| Due to the limitations of vinyl, you should not try to fit more than approx. 25 minutes of music on each side of a record. You could, but that would most likely result in a loss of (sound) quality (and I'm looking sternly at the Bat II LP while I'm saying that). Side one of BFG clocks in at 23m14, and side two at 27.25, which is pushing it. Putting The Storm and Rock and Roll Dreams would have been physically possible, but would most likely have had a negative effect on how the record sounds. My CD copy has the same track listing as your UK one, and it also has also all signs as being a "as cheap as possible" release: minimal credits, no liner notes, two page booklet. While slapping both tracks to the end would have made some sort of sense, perhaps the person who is responsible for this version though "one on the end of side A, the other at the end of side B, done". I wouldn't be surprised if it's the result of complete indifference. The epilogue of 'Left in the Dark' is missing too. When I ripped the CD to my hard drive, I've re-established the original order. > I've just been reading up on BFG on www.jimsteinman.com > and other websites.
