I just pre-ordered the 3 disc version.  I don't have the time and don't want to listen to 7 or 9 records taken from one album.  9 bucks for shipping from the Tom Petty site, but I'd rather give my money to his heirs than to Amazon.

+1 on John Mayall, 'Turning Point'  I just got a copy of that in NM/M- condition because the one I had (since high-school) was unplayable.  Awesome music, all without a drummer.  I saw John Mayall twice.  The first time was in Anaheim, CA. and was the very concert tour that  made Turning Point. The Anaheim show was about two months after the Turning Point recording, which was done on the East Coast.  Thought I'd share that story.  By the way, the lead act for that show was Spirit and the opening act was Mark-Almond (John Mark and Johnny Almond were two musicians of the John Mayall band and played on that set as well).  What memories! 
Great story Mammoth and thank you.
Yes quite an astounding set considering no drums.

Now....
Finally getting around to playing my $2 copy of The White Album.(Beatles).
Bloody Hell it's very very good!!
Found time to listen to Norah Jones, Day Breaks, double LP

1st disc, Studio; 2nd LP live small Loretto theater NYC, 4 years ago. (I’ve never been there, but looks like a terrific size. I’d try balcony, front and center

As they said, return to her roots, piano based low key jazz, her beautiful voice and unique touch on the keys.

I definitely preferred the Live disc, very respectful crowd, but, I realized, it was too bunched up, I widened my toe-in, that gave a very nice distinction of separate instruments and their locations, like a small stage.

I’m going to go back to the 1st studio LP, see how things change with wider toe-in.

Previously, a different LP, I needed to adjust them ’in’ for a recording that was un-naturally wide.

Speakers on wheels to the rescue, combined with remote balance, can make big differences.

I often adjust my single listening default toe-in for a wider center when I have a friend over for a listening session, if 3 people, I sit just behind them, centered.

I’m gonna play with toe-in when the center is correct, but all bunched up.

You gotta avoid creating the world’s widest piano, that sucks.
