        Yes, it was common for vinyl LP's in the early 60's,
        to be blatantly fleshed out with crap filler,
        covers/copies of very commonly recorded
        stuff (Route 66, Hounddog, I dunno, stuff
        everybody knew). It was *blatant*.

        Even Motown LPs of the 60;s where very much 'the two hit
songs, the two b-sides and 8 remakes of other Motown artists hits'.

  re #17:  60s soul really wasn't an album-oriented genre so that's 
  really not surprising.

Were any genres really that album-oriented in the early 60s?

  I'm not aware of any, though that's hardly conclusive..

Miles Davis, John Coltrane and some other jazz guys are the only ones I
can think of. And I'm not absolutely sure on the dates.

Oh sure, lots of MOR stuff, like the Phase 4 Stereo albums my dad had
when I was growing up -- like an album full of suites of movie soundtrack
tunes, or an album of German beer drinking songs.  Mitch Miller was 
likely album oriented, too, though I can't say for sure.  And then there
was the classical field, and jazz as was earlier mentioned.

When were Frank Sinatra's comeback albums, after his teeny-bop years?
1950s, I think.

My parents had in those days two types of albums that weren't filler: 
classical and show tunes.
