Understood, but my impetus for mentioning the Fab Four in the first place was the brevity of the LP format and the advantages it brought.  I'm guessing that the UK versions did not conveniently fit into 15- and 30-minute timeframes correct?  Hence the "less is more" comment regarding the Capitol albums.

I’m not sure what the impetus was for Capitol’s “editing” but I also understand your point.

Bresna.

Sorry I got us off track with the Beatles.  Simply comparing 30-minute programs to 80-minute programs, or 82-minute programs.

Pretty much established that it was to get more product onto the market.

As for Stones, albums....who cares? They were a singles band for as long as that kind of thing mattered, imo, and then...it no longer mattered to me.

Agreed, for all those years and albums, only "Beggar's Banquet" through "Exile on Main Street" hold up for me.  But lots of great singles before (and during) that time.
