5. Piggies
6. Sexie Sadie
7. Happiness is a Warm Gun
Side 2
1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
2. Dear Prudence
3. Martha My Dear
4. Blackbird
5. Honey Pie
6. Julia
7. Good Night

Didn't we do this here before? Maybe it was elsewhere (record room?) or maybe it was just forever ago. I know I've got a single-album track list I posted somewhere. I'll dig around.
Also let it be said I'm almost always a fan of single albums over doubles.

I'd prefer to leave it as it is, with all its flaws and imperfections, because I love it for that very same reason - it's not perfect, it's sketchy, rough, unfinished, a bit of a hodge podge affair.
Feel the same about Big Star's "Third/Sister Lovers". Its strength is its weakness, its beauty its crudeness and vice versa.
I don't think I'd even succeed in trimming it down to a single LP version... Because it would be hard to pick the 10-12 cuts I like the most.
The album as it is makes me enjoy it so much. If I want to listen to a short, pop masterpiece created by the Beatles I'll play either "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver".

This reminds me of what I did with Tommy:
Side One:
1. Overture
2. Amazing Journey
3. Sparks
4. The Hawker
5. Cousin Kevin
6. The Acid Queen
Side Two:
1. Pinball Wizard
2. Go To The Mirror
3. Tommy Can You Hear Me
4. Smash The Mirror
5. Sensation
6. I'm Free
7. We're Not Gonna Take It
Of course, the CD rerelease has room for a bonus track, the awesome "Underture". :=)
Ovi:
Maybe a fun exercise, but cutting it in half misses the point of the album in my opinion.
