No. 2 CDs only. Even short 45 minute albums these days are being issued on 2 lps because of this whole bogus 'loudness war' and record companies attempting to con hipsters into thinking that having 2 songs on a side of vinyl means less compression and better sound quality.
So, no, an album which nowadays spans 2 CDs.

But yes, issuing a 33 with the contents of a 45 on each side is retarded.

God damn fucking vinyl, I hate that shit other than for historical interest like cylinders and 8-tracks
CDs are vastly superior in so many ways, other than the art is small, but then where the fuck am I going to store thousands of LP sized artworks

If I'm going to pay money at all, I'm paying for a physical object with a reasonable level of preservation ability. So far, pressed CDs do that more so than other options. I don't want to pay for files who's archiving is a little dodgy. I'll gladly listen on youtube and whatever else like a radio, and save mp3 files from time to time (I'd say FLACs if they were the common thing), but I wouldn't pay more than a nickel per tune if I had to pay for that shit.

I like listening to the nuances of live performances

I will disregard any further opinions on pink floyd null and void. Thanks.

I don't think I have ever listened to a double album.

So do I, which is why I don't like Floyd live albums. They are just note-for-note reproductions (with the occasional God-awful guitar improvisation thrown in), but with weaker production. I say again, there is no reason to listen to Pulse if you already have The Division Bell and Dark Side of the Moon.

Like a Prayer is one of my favourite Madonna songs along with Material Girl. If I have a mental breakdown I will be playing Material Girl in the background.

> Ok, as far as "live" i highly recommend the demo cd from The Wall's immersion box set.
Is There Anybody Out There? is better, but it's still pretty much a note for note rendition of the album except for the addition of 2 tracks (The Last Few Bricks and What Shall We Do Now?) and some amusing Roger Waters ranting.
