Miniatures (LP, Album).
The only restriction was that the piece couldn't be over a minute long. I purchased this album on vinyl in the mid 80's and listened to it for many years. I tend to think of it as theater for the ear. A wide range of subjects are covered through music, spoken word, audio collage, and other methods. It's not all music, but the styles include folk, avant garde, punk, classical, even vaudeville; and all tracks have a certain lo-fi feel.
Here is the text that was written inside this tape. There are a few minutes’ silence at the end of each side. some tapes are marked sides B and D instead.

Stephen Morgan Fisher (born 1 January 1950 in Mayfair, London) is an English keyboard player and composer, and is most known as a member of Mott the Hoople in the early 1970s. However, his career has covered a wide range of musical activities, and he is still active in the music industry. In 1980, Fisher conceived and produced the unique Miniatures - a sequence of fifty-one tiny masterpieces album (51 one-minute tracks by Robert Fripp, Gavin Bryars, Michael Nyman, The Pretenders, XTC, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Robert Wyatt, Ivor Cutler, The Damned et. A sequel was released in 2000. In addition he played with Queen on their 1982 tour of Europe, and Freddie Mercury can be seen humorously introducing him to the audience just before the band's performance of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", on the band's Queen on Fire - Live at the Bowl album.
