Radio stations began accepting longer singles over the years -- in the

Just under 3 minutes? Many of them in that time period just barely broke
the 2-minute mark. 2:20-2:30 would have been more the norm, with 2:50+
being a bit of an eyebrow-raiser.

I looked at a Herman's Hermits CD the other day that I think contained
16 tracks, 38 minutes total.
