Plus, the overarching story is so fun and romantic, simple yet effective, that it makes for a great mental movie to watch as the album goes on.
The first version of it that I heard was a CD with the bonus tracks The Bouncer, When Time Stood Still, and Julie Don't Live Here, and that's the version that's on my list. They fit the other songs perfectly, and I can't imagine the album without them. I've even come up with ways for them to fit in with the other songs storywise, 'cause I'm a weirdo.

Time and also Neapolitan's good word on
Solid Space, I listened to both of them (on YouTube) late last night, decided I loved both and then purchased them online. Boy, am I tired today -- but it was worth it. Thanks for the recommendations!
