understand it. Why didn't they put the album on one cd and then the other stuff on another one? |
When the
Uncle Meat CDs were first produced, the standard CD couldn't fit the whole of the album which is just over 75 minutes. I think CDs started out at 70
minutes maximum and now they can fit 80 minutes. I don't know if this is what influenced Zappa's decision to do what he did instead of just putting
two vinyl sides per CD or something similar.
I've burnt myself a single disc Uncle Meat as well. It's great to be able to play the whole album through from one CD. |
That makes a lot of sense. I actually didn't like Uncle Meat until I listened to the original album edited from the Ryko release. I don't think i even
knew at the time that it WAS originally different.

yes, I agree with polyd. That is how it was. I remember being surprised that Freak Out!, Exile On Main Street, Blonde On Blonde and some other
famous double records that fit on one cd:meaning they were less than 72 minutes long. But The Beatles White Album was indeed needed to be put on 2
cd's at 90 minutes long.
Then, it was only in the late '90's that I began to notice that cd's were getting longer and then were advertised as being 80 minutes long.
