Reply to ""The River" LP vs. CD"

My wife and I knew how compatible we were when we found out we played "Till There Was You" on Meet the Beatles at 78.

As for Bruce albums in vinyl, listen to Live 75-85 in the vinyl version. The album becomes a near masterpiece thematically with each side telling a story that fits into the larger story of the album. Except for the disastrous editing of Backstreets and the losing of the storyline on sides 8 and 9 with the commercial compromise of the BITUSA hits, it would have been. If he'd combined sides 8 and 9 (War, Cover Me, Hometown, Promised Land) and instead made side 2 end with Incident and new side 3 with a complete Backstreets and one other song (there are several I can think of would have fit here), Live would have been a masterpiece.
