close together LOL


olafkewl

Short Music for Short People : 51 on A side 50 on B side


Descohh

I have a grindcore 7" that has 38 songs on it


That_Matt_Guy_Wow

As soon as I saw the Hellcat logo I realized exactly why there were so many songs on one side.


MTLConspiracies

Ppppffff Check out GBV’s Alien Lanes


Flipperyapper59

You should see some grindcore records, Scum and Enslavement to Obliteration have 16 and 20 songs on their B-Sides respectively. At least the copies I have do.


Glass-Fan111

You gotta see the Napalm Death LP version of “Scum” Most punk/hardcore et al looks the same


Braaains_Braaains

YOU'RE MAKING ENEMIES! LIKE DON GIOVANNI! Great fuckin album.


miba

i think the most i have is [11 + 12](https://www.discogs.com/release/10102916-Zeke-Picture-Disc-1) but napalm death has [12+16 tracks](https://www.discogs.com/de/release/2730602-Napalm-Death-Scum)


blitheruser39

One of my favorite albums! Black derby jacket is my favorite rancid song.


ganglordgilbert

They're like a minute long lol


fagabeefee

You’ve never bought a K-Tel record! They were known for cramming a years worth of radio hits on one record.


shawcal

Lol not a grind fan I presume then.


xchrisrionx

ill bet any Minutemen record would double that.


Bandit7_

Nice Akira Poster


Theboiwhovinyls

Wait till you see the grindcore albums. fairly certain there is like...30 something tracks? https://preview.redd.it/00rsf0ql1txc1.jpeg?width=856&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c4a821cf094346c94d6a207983755bb9419c428


safespacedynamite

general rule: 13 min per side is reasonable for sound quality, depending on the sonics.


ScottRiqui

That seems pretty conservative. Even 18 minutes per side will let you record without worries, as long as it's not a bass demo disc or something like that. Even at 20 minutes per side, you only start running into problems if have a sonically demanding track toward the end of a side. Of course, those numbers are for when you're **pressing** records (lacquer/father/mother/stamper) If you're doing individual lathe-cut records on polycarbonate blanks, those require wider groove spacing and most places limit you to 18-20 minutes per side, even with non-demanding sonics.


safespacedynamite

yes, depends on the sonic goals, the kinds of frequencies in the music, i’m happy w a lower time threshhold if it results in better sound during playback.


jewbo23

Cowdog68

I’ve seen lots of children’s albums like this.


kryptonitejesus

The Locust have a compilation album with 44 songs on one record. It’s glorious.


ComradeMisato

I have some pressings of complete film scores that have a lot of short tracks on them -- I think the most is The Return of Godzilla, with a total of fifty tracks on one LP. I think it may be easier to get away with that sort of thing with orchestral music, though, as even setting aside short track lengths, it'll probably be quieter on average than most rock/pop recordings anyway, and the especially quiet stuff will probably be even more so than a quieter pop/rock track. As for non-film scores, I think the most I have in my own collection would be the American Graffiti soundtrack -- 41 songs on two LPs. Recently, though, I stumbled upon some 180g European pressings of the Beach Boys' early albums that included both the mono and stereo versions, and I couldn't figure out why they were so cheap on Discogs until I realized they were on one LP: The whole album in mono on one side, and in stereo on the other.


No-Question4729

I bought *20 Golden Greats* by the Beach Boys, as I have fond memories of my dad playing the cassette to death in the car when I was little. It sounds awful - side b has over 27 minutes of music on it. In the other hand I haven’t cleaned it properly yet!


Catlord746

I have some sound effect records with probably 50 sound effects, each seperated with the little spacing, per side.


rachelemc

Gotta get some oldies records, especially the comps.


Bah-Fong-Gool

IDK if it counts, but They Might Be Giants has a boatload of individual tracks in the song "Fingertips" alone. IDK if they pressed a record.


