[net.audio] CD shortchange flame

oneill@lll-crg.ARPA (Neil J. O'Neill) (03/17/85)

I just got the Keith Jarrett/The Koln Concert CD which contains the
following bogosity on the outer package.

	Because of time limitations of the format, the encore
	on side four from the original album The Koln Concert
	does not appear on this Compact Disc.

The CD runs 59:09.  The encore they left out runs 6:59 (according to
the album notes on the CD).  My calculations show, had they left in the
missing piece, the full album would run 66:08.  I have been led to believe
that a CD can hold 72~74 minutes of material.  Considering this, I am at a
lost to understand what "restrictions" prevented them from putting 
everything on the CD.  (By the way, the album is very, very good, which
makes the omission all the more irritating ).
