It was the sequence that placed "Dear Doctor" in exactly the right slot. <br />Yet I mostly voted for SF when it came to a song by song comparison.<br />By then hard drugs were Keith's muse, and the darkness shows through in the world weariness at it's heart. <br /><br />In the late '70's I read in Stereo Review, that a record begins to degrade on it's 8th play. Often I recorded an album directly to cassette the first time played.<br />I grew up in a world of mix tapes, so there are many songs on famous records I only heard once or twice before I skipped them forever. buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-43255660561487547062016-06-23T20:17:31.105-07:002016-06-23T20:17:31.105-07:00I love both of these albums, and even though I tho...I love both of these albums, and even though I thought I would be able to choose one track over another, I never could, so I never did.

But then, ...I second the "Tommy" comment. But then, I've never been heavily into the Who for whatever reason. Admire, respect, just not passionate. <br /><br />But I get "Astral Weeks." Mind you, I play "Moondance" a lot more because it's an easier, less demanding (?) album? Astral Weeks demands late night contemplation while "Moondance" can be played any hour of the day with a blithe, devil may care attitude. You know, I can toss on "Blue Train" anytime whereas A Love Supreme is not to be trifled with (and not to have its pleasure and beauty dimmed by overplaying -- you can overplay some great albums or they're just so heavy you don't want to; I love the movie "Shoah" but you know, I'm gonna watch Casablanca more often.)<br /><br />And I never skip tracks. I'm big on albums (never really created mix tapes) and that's what I listen to almost exclusively. And most boxed sets are vastly inferior as listening experiences: I consider them reference works, libraries, not something to actually consume in order. Exception proving the rule: Barbra Streisand's boxed set, which tells a full biographical story, thanks to lots of audio clips etc. <br /><br />Thanks Sal!Michael Giltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921048823380535339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-62417914284373057002016-06-23T07:41:40.851-07:002016-06-23T07:41:40.851-07:00Sorry Sal.
