8:15 12:15 (1969) is the tenth album by Bill Cosby. It was his first double-disc album. It was also his first record not produced strictly under the Warner Bros. Records label, but Tetragrammaton Records (which was co-owned by Cosby at the time) instead.
It was recorded live at Harrah's Lake Tahoe, Nevada. As implied by the title, the album is made of recordings from two shows. The 8:15 show was more family-oriented material and the 12:15 contained more adult humor.
Much of the record contains material already previously recorded on earlier albums and, indeed, some material performed on the first disc is also performed on the second disc.
There are two versions of the album, one contains a few lines near the end of the 12:15 disc pertaining to his wife's pregnancy and alludes to a failed diaphragm, referring to it as "the midnight tramboline [trampoline]"). This last portion of the routine is edited out in some copies of the LP.
