The 10 longest PSB album tracks (not counting bootlegs, "special editions," or Disco albums)
The
whole matter of track length is imprecise. Which figure do you use? The "official"
figure often marked on album covers or discs? Sometimes it's incorrect. The figure
that appears on the digital readout of your CD player or computer? Often it varies
from one device to another. (Yes, I've tried it!) So what figures do I use here?
Simple. I've checked various sources—album covers, CD readouts, online references—and
then picked the figure that appears most often for each track. Majority rules,
if not always definitively! 
First off, I should point out that "Cricket Wife," released on a special bonus CD single with Annually 2021, has a length of 9:59. That would put it at the very top of the following list—only it's not a "PSB album track."
- 9:24 - It's Alright (on Introspective)
- 9:05 - Always on My Mind/In My House (on Introspective)
- 9:00 - Drama in the Harbour (on Battleship Potemkin)
- 8:10 - Left to My Own Devices (on Introspective)
- 7:41 - Domino Dancing (on Introspective)
- 7:23 - I'm Not Scared (on Introspective)
- 7:23 - After All (on Battleship Potemkin)
- 7:10 - The Grind (on The Most Incredible Thing)
- 6:50 - Odessa (on Battleship Potemkin)
- 6:48 - Being Boring (on Behaviour)
It's worth noting that some of the movements of A Man from the Future are longer than the shorter tracks on this list, but I consdier them "disqualified" because they haven't yet been official released. But if they were released on an album, "Natural Wonders Every Child Should Know" (approximately 7:40 in length) and "The Trial" (approximately 7:14) would appear in a newly reordered "ten longest" list.
