The message from Frank Swarbrick rises higher:
 KN> With selective editing one could put together a really
 KN> killer compilation by chosing cuts from the first few
 KN> BS&T albums, IMO. On the other hand, everything on
 KN> _Chicago Transit Authority_ works. In fact, the singles
 KN> sound a lot better in the context of that album than they
 KN> do on their own, IMO. For example, "Does Anybody Know
 KN> What Time it Is?" really means something when it comes
 KN> after the really heavy section which precedes it. But
 KN> isolatied on a single it sounds fluffier. _CTA_ really
 KN> holds together as one long fully realised conception. Too
 KN> bad he didn't realise it was loaded.
 FS> Speaking of Chicago, do you know what album that "Only The Beginning"
 FS> (I think that's the title) is on?  I was channel flipping when I heard
 FS> it playing on, of all places, the Democratic National Convention.
 FS> Anyway, I sat there a while and watched just to listen to that song...
 FS> As regards to CTA, I have heard the whole thing once or twice, but not
 FS> in ages.
Apparently not since "Beginnings" is from *that* album. :-)
 FS> Is the song "Free Form Guitar" as bad as I remember?  Yikes!
Yeah, I skip that one.
 FS> The rest of the album is good, in any case...  I'll have to buy it
 FS> someday.  Does anyone know if the one disk set has any songs edited
 FS> out?
Nope, it's all there.
