Subject: RE: BS: How many songs fit on a standard CD
Doc Watson's "Live on Stage" came out about 1971 and was on two LP records.

When the CD version was released in the 1990s, there was one CD with 71 minutes and 30 seconds. That was considered the maximum at the time and required that two (I believe) songs be left out.
