Eat a peach! SON OF A B!TCH.

I guess I've never thought of that as a double album but when you have a 33 minute Mountain Jam as one of the tracks it should have been a given.

The River

By the way, compilation albums, live or studio, shouldn't even count as they are basically greatest hits albums.

LOLGFY with your technicalities

Also

SRV

No particular order. Just some of the ones I own off the top of my head.

Notrorius B.I.G - Life After Death
Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
2Pac - All Eyes on Me

For me, even though I idolize him, the making of that POS was a complete sellout buy Pete Townshend. There is a part of me which never forgave him.

I'd be angry too if I ever sat through that abomination in a movie theater.

No such back story for me, though. I got both albums at roughly the same time, in the mid-1980's, and listened to them both straight through. Obviously the Oliver Reed, Ann Margret and (ugh) Jack Nicholson performances are complete jokes and never should have been recorded. But there is a surprising number of tracks (especially the three I mentioned) that are, at least to these ears, better in every way than the original studio versions.

Someone's looking to get smacked with a night stick.

+1

However; I remember being much more "floored" by those tunes at the theater.

I just sat through "My Fair Lady"...my opinion is you should forgive Ken Russell. It must have been hell trying to make musicals in Hollywood. Musicals are a special breed of Hell; just like Adam Sandler movies.

That was Oliver Reed, btw.

Why did I write Oliver Stone? That's weird.

I imagine a call to your State's Attorney general was placed?

No doubt, the actions of the director were actionable.
