Don McLean had a very good, long run at the top of the charts with his iconic 1971 music history stemwinder “American Pie,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972 and set a record for the longest song (8:42) to hold the top spot for nearly a half-century. That epic run ended this week when Taylor Swift added yet another honor to her already hefty list of accomplishments when the 10:13 long “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” officially became the longest No. 1 hit of all time.

Great song Chip! It got me thinking about the media choices that it was released on. When I think of singles the choices are limited (I'm talking about vinyl; not magnetic or any form of digital) I don't know about how this worked for American Pie. Can anyone with that info enlighten me?
This List shows the limits of Vinyl media:
7" 45 RPM (3:00 Optimum) Little HF loss / low noise; 4:00 Max) HF loss / noise
7" 33-1/3 RPM (5:00 Optimum) Little HF loss / low noise; 6:00 Max) HF loss / noise
