    Any mic you buy will be perfectly suited to your needs, until you use it long enough to learn that it's not.

    Not a double album, though Capitol Records reissued it as a double, packaged with Barrett....that pressing was technically two single LPs packaged together, like A Nice Pair.

    Right, two albums in one. Both in the same fold out sleeve as a double album.

    Soft Machine's Third
    Can's Tago Mago
    Hawkwind's Space Ritual
    Floyd's Ummagumma
    Gypsy s/t
    Stereolab's Transient Random Noise Bursts With Announcements
    Miles Davis's Bitches Brew, Live Evil, and Agharta
    Husker Du's Zen Arcade
    Minutemen's Double Nickels On The Dime
    Amon Duul II's Yeti and Tanz der Lemminge

    and of the ones they listed, Tusk is my favorite, but I was surprised to see it here in a poll clearly aimed at the casual listener.

    But it's hard to argue against the importance of The White Album for setting the standard.

    Best octuple album goes to Pearl Jam's Vitalogy as there are at least 8 copies in every used record bin.
