^ I have the original version on vinyl and recorded this onto CD-R but have not yet upgraded to the CD version. I also have the Next Generation on CD. At present, I am undecided as to whether the Next Generation can be a substitute for the original.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Hi,

I was thinking that "Dance of the Lemmings" would be a better choice, but 2 sides of the 4 from YETI are definitely great, specially the title piece. Only Ax Gernrich was (at the time) really able to take some soloing to a level ... that was not possible to describe to create space junk and other far out things. I always thought that there was no greater compliment to Jim Hendrix than both those guitarists. But then not many seem to hear Toni McPhee, and think his compadre is better! (Crosscut Saw and Black Diamond are a must have!)

ok, my bad. 
I love Marbles, one of the best later day Marillion albums.

There’s a fantastic single album lurking somewhere in the mire that is the double album version….but it’s not the single album version that WAS released….

For me, INPO:

Subterranea
The Wall
War Of The Worlds
The Road Of Bones
The Human Equation
Into The Electric Castle
The Theory Of Everything
Blomljud
Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence
The Lamb
Genesis Revisited 2
Tommy (?)
Live After Death
Incantations

And many more that I’ve currently forgotten….


Unfortunately a one CD version of Marbles exists. 

Nice to see Iron Maiden's Live After death mentioned here, one of the best live albums ever for me. Thumbs Up
Same for Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Thumbs Up

Assuming live albums are excluded and away from the usual suspects is the masterpiece that is Soft Machine's 'Third'.  Wyatt was inspired to expand the band to a seven piece, partly by the debut double album by Chicago (which has a lot to delight prog fans). However. by the time 'Third' came out, the band had reverted back to a four piece.
