medjuck Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I just noticed that the new re-issue of "Ellington Uptown" has a playing time of just under 80 minutes. I think that that's the most of any cd I own. Anyone know of one that's longer? Quote

I think 80 minutes is about the absolute limit for a standard audio cd, so I don't think anything beats that by much. --eric Quote
Jim R Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Blindfold Test #3 was something like 79:58, and over 700 MB (somebody explain that to me, BTW). I think I should be in the Guiness book. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 It's a double-disc, and BOTH discs are about 5-seconds shy of 80-minutes each!!! Damn!!! Quote

Claude Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 (edited) I've once seen a CD that had more than 81 minutes. But that's above the CD specification, and not all players can play it to the end. I did some googling, and found this: Longest CD On the same page there is also alist of the best 150 jazz records of all time ... Edited February 26, 2004 by Claude Quote

I did some googling, and found this: Longest CD On the same page there is also alist of the best 150 jazz records of all time ... Well, I see my Marsh cd (at 78:14) ties for 97th place. I also see my lp version of "People In Sorrow" makes the list of 150. Why am I broke? Quote

Jazzmoose Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 My wife has a Julio Iglesias (?) CD that I swear is two and a half hours of pure hell. But maybe I overestimate... Quote

brownie Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Disc 3 of Stan Getz East of the Sun The West Coast Sessions on Verve is a few seconds short of 80 minutes! Quote

Parkertown Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 One of the discs on Keith Jarrett's "Rarum: Selected Recordings" is exactly 80:00 mins long. Making a copy was tricky, but successful after it warned me about overburning... Anyone ever try the 99 minute cdrs? My recorder wouldn't recognize them as anything more than 80 minutes. Quote
