All Killer, No More Filler: Edit an overlong album
There have been many double (or more) albums released where there is a killer sub 45 minutes single album ready to be released, if only they had been edited properly.
The same certainly applied in the 1990s where far too many artists felt the need to fill up over 70 minutes of a single CD, so spoiling that album's "All Killer, No Filler" potential.
So with vinyl coming back in vogue, I thought it is time to suggest and indeed come up with your own single LP of an album that was far too long to begin with.
Ideally aim for two sides of sub 23 minutes each, that combined would fit on to a single 45 minute side of an old 90 minutes TDK cassette like all classic albums did for us nostalgic 40 somethings when we were teenagers when CDs were a new thing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To give one example:
Led Zeppelin's 1975 15 track, 82 minute double album Physical Graffiti
given this edit:
Side 1: 20 mins 32 seconds
1. Custard Pie 4:14 2. The Rover 5:37 3. The Wanton Song 4:10
4. Ten Years Gone 6:31
Side 2: 21 mins 41 seconds
1. Night Flight 3:36
2. Houses Of The Holy 4:02
3. Trampled Under Foot 5:35
4. Kashmir 8:28

I did this once (for my own amusement) for Madonna's Rebel Heart album. It went something like:
Side 1:
1. Living For Love 2. Devil Pray 3. Ghosttown 4. Joan Of Arc 5. Messiah 6. Rebel Heart
Side 2:
1. Beautiful Scars 2. Addicted 3. Wash All Over Me 4. Borrowed Time 5. Hold Tight 6. Bitch I'm Madonna
