Subject:      List of longest CDs

  I knew that I had it somewhere! I managed to dig out a file that I
came across last summer that lists the longest CDs, and here it is. I've
already mailed Brendan to see if he has issued an update, so there's no
need for 1000s of Allmusicers to bombard him with such a request. I'll
post his reply. I know that this is absolute trivia of the highest degree,
but that's what life's all about - isn't it?

LIST OF THE LONGEST CDs IN THE WORLD #6 (9 June 1992)
=====================================================

This is a list of the longest known CDs in the world, posted quarterly.  The
qualifying time for this list is 75 minutes.  This limit may be raised in
future to keep the list to a reasonable size.

The playing time listed for each CD is the Total Playing Time as displayed by
the CD player when the disc is first inserted.  If I received contradictory
information about the TPT for the same disc (some machines may include the
inter-track spaces in the TPT), I used the lower time.

I have been forced to abbreviate many CD titles as I wanted to keep the
listing to a single line per entry, and within the standard 80 column format.
I hope there is enough information in each line to uniquely identify each disc.

If you have further information about any disc listed, or new entries, please
email me at:

        brendan@otc.otca.oz.au

In this list we have a new longest disk, coming in at 82:00.  However, I have
had only one report of this disk and no Catalog Number, hence I am treating it
as unconfirmed.  If I receive independent collaboration of this report, then
it will stay on the list, else it will be removed next time around!

Enjoy!

Key:
----
*/?  = Incomplete/Unconfirmed/Unknown details
(d+) = Longest disc in a multi CD set
(dn) = Disc n in a multi CD set
(d?) = A disc in a multi CD set, but I do not know which one
