Often the hit (45 rpm) version was an edited version of the corresponding album track. Thankfully, either the record company, the producer, or the artist recognized that some songs needed to be edited down for the "hit" version, and today you'll only find those excellent edited releases by collecting the original 45s. In some cases, the edit was a bad idea ("Layla", for example), but in most cases that I know of, edited 45 versions capture the essence of the song without leaving out essential segments. In any case, these edited versions are what got played on the radio (unless radio stations used a promo 45 with a different edit), not the longer LP versions. Finding the original 45 (or a reissue 45 with the same edited version) will ensure you're hearing the version fans loved in the first place. For each item, the 45 track length is shown as well as the LP track length (where that length has been verified). Edits that are more than 2 minutes less than the LP cut are highlighted in yellow, while edits more than 1 minute less are highlighted in white.
Note: This is a partial list and is still being fleshed out. Entries that show "0:00" are ones for which I haven't yet verified time lengths. If you know of a record that should be here, send me a note through the Classic 45s Contacts page. The records are presented in rough chronological order. Last Updated 07/27/21, this page shows about 1,910 45s.

If Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and the entire Motown machine could create essential, enduring songs/recordings lasting less than 3 minutes or so, I believe it should be possible for almost any artist worth collecting. The key is good song editing: Don't repeat a given music phrase more than necessary, don't lengthen the fade-out unnecessarily, don't include musical segments that diminish the key ones, and tell your story in as few words as possible. Keeping pop songs under 3 minutes wasn't just done because it gave advertisers more air time, it was a good, best practice.
