This is mostly copy/paste from a PM I sent earlier: I'm listening to my Traffic "On the Road" LP and I thought I'd look it up on PA to see what people thought of it. I noticed that the tracklisting and song(s) lengths were different: My LP : I bought it in Texas, so I guess it might be the North American/ American release... 1973 Island Records, (0598) SMAS-9336 Tracklisting: Side One, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (15:10), Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory (6:47) Side Two (Sometimes I Feel So) Uninspired (10:20), Light Up or Leave Me Alone (10:45) It also says "Recorded live on tour in Germany." on the backside, if that is any help. Does anybody know any more info on this? -------------

Mine, which is the European edition, has the following tracklist: 1 Glad/Freedom Riderv(21.00) 2. Tragic Magic (8.41) 3. Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired (10.35) 4. Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory (7.04) 5. Light Up or Leave Me Alone (10.49) 6 Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys (17.53) There is no indication of where it was recorded, though. |

I checked the album entry and found that it was me who made a last update...
Then I found this thread (by a search): http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37353&KW=traffic&PID=2487712#2487712 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37353&KW=traffic&PID=2487712#2487712 .
We'll need to check which release is the original one, and then to list both of them in order.
Thanks, Josh!

Hmmh - it was me who opened the bottle  at a time with no access to the admin pages ...I captured the tracklisting from my personal CD. Maybe there are different releases ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Rivertree" rel="nofollow">  |

The existing entry states currently two releases:
LP Island Records Ltd. ISLD-2 (1973)
CD Island 7900282 (1988) Is it possible that a CD release was expanded from four to six tracks?
Or was it an American release that got truncated?

Here's the answer to your question: http://wc02.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0bfixqy5ldje - http://wc02.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0bfixqy5ldje The American album only included four tracks out of six. |
