Tracks 7-10 are bonus tracks. I've updated the entry of the album (the single one).
 
Thanks, Josh!

I'd say if they are bonus tracks, they would not form the core of a review. My opinion is  the album should be reviewed in its original form, the way the band intended, with commentary on any bonus tracks being left to the end of the review.
 
I'm afraid I don't know about this album though, I suppose it could have been a double LP.

I bought the In Spite of Harry's Toenail/Lady Lake duo from Gnidrolog. I was about to go review it today, and I realized something:

Track Listings

1. Long Live Man Dead (9:43)
2. Peter (3:26)
3. Snails (7:14)
4. Time And Space (7:30)
5. Who Spoke (2:22)
6. In Spite Of Harry's Toenail (9:23)
7. Smokescreen (6:34)
8. Saga Of Smith And Smythe (8:29)
9. My Room (6:32)
10. Saga Of Smith And Smythe (7:20)

Total Time: 68:43

The version of In Spite of Harry's Toenail that comes with the duo has this for songs:

Track Listings

1. Long Live Man Dead (9:44)
2. Peter (3:28)
3. Snails (7:15)
4. Time And Space (7:34)
5. Who Spoke (2:23)
6. In Spite Of Harry's Toe-nail (9:27)

Total Time: 39:51

My question to you is simple: are tracks 7-10 on Harry's Toenail bonus tracks? If so, that should be made very clear on the page. I think it's safe to say that 68 minutes is really long for a vynil album from 1972.

SUB-THREAD: Do you think it acceptable for a reviewer to review an album without having its bonus tracks taken into consideration? Along with any information/artwork in the original album's booklet will be missing from a download, or - in this case - that may be missing from the Harry's Toenail/Lady Lake duo?

(Hope this is a good place for this thread.)

Thanks all.
