Damned!
I can't believe it, how they wheren't able to put a 22 minutes track on a side of a cassette in 1974!
??? I can't believe it too !! ;-) I wonder: is it really an "official" issue (I mean not a (home) copy made by somebody) ?

I think the more likely explanation was that they didn't want the B side of the tape to have a huge silent gap on it.
Mmmhh.... unlikely... (big nonsense) See the TEE cassette (the french one that I have, at least): side one is 23:40 , side two is 19:00 + a 4/5 min. 'bonus' silence... (a greater difference *side1/side2* than it can be found on Autobahn). The 'sound of silence' at the end of a tape has never been a problem, since we have rewind/f.fwd functions on players to skip it... :-D Maybe, perhaps, _ /o o\ Filtre4Pole \ ~ / I I - -
