That's the Short and Long of It is an EP by New Zealand band Tall Dwarfs, released in 1985. [3] [4]
Spin said, "With sparse, careful production, each track takes on an otherwordly identity. Nothing pretentious, pompous, or theatrical, even though the Dwarfs practically have an orchestra within the band. It has a delicate atmosphere that seems lifted from old Beatles LPs." [5]

It laid the foundations for later machinery such as the spinning jenny and spinning frame, which displaced the spinning wheel during the Industrial Revolution.
Dwarfism is a condition of people and animals marked by unusually small size or short stature. In humans, it is sometimes defined as an adult height of less than 147 centimetres, regardless of sex; the average adult height among people with dwarfism is 120 centimetres (4 ft). Disproportionate dwarfism is characterized by either short limbs or a short torso. In cases of proportionate dwarfism, both the limbs and torso are unusually small. Intelligence is usually normal, and most people with it have a nearly normal life expectancy. People with dwarfism can usually bear children, although there are additional risks to the mother and child depending upon the underlying condition.
