"Proclamation" by Douglas Ye (Doyen DOY CD 055, released in 1996) is sometimes said to be the longest CD ever recorded. It's officially 80:17, but my CD player (a 1980's De non which has no trouble playing the full CD) says 80:20. "Proclamation" is a bass Trombone recital with 17 tracks of typical recital material, varied enough to keep it interesting despite the length. Doug is one of the world's leading bass trombonists, he's accompanied by the Black Dike Mills Band, Doyen are a well known UK label specialising in brass recordings. If this is indeed the longest CD ever recorded it shows no signs of being a conscious or contrived attempt to push the envelope.
NOT ANYMORE As of May of 2012 there is a recording of the four movement version of Bruckner's symphony #9 under Simon Rattle with a total timing on one CD of 82:10

Longest 7" single ever recorded? Well... in 1987, Columbia Records released Bruce Springsteen's "Fire" as a 7" single from the 5-LP box set "Live/1975-85" and its Beside was "Incident on 57th Street". Get this - "Incident" ran at 10:03, taking up the entire Beside, and yes, it is mastered at 45 rpm. Must have been a pain in the arse for Columbia to cut a Beside of that length on a 7"er at 45 RPM and to have it play back with no problem!
First CD ever made was ABBA's "The Visitors" in 1982, pressed in Germany
