   Ummm, the maximum ideal length of an LP is 42 minutes (21 minutes each   
   side), which   
   SMiLE exceeds (can't confirm length right now), but it's not far off.   
   Don't know of any 60's (single) albums that exceed it, lots shorter.   
   Usually the shorter the LP, the better the sound.
