2 albums, 1 cd

what are teh best 2 albums to put on a single (80-minute) cd together

*i will try to listen to as many of these suggestions as possible.
BUT if i've heard one of the albums, they;re both disqualified

slint - spiderland
double dagger - 333

I never bought too many of these, but X's Los Angeles/Wild Gift 2-on-1 got a TON of play.

Oh, wait...we aren't talking commercial releases. I see.

mouse on mars - diskdusk EP
en vogue - born to sing

terry riley - a rainbow in curved air
madonna - justify my love maxi-single

bernard snowy does your discman not play mp3s

have you ever heard of artisanship, he is just trying to keep the old ways alive

"Our CDRs are handcrafted by experienced European elves, dipped in gold and encased in an emerald band."

regarding commercial releases, Big Star's #1 Record/Radio City and Beach Boys' Sunflower/Surf's Up are among my favorites

George Jones - Grand Tour/Alone Again is another great one

regarding answering the actual question, this is probably a boring response but Rubber Soul and Revolver flow together nicely

slint - spiderland
double dagger - 333

IMO Spiderland would fit perfectly with June of 44's "Engine Takes to Water."

Umm, if you delete some of the more experimental tracks on the Unrest side for the sake of the 80 minute time constraints I'd say:

Unrest - Imperial f.f.r.r.
Lilys - Eccsame the Photon Band

slint - spiderland
double dagger - 333

IMO Spiderland would fit perfectly with June of 44's "Engine Takes to Water."

ha! i had this on a cassette back in the day because someone gave it to me (i traded him for something else, can't remember what, maybe a tribute to the minutemen?)
do i know you?

i thought this would be about two albums that a label crammed onto one cd, a la #1 record/radio city

whoa, that rules. No I've never placed these on a tape together, but maybe now I will. haha

13 Fine Patina 3:05
14 The Night Is Upon Us 5:28
15 Cachaça 4:19

17 Comes With A Smile 2:26
18 Lunada Lando 2:14
19 Piker Sam 4:25
20 Flat Handed And On The Wing 13:02

I think that's actually 82 minutes... darn

nice retro thread

commercial releases are permissible; I deliberately made the thread title as broad as possible

some recent favs:
* Beggars' Banquet --> Soft Boys, Underwater Moonlight
* Jay Reatard, Blood Visions --> The Thermals, More Parts Per Million
* Les Savy Fav, 3/5 --> Sleater-Kinney, One Beat

(the last two LSF albums also fit on a single CD... and that's a damn good CD)

Hmm maybe my selections are not upbeat enough for you given those examples.

bernard given that list i rly think you should do spiderland + 333

gram parsons - gp / grievous angel

first commercial release i thought of

There used to be tons of cassettes like this -- Talking Heads 77/More Songs, and the Jam's All Mod Cons/Setting Sons spring to mind.

3 EPs, 1 CD:

Guided By Voices - Fast Japanese Spin Cycle
Polvo - Can I Ride
Versus - Let's Electrify!

Swirlies - What To Do About Them
Further - Grimes Golden

Voivod - Nothingface
BOC - Fire of Unknown Origin

Art Bears - Winter Songs
Richard & Linda - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight

Thin White Rope - Moonhead
Tom Verlaine - Flash Light

Gary Stewart - Out of Hand and Your Place or Mine

have there been commercially released CD's with 2 LPs from different artists? i feel like this has happened..

Yep:
