24KG: Deluxe or Standard Sequencing?

[Travis]

To be fair, I have not listened to the CD in the deluxe running order but, just by looking at it, I know I prefer the standard edition. “If You Were My Love” is a bit of a dud for me and it’s not one of the songs that I’ve put on my own 24 KG play list. I’ve always felt that if you kick off the album with a bang, like we have in “Starshine”, you should keep the momentum going, so, having “The Dealer” following works for me.

I too have made a 10 track 24KG play list and it goes as follows:

Starshine
The Dealer
Mabel Normand
Twisted
Hard Advice
24 Karat Gold
Watch Devil
All the Beautiful Worlds
Belle Fleur
She Loves Him Still

I’m just not in a “Lady” and “Blue Water” mood right now.

However, I must say that I quite like Brad975’s first 4 tracks:

Starshine
Belle Fleur
All the Beautiful Worlds
24 Karat Gold

Brad, I’m’ going to give this a try and revisit my own running order using your idea for the first 4 tracks.