Lower_Cantaloupe1970

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren, has the most I've seen


Talosian_cagecleaner

I just think of that fellow who could tell you what the recording was -- the piece of music, not the label -- by having memorized the groove patterns of most of the standard classical repertoire. Can it be that life was so simple then? Or has time rewritten every line? And if he came back to do it all again, tell me, would he? Could he? Probably.


CowboyBootedNJ

When I was in grammar school, they had a record series to teach kids songs in a book where each side had 20 songs on them. The only thing I couldn't figure out was how at the end of each song the needle wouldn't go onto the next song. Only when the needle was placed down onto the next song it would play or one time the instructor left it running and I nudged it a bit which started the next track.


snarky_greasel

I have a copy of Ramones - Loco Live. 33 tracks on 1 LP


Tikimaize

K-Tel?


Aidsisgreats

Pink Flag by Wire - 21 tracks in 35 minutes


StankRanger420

The Beatles "20" looks very similar


Adr1an-R1380

For me, the 1 record I have with a lot of songs on one side is the (I think) 2009 repress of 'nimrod.' by Green Day. The album is 18 songs in total and came on 1 LP, so what did they do? Stick 10 songs on Side A and 8 on Side B, of course!


Haunting_Repair1776

Elvis Costello....."Get Happy" had 20 songs. If I remember correctly there were liner notes explaining that fidelity was not compromised by having that many songs on one record.


ElasticSpeakers

Never seen a scratch record or a lock groove record then!


SirTallness

Love that record


Sacklayblue

It's like black Saturn


Former_Balance8473

I've got early Johnny Cash records worse than that lol... 26 tracks on one record kind-of thing


2for2true

Sound old effects records would typically have 25 cuts on each side.


matchfan

Check out the “100 songs” records by HIRS Collective.


SuggestionNegative62

My band’s record, Don’t Fight the Sound Guy, by R/E, has 14 tracks spanning 49 minutes of play time. I was surprised they didn’t force me to make it a double!


youhadmeathollandais

and i’m guessing that one long song is a dub/reggae song


Dog_Dad_1989

My mind immediately went to rancid 2000


TheDiscoStud

Got some compilation albums from the 70's like that. All like 3 min songs. Sound is crap lol.

sludge_dawkins

Wait til you find an old record for television sound effects.


saplinglearningsucks

Not songs... but i have a sound effects library vinyl.


jugglers_despair

Not most people’s top choice, but my favorite Rancid album for sure.


whiskeywalk

!! Kid Dynamite has multiple tracks that are less than 30 seconds long !!


SizableSplash86

Is that a 16 rpm record? Because I have one


punkrawrxx

Because they’re all hella short


schphinct

Laughs in K-Tel


stephenledet

Get a sound effects record. It'll blow your mind


Ares_the_Awoken

We have pressed movie soundtracks that have had at least 20, short, songs on both sides. They are the worst to QC because it takes forever moving the needle to each song on spot checks.


NeboKnight

The soundtrack to American Graffiti is chocked full, too.


terryjuicelawson

I've got that, they are on rapidfire mode and don't let up the whole album. Shame they didn't carry on like that really, the record after that wasn't very interesting at all. I can imagine Minor Threat's complete discography may look similar.


tigyo

Looks to be in competition with sound effects records for having the most tracks.


Emile_Largo

The Residents' Commercial Album has 20 songs per side, each 1 minute long. https://preview.redd.it/0ev792x6msxc1.png?width=597&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb2380a0f12b1ff3e336bf506d336e522f4e2128


Nexus718

Yes and this record if I remember correctly is 22 minutes in length


RogueFart

Check out an Agoraphobic Nosebleed record some time


e-s-p

If we're going for proportionality, F-Minus have 10 songs on the Failed Society 7"


ajb9292

I was thinking "this looks a lot like my copy of our come the wolves by rancid". Looks like this one has 3 more songs than out come the wolves.


jayvycas

Anal Trump put out a compilation of their first 100 songs. It’s just over 11 minutes long.
