The Emperor in his War-Room

I have noticed that in the archives they list this song as over 23 minutes long. My cd shows the tune as only 9:04 long. I was wondering if progarchives made a mistake or is there a lengthened version of this tune that I am not aware about?
Track listing(This is the progarchives listing)
1. Killer (8:07) 
2. House with no Door (6:03) 
3. The Emperor in his War-Room (23:04) 
a) The Emperor (Hammill) 
b) The Room (Hammill) 
4. Lost (11:13) 
a) The Dance in Sand and Sea 
b) The Dance in the Frost 
5. Pioneers over C. (12:05)

Total Time: 60:32

	They have listed that the album length is 60:32. Substituting your 9.04 for the 23.04, we get an album length of 46:32. Considering this album was done in the early 70s, it had to be on vinyl. An album can max out, and really max out, at roughly 50 mins. Unless it was some sort of double album or a 12" + 7" album, which is exceedingly rare, the 46:32 makes more sense. Therefore, I conclude that you're right and that progarchives is dead wrong. Edited by Sweetnighter

	Yep -- the Archives track time is wrong. (Others are too.) A human error. I pointed this one out some months back, but the old listing persists.
