Re: challenge: what if the UW albums were released before CDs and cassettes?

You're probably right. I was talking in general, about the advantages of an 80 minute CD format, not UW. Other than a few tracks here and there that are mixed (and the RiverRun series, digital and <30 mins, so not really an issue in discussions of album sides), they usually have discrete breaks/fades to songs and can be sequenced however the time allows it.

However, i seem to recall from the Interview disc from the Beaucoup Fish era (the white label cd that came with the terrible Emerson dj mix!) that the boys struggled mightily with the BF track order (as well as the name).
