One that hasn't been mentioned yet: Focus 3

GYBE! - Lift Your...

GG - Playing The Fool

Floyd - Umma Gumma

The Softs - Third

 

Generally though, double albums tend to be pushing it. TFK's Unfold The Future springs to mind. There was a mind-blowing single disc in there somewhere, we got a flabby double one instead.

Moonflower - Santana-

Not a great fan of the album,but the Live version of EUROPA is in my top 20 favourite tracks of all time!

I love the way that Carlos sounds like a horn section on part of this glorious instrumental track.
