I have a bunch of these Waldorf labels.  Most of them are 3 songs, some 2.  However, one lists 6 songs per side by Knuckles O'Toole.  Interestingly, the record visually looks like it only has 3 songs per side.  The longer side clocks in at 6 min 50 sec.

Just checked a disc I junked today, another fine product from "Top Hit Tunes" 
(Waldorf Music Hall, Grand Award etc). Each side plays well over 8 minutes and 
contains 4 songs, played for you by Enoch Light, Artie Malvin, Bob Eberly and 
that's it for people you've heard of.

Naturally it's microgroove..naturally it was probably played with a bent pin 
but aside from a couple of skips, it sounds surprisingly good. Better than it 
looks.

I think I've run across a longer microgroove 78 from these same folks, but 8+ 
minutes on a ten-inch 78 side is pretty good.
