Given the release time, I think the Laserdisc Wikipedia entry has the solution: As Pioneer introduced digital audio to LaserDisc in 1985, it further refined the CAA format. CAA55 was introduced in 1985 with a total playback capacity per side of 55 minutes 5 seconds, reducing the video capacity to resolve bandwidth issues with the inclusion of digital audio.At 114min. run-time, with extra logos and smart side-breaks, I think it couldn't fit on a single disc at that time. Goonies, The (1985) [11474 LV] had Analog audio only. Goonies, The (1985) [10JL-11474] added Digital Audio. Julien

Goonies, The (1985) [10JL-11474]Very odd, I didn't think this would have fallen into that situation. I was looking at my discs and any of the older ones that are longer in length and single discs are from 1987.

That's also how I finally understood why some early 90's LDs were Analog audio when Digital Audio was available for years. Ex: Whitesnake: Live! (1983) [TOLW-3061]55 minutes. Either they didn't want to make a new master and used the 80's initial release one. Or the original sound master was analog only. Or adding the digital audio tracks might have pushed the LD over 2 sides for a few minutes. Didn't make sense. Other similar release: Howard Jones: Like to Get to Know You Well (1983) [35P6-9012] (58min.) Julien
