choo-choo-charlie Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 P.s: I know this has probably been debated to death but....'Being There' could be improved by shortening it by three or four tracks. Personally, I'm religating 'KingPin', 'I Got You' and 'Why Would You...' onto an EP or B-Sides! (ducks to avoid being hit by rotton tomatoes!!). I won't sling any tomatoes at you. But I will disagree about "I Got You." I see and hear this as an inseparable companion piece to "Red-Eyed and Blue." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 just another reason vinyl is/was perfect. It does force the artist to make some decisions and i can say that in my record collection, the albums I hold up as the gold standard are all in the 9-12 (35-45 min) song range that would fit on one slab of vinyl. More is not better with the majority of bands in my opinion. ditto Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Sandanista always comes to mind for big sprawling albums but I would not edit it at all. There was no such thing as too much Clash with that line up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
