Question on original 1969 pressing of Alexander Skip Spence's "Oar"
Mar 23, 2023, 21:39
Hi everyone, I've never heard the original '69 pressing of Oar -- not even a vinyl rip! I have heard the Sundazed release many times since it was released in 1999, though, as well as the recent box set release and the '91 Sony remix. I am confused about something with the original pressing. According to Discogs, the track length of "Grey/Afro" on the original press of Oar is 12:10. It's listed as 11:27 for the Edsel LP pressing. However "Gray/Afro" is under 10 minutes on both the Sundazed and the Sony releases.

So, is this just an error on Discogs, or maybe that track length is taken directly from the LP sleeve, which itself is wrong? I do know of instances like this -- for example the track lengths on the jacket of Fleetwood Mac's "Future Games" are way off from the actual track lengths.

And if the original pressing of "Gray/Afro" is really 12:10 (or even 11:27!), how is it different from the 9+ minute Sundazed and Sony releases?

Thanks!
