The other thing that turned my head was the concept of a normal CD with 5.1 on it.

70 minutes is the point at which you have to start worrying about compression issues.

The longest records can be compressed down to a little over 80 minutes (WWE Anthology currently holds the record, formerly held by Mission of Burma). Problem is, you start to suffer some fidelity issues.

well, Dark Side of the Moon and Tommy are not short by any means, so odds are pretty good that the extra channels aren't at some normal compression rate.

This leaves me to wonder: how the FUCK do they compress it into 5 track audio and still have it playable on a CD player?
