" 12" DISCOGRAPHY (MAXI-SINGLES & EPs)".
(by Andrea Amelotti)
La presente discografia rende necessaria una breve premessa sul suo oggetto. Per Maxi-Singles devono intendersi supporti vinilici a 12 pollici recanti un limitato numero di canzoni (da un minimo di una ad un massimo di quattro con alcune eccezioni) tanto da farli ritenere dei "45 giri" pubblicati sotto forma di "33 giri". In tal senso essi costituiscono l'opposto degli EP, ovvero, "45 giri" che contengono piω delle solite due canzoni.
Questo
tipo di classificazione impone pertanto di considerare veri e propri LP quei
dischi incisi a 33 giri recanti piω di quattro canzoni, la cui catalogazione puς
essere controversa: ad esempio, vanno considerati senza dubbio LP i promozionali
di The Wall ("Off the Wall" - USA ed il suo omologo "The Wall in
Store" - JAP), cosμ come i dischi promozionali "Pink Floyd in Europe"
(che Vernon Fitch inserisce invece tra i 12" inglesi) ed il suo
corrispondente "Pink Floyd en Espana".
Vengono
invece unanimemente ritenuti 12" il disco di Roger Waters "Selection
of The Pros & Cons of Hitch Hiking" (che contiene sei canzoni) e "The
Peel Sessions of Syd Barrett" (che ne contiene cinque).
Altro
criterio potrebbe essere fondato sul tipo di incisione nel senso di considerare
LP tutte le produzioni di dimensione 12 pollici incise a 33 giri e maxi-singles
solo quelle a 45 giri; ho pertanto inserito tra i 12" il raro disco
giapponese "The Wall D.J. Copy", nella considerazione che entrambe le
facciate sono incise a 45 giri: il dibattito θ comunque aperto!
In
questa discografia sono stati inseriti 105 dischi per i quali ho avuto sicuri
riscontri in ordine alla loro esistenza. La descrizione θ accurata per i dischi
appartenenti alla mia collezione (81) mentre per gli altri mi sono limitato ad
indicazioni sintetiche.
Ritengo tuttavia che la presente discografia sia quasi del tutto esaustiva e che le edizioni mondiali dei 12" non superino i 110 tipi al massimo.
