Def Mute Records Music Running Time Tiers
We remember the days when a forty-five minute album constituted a Full LP. Those albums always seemed like they were longer than they really were until artists and groups started doubling those running times up with ease. Soon the quality and quantity discussions started up on our very own record label, but regardless, we now know what to call whatever it is we produce - however long it might be.
| Single |
One (1) song per EP, Two (2) songs per LP |
| EP |
Up to forty-five (45) minutes |
| Full LP |
From forty-five (45) minutes to ninety (90) minutes |
| Double LP |
From ninety (90+) minutes on up |
