Best double studio vinyl?


The 60's and 70's produced so many memorable studio double albums. One of my favorites is Quadrophenia by The Who.

All nominees are winners.

Chicago Transit Authority is a bass demo  LP . The  percussion breaks in  "Beginnings" and "I'm a Man" will also show off a good system.

D&D Layla wins for awful sound quality. Thankfully, the music makes up for it.

My vote for Prog- Yes" Tales from Topographic Oceans " 

Not REALLY a double album, but the 1st 2 Pink Floyd albums were re released as a double set-"The Piper at gates dawn" & "Saucer full of secrets" in 1973. It's the only realistic way to find those 2 albums unmolested at a reasonable price. Decent SQ too.

This has to be the most "Punk" song ever written before "Punk"?

Quadrophenia is my fave Who album.

 

@dekay - SPOT ON! For me it's the Allman Brothers double albums, second place is the Dead's triple Europe '72 album.

The other choices here are not bad either...

- Blonde On Blonde

- Self Portrait

- All Things Must Pass (throw away the 3rd LP of jams ;-) .

Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland! Checkout "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", "1983, Moon Turn the Tides Gently Away", "All Along the Watchtower" ...

a related query would be how much better most of these albums would be if pared down to one record. "layla" for instance, could easily lose "key to the highway,"  "thorn tree" and maybe "have you ever loved a woman" and been just about perfect. while "the white album" should have axed the ringo song, obla di and most of side four. however, i'd be hard pressed to excise a sngle track from "blonde on blonde," "something/anything" or "london calling."

An album I just found in Mint condition for $6.99:

- Any Day Now by Joan Baez. Two LP's of Dylan songs, wonderful versions by Joannie, a new favorite of mine. Musical accompaniment by the best musicians in Nashville at the time of the recordings: Grady Martin, Kenny Buttrey (a fantastic drummer, heard on Neil Young's Harvest album and many Dylan recordings), Norman Putman, Junior Huskey, Hargus Robbins, Pete Drake, Buddy Spicher, Harold Bradley, Jerry Reed, Jerry Kennedy, Steve Stills (yeah, him), David Briggs (there's that Neil Young connection again), Fred Carter, and Johnny Gimble. Wow, whatta band!
