What's the point of reading aloud the digits of the golden mean and recording the whole damn thing?

librivox.org /golden-mean-to-5000-digits-by-jerry-bonnell-and-robert-nemiroff/

LibriVox is otherwise pretty normal, but this has me puzzled. The CD (!) case insert says: "Read by Justin Barrett, braindouche, Cow Nose the 50 Pound Cat, Sibella Denton, Esther, and Andrew Lebrun. Total running time: 00:54:13." Seems insane to me. Why put the whole reading on a CD? Why 5000 digits? Why are there no chapters? What if they made a mistake? Did they double-check the result? Who needs any of that anyway?
