Yes, I know about those. I collect classical music too. But when was the last time you saw a US-based film music speciality label release a CD over 80 minutes? (And after you answer, why do you think that is?)
Is there anybody actually working at Varese at the moment?? I have emailed them 5 times over the past 4 days, to all available email addresses about a shortfall in my order and have not had a single reply. Not a great way to run a business.

I dunno the answer for sure. But most people in this forum seem to take it as gospel that the max is 80, even when they probably HAVE CDs over 80 minutes (from, say, Chandos or that Hitchock disc on Toccata). I remember Doug or Roger one time saying something about how above 80 minutes it couldn't be guaranteed to work or some weirdness, but I've ALSO seen a different CD producer (Robert von Bahr of the BIS label) say that they never once had a complaint over 80 minute CDs, AND that the 'guarantee' spot was actually at around 77:30.
