Wow, Breezy. I've never, ever heard anyone complain about getting an album that is too long. I could see thinking that movies, plays, hyperconservative reactionary overly capitalistic administrations might be going on too long; but it's easy enough to stop a CD and go back to it later, right?
Penquin Eggs, as wonderful as it was, always struck me as being short. On the other hand, the original version was an LP. The maximum length for LPs was around 40 minutes.
The increased capacity of CD prompted us to do at least 15 cuts per album. The latest album, BlackJack, has 21. This may be viewed as making 6 extra cuts to our fans than the 'standard" for just $3 more than our earlier albums.
