at the expense of a 10-minute harmonica solo being cut out of Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - not that I like that song much but c'mon keep the integrity of the album

there's a 3 disc reissue with Pete's stripped down demos of it - you might like that more if you think the Great Quad is bombastic and overblown

I have both the original LP version of Blonde on Blonde and the single CD release. I had no idea there was a part cut out of "Sad Eyed". The track time on the CD is 11:19. How long is the song on the LP; it takes up the entire forth side of the release, but I've never timed it.

While I was checking out the Bob Dylan thread I realized I left off a double album off of my list....definitely one of my favorites!

Bob Dylan and The Band / Before The Flood `74

GNR - Use Your Illusion I & II (just debated on That Metal Show, as to which is better).

I can't think of another I particularly like. I really only like music from the last few decades, and as we know, since then double albums of original material have been rare.

Can - Tago Mago
Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
PIL - Metal Box
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists...
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
Soft Machine - Third
The Beatles - White Album
Amon Duul II - Yeti
Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
Swans - Children of God
Klaus Schulze - Cyborg
XTC - English Settlement
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II
Tangerine Dream - Zeit
Future Sound of London - Lifeforms
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

There are more, but these spring to mind.

The Beatles - The Beatles
Mothers of Invention - Freak Out!
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
The Clash - London Calling
Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds
The Who - Tommy

Special shout outs for Blonde on Blonde and...Marvin Gaye's Here My Dear? Not sure if I know them well enough to be favorites, though.

While on the topic of double albums, you know what's my biggest pet peeve EVER? Automatic sequencing on vinyl records. You know, where Side 1 and Side 4 are put together and Sides 2 and 3 are on the second record? So you can't just flip the record over and keep going? Yeah. I have nightmares about that.

I don't know which albums are supposed to be "Double" albums as pretty much every one mentioned is now available in a single CD.

Rate every album mentioned that I have listened to though.
