--- Quote from: Dark Flame ---You know, it's definitaly massively high, but you know, I'm partial to Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen, and Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles (though the second one is in large part thanks to it's absolutely amazing placement after I Want You (She's So Heavy))

Here Comes the sun is NOT after She’s So Heavy, it’s on the other side. CD’s fucking kill albums like this. The album was meant to be arranged as two distinctive sides and if you listen to the LP you can tell; that’s the way it was arranged, along with almost every other good album from the era. That’s one of the biggest problems I have with CD’s, you don’t get the same listening experience because it’s all continuous. Of course, modern albums (mostly) are made for CD’s and don’t take this into account, and that’s just fine. The standard musical medium these days is CD’s and people take this into account, but when vinyl ruled true artists knew that people would have a pause between sides and arranged albums accordingly, making the listening more exciting and interactive.

Well, yeah, I do know that, since I own Abbey Road on vinyl as well, but since the first time I heard the album was on CD, I've always associated the song with coming right after the end of I Wan't You (She's So Heavy), and I doubt I'll ever be able not to.
I don't necessarily agree with the fact that they aren't as exciting/interactive now though, I think that all depends on how the artist arranges it. I'd say there's equal opprotunity for both to be just as exciting as the other, though albums designed in the vinyl age tend to be better on the vinyl. That's my experience anyways, I don't have quite enough vinyl that I've listened to in order to back that up properly.

Well no, I’m not saying that they can’t do that with CD’s. I’m just saying that for an album like Abbey Road, they didn’t even know what a CD was when it was recorded, so they arranged it with two distinct sides in mind. That’s all.
