Always keep in mind that every record executive knows (God I hope) that
you can squeeze almost 82 minutes of music on to an audio CD.  At least
that's the very longest one I've ever encountered (and I check; every day).
Therefore a 2CD set 20 mm/60mm is a bloody disgrace and clearly gouging the
consumer.  But who's suprised?
