@JP yes but in golden age of vinyl many of the artists used the natural breaks as two separate sequences of music. Of course I was fond of the gatefolds too! The medium was perfect for the art too, I couldn't appreciate something like Tangerine Dreams covers like Phaedra, Rubycon, Ricochet on CD size. Or even the Carpenters, ABBA album covers which were great
  11:41am
P-90:

@Joe McG and Brendan: agreed about growing up with LPs; and it wasn't just that 40 mins or so (with a kind of "intermission" built in by having to stop and turn from side one to two) became a conditioned way of thinking of a good "standard" format for listening, it was that artists also became conditioned to conceiving and planning their musical projects for that template. And also, in those days when a bazillion visual images and texts weren't ubiquitously available digitally, the LP-size album cover was a good canvas for images and info that were an integral (and tactile) part of the package.

The book about the making of "Purple Rain" the movie is very interesting, btw, if you haven't read it.

FWIW, as much as I like "The Clash" I think Sandanista! is a really tedious and indulgent turd of an album...

I just want to say that I am really appreciating this atypical Prince music being played. It really highlights him as a human being and not so much the sensation.
