Yup, I bought the London Calling album on double heavyweight vinyl last month. Fantastic opening track, then just a load of forgettable filler after that!

There's a couple of really enjoyable tracks but I've never been a fan of listening to it altogether. Hateful and Rudie Can't Fail are easily two of my all time favourite Clash tracks though.

Already said this on the other thread but Yes' Tales works better for me by throwing out part 3 completely. OK this only works as a single CD as it would still be a side and a half of vinyl.

Yes's Tales could lose side 3 I agree & it took me a while to enjoy sides 1 & 2.

As a huge Long term Yes fan I've always thought problem with ToTO was that some of the tracks should be dropped. Rather that all of the tracks should be broken down to their constituent parts and then re-recorded with the 10-15 minutes of self indulgent filler that each track contains removed. Would have probably made a pretty decent 35-40 min album if you just used the actual moments of inspiration that are smeared thinly across the album.
