Ah yes, I well recall some of those famously long sides. Still in my
collection are some notable examples, like some of the "live concert"
recordings from some of the Miles Davis groups. ("Live At Fillmore" comes
to mind.) Is it possible those sides went to 45 minutes each, *or more* ?
Don't recall now for sure, but it sure seemed like it. When I would take
some of those from LP to cassette, I recall cases where the 90 minute
cassette was not sufficient to do 2 sides. (I know what you're thinking,
but I could make cassettes that were *far* superior sounding vs. nearly all
the commercially released cassettes, back when the cassette medium was still
being sold -- perhaps because most of the commercial releases were made on
indifferent, high-speed equipment. The ones I made sounded great on a good
home or car stereo system.)
