Here’s the double album tracklisting in Spotify form:

Something that’s only touched upon in this thread is that amongst all of these reissues there’s a 2-LP configuration of Red Rose Speedway as a double album, as was originally intended. I picked it up on Friday and […]

When John & John from They Might Be Giants decided to expand from being just a duo, the guitarist, bass player and drummer they added were all called Dan. They were christened The Band Of Dans.

Van could be recognised by Mystic Healing alone.

That kind of money wouldn’t get you anything in Dublin either. The Detroit housing market, from the very little I know about it, has collapsed totally. The population was 1.8m in 1950, to just over 600,000 now. T […]

I’d take e=mc2 over any Clash song. And I prefer The Style Council to The Jam (although I’m basing that on the singles). Please note that I regularly propose Hot Space as being the best Queen album, so I can’t be trusted.

Jai Guru deva Om from across the universe was a mantra of Lennon’s though.

Whereas I love Wild Life, one of my favourite McCartney albums. Tomorrow is the alternate Yesterday – no artifice, nothing imagined, just Pure Macca.

I am very much looking forward to this. That is all.

That’s true. Scrap that list. Hot Space all the way.
