   That could work. I thought about this not too long ago.

Another possibility could be to have several band compositions (the two Works 1 songs plus "So Far to Fall") spread across the album then one solo piece for each member, like Yes's "Fragile".

Side A
Fanfare for the Common Man
Any of Keith Emerson's solo works
C'est La Vie or Closer to Believing
Brain Salad Surgery or When the Apple Blossoms Bloom

Side B
So Far to Fall
The Enemy God or LA Nights
Pirates

	^ I like So Far To Fall although it might fall into the 'goofy' territory slightly (''She did a thing to my thing like it's never been done before''). Although only a cover I also like Show Me The Way To Go Home. ELP in relaxed bar room mode.

	On my digital playlist of BBS (the album) I have BSS (the track) slotted in between 'Benny the Bouncer' and 'Karn Evil 9' which for me makes for a nice enhanced version of the album.. maybe where it was originally intended to be, but was ultimately dropped (possibly) due to the constraints of what you can fit on two sides of a slab of vinyl.
