Why is it 8 LP? Surely it’s 7????

I believe “Tusk” and “Live” are two LPs each.

Yes. Of course, the original Tusk CD had an edit of Sara(god forbid, the wrath of $tevie), which allowed it to fit on one CD.

The first Tusk I bought was the CD. When I realized Sara was cut, I was madder than WB's Taz. :mad:

You'd have rather paid $10 more(back then) for a double disc set?

Oh yes, thanks. I didn’t factor in Live as a double disc.

I don't know if both were released simultaneously, but it was the only one I found. Few years later I found the double CD and got it immediately.

I hate also when GH albums cut the songs. It took me a time to find the complete version of Queen-Bowie's Under Pressure. The only one I think it's justified is Donna's Love to Love You Baby, the album version is 16:49 (I got it anyway :) )

She was a younger, more accepting Stevie back then and understood why it was necessary!:]

All the bitterness came later, unfortunately!

I miss the younger Stevie. Where did she go?:shrug:

Necessary for commercial reasons, I understand it. Business are business after all. But since I live the Sara song, instead of cutting it (or actually any other song), I would have eliminated an entire other one. I know that's not the best for artistic reasons, and don't know if there would be legal issues, but I'd do it for the sake of Sara. :)

Now what song would I discard? I guess The Ledge or Save Me a Place. Lindsey has almost 50% of the songs in Tusk, it would fair, though I'd guess his reaction. :lol:

His songs are HALF AS LONG as her bloated, overweight songs.

All that success went to her head. And then she surrounded herself with yes people, and the end of nice $tevie was in the works.

And yet she won by far the Tusk poll of favorite songs by singer.

I couldn't give two f*cks about popularity contests. I also think Lindsey has the most interesting songs on Tusk.
