I can't spin the vinyl yet because my turntable is in another state. Sorry, I know this is probably one of those questions that has been answered over and over but since I haven't been buying albums for over 20 years I haven't paid attention... Thanks! Brian

Brian The original Blue Monday a-side only lasts around 6:30. The original b-side - The Beach - lasts around eight minutes, which is why Blue Monday '83 was only released (as a single) on 12" vinyl. I borrowed my older brother's copy of Substance on cassette for a good ten years, but never saw any tracklisting times. I'm sure someone here will know more, and it's good to have some new faces on the scene!

The copy of Substance on vinyl that I have (Qwest) does have times listed for all the tracks(the label on the actual vinyl). I first bought the cassette sometime in 1988, and the cd's a couple of years later, I've always know Blue Monday was around 7:29 I just found it really odd that it was listed as 8:12...
