GRYPHON & MIDNIGHT MUSHRUMPS

Ah, the bad old days of 2-on-1 CDs. Not a terrible idea in theory, get two short-ish albums on a single disc. But the Transatlantic releases were infuriating. If the two albums were too long, they just removed a track to make them fit. The track list above is wrong: Crossing the Stiles was absent. To compound this, there's no indication in the sleeve notes that anything's missing. "Two albums on one CD", it says, giving the buyer no clue that anything was lacking. Almost as annoying as CDs sourced from vinyl, with no acknowledgment of the poor source. Both could make you suspect that record companies didn't care about their customers, only about their money. Surely not?
