Hi,
Now you are asking for it! (almost in the order I got them and listened to them)
- Yes - Close To The Edge
- Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
- Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
- Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda Da Vida
- Chicago - Beginnings (not sure that was the title of it)
- Klaus Schulze ... not even gonna try to list it!
- Cosmic Couriers - Cosmic Joy/Cosmic Joke
- Ash Ra Tempel - 1st
- Ash Ra Tempel - Join Inn
- Ash Ra Tempel - New Age of Earth - Side 2
- Can - Tago Mago (Augmn and the other long piece)
- Tangerine Dream - Too many to list
- Yes - Tales of Topographic Oceans (4 sides of it too!)
- Pink Floyd - Echoes
- Mike Oldfield - too many to list
- Grobbschnitt - Solar Music Suite
- Magma - Too many to list
- Amon Duul 2 - Yeti
- Amon Duul 2 - Dance of the Lemmings (Side 3 had the MM Memorial Sdtk improv)
- Amon Duul 2 - Phallus Dei
- Can - Future Days - Bel Air
- Soft Machine - Didn't T"Third" have 4 full sides? and some of the other albums also?
- Popol Vuh - Several albums, specially the early ones
- Fripp and Eno - No Pussyfooting
- Golden Earring - Eight Miles High (1st album)
- Focus - Moving Waves - Eruption
- Focus 3 - Several cuts (double LP at the time)
- Genesis - Supper's Ready
- Ange - Caricatures
- Ange - Ego et Deus
- Nektar - Journey to the Center of the Eye
- Nektar - Remember the Future
- Nektar A Tab in the Ocean
- Alan Stivell - Symphonie Celtique (4 sides too!)
- Aphrodite's Child - 666 - Last Side of the 2nd lp
- Le Orme - Felona e Serona
- Capability Brown - Voice - Circumstances Past Present and Future
- Byzantium - 2nd album - Side 2
- Roy Harper - Not sure if it is Stormcock or which album that has a whole side. White covered album I think.
- Darryl Way/Francis Monkman - Symphony for Violin
- Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert (2 LP's - 4 full sides too!)(And I'm told this is now on DVD!!!!! -- guess what I gotta get!)
If you take Yes, Genesis, Iron Butterfly, Jethro Tull and Golden Earring off this list, you have an average line up for Space Pirate Radio ... so you can see how extensive and non compromising it was when it came to the commercial extent of the work. This is something that is not appreciated today and worked with in all the progressive music shows out there. Unlike most shows, this one played long cuts and went crazy with them all and then some. The others would normally get played on the more "regular" shows that Guy did on Friday and Saturday nights, for example.
Mind you I had these and still have some of these LP's. Will update as I remember more things in here.
(Added later)
Todd Rundgren - Wizard Side of the album (can't play that in pieces ... the segways stink if you try to break it up!)
Todd Rundgren - The Icon

Pete Sinfield came up with the title Karn Evil 9 which was actually derived from the word carnival.

Thanks for your reply,that's info I did not know,but my real question was-why did they spell it Karn EVAL 9 with an A in the word eviL when it 1st came out and then over time change it to the traditional way to spell EVIL with an I in it..My info on this is 100% accurate,I'll never forget my favorite album when I bought it ,also buying the cassette of it also.

I think my original reply probably contains the answer. They wanted to emphasis the connection to the word Carnival but then probably decided (or the record company perhaps decided) that it was a bit confusing.I am guessing a bit though. I've been on ELP message boards for some years and don't remember this ever being discussed tbh.

I assumed that Suppers Ready took up a whole side at 22 minutes?
One on my list that shouldn't be there is Aphrodites Child 'All The Seats Were Occupied' because there was another song called 'Break' on the same side. But someone earlier posted it on their list so I just went along with it!

That has to be the answer I would think.Even though you don't know absolutely,it makes so much sense that I think the probability is so high as to be very satisfied with your answer.Thank You.
