Topic: I’m looking for studio albums released on Vinyl Record where at least half of the tracks were also issued as standalone singles (think 7", 12", or both). So, if we are talking about an 8-track album, I suppose four or more of those songs had to have been released as singles somewhere in the world. Basically, that's the criteria.
Pick any song from the album to serve as your example, though you really ought to specify which studio album you're referring to and list the associated singles.
Compilations are, naturally, excluded from this discussion.
Live albums are also out, though I suspect it might be quite difficult to find an instance where half the setlist was released specifically as live singles.
We are only considering albums released prior to 1999.
