Four Thousand Seven Hundred And Sixty-Six Seconds - A Short Cut To Teenage Fanclub is a greatest hits album by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, released on 27 January 2003. The title refers to the album's total length, just 34 seconds short of the maximum running time possible on a single CD: as a consequence the tracks "Star Sign" and "My Uptight Life" were edited from its original versions in order to fit on to the album. "Everything Flows" was remixed for this collection.
The album comprises fourteen singles, four album tracks, and three new songs written for the album. It reached #47 in the UK album charts.[1]
