I mean, back in the old days you had to get everything into 4.5 min 78rpm sides, so yeah, 4 sides total with no editing on each.
Very impressive rec btw, esp book 1 imo.

Da Petri programmed all 12 Pimp TEz like da Busoni (and Iturbi)
Back then it was like “wow, could you please fuck me so I can have kids with you?”
Now it’s like “cool, my neighbor also plays da 12 TEz after work” 
I dun remember where but I read he play alkans etudes complete once too…

And even the generation after. My teacher made an hour long
