Correct, Doug. The CD-length-because-of-the-9th is also an Urban Legend. I'm sure Rob Schofield could chime in on it, since he worked for Philips during that time.

Burke's Connections series was really cool, but I figured that some of the so-called "connections" were rather thin threads and perhaps a little shaky on the historical research. Didn't make the show any less interesting, though, I really enjoyed it.
