Same with "Angel" following "Sisters of the Moon." But when carved up into little LP-side chunks, it definitely works.

These are excellent points.. I think in lots of cases LPs didn't translate terribly well to the continually playing format on CDs. This is particularly an issue here with it being a double LP. For people of my generation, and certainly younger who become acquainted with older albums on CD, this is bound to be an issue.
