39 Minutes is the fourth and final studio album by the Irish pop group Microdisney, released in 1988.[1][2] It was a commercial disappointment.[3] The first single was "Singer's Hampstead Home", allegedly a criticism of Boy George's celebrity persona.[4] It was followed by the release, from this album, of Microdisney's final single, "Gale Force Wind",[5] which reached number 98 on the UK singles chart.[6]
