Twelve slight changes that would have made great albums even greater, in my opinion:
1) Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited: Including Positively 4th Street instead of leaving it off.
2) Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon: shortening On The Run by about 2 minutes 45 seconds.
4) The Beach - Boys Pet Sounds - Including Good Vibrations instead of leaving it off.
5) The Beatles - Sgt Pepper: Including Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane instead of leaving them off.
6) David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust: Scrapping It Ain't Easy, and instead including Wide Eyed Boy From Freecloud and possibly even his own version of All The Young Dudes.
7) Pink Floyd - Meddle: Much as I love the full 23 minutes of Echoes, there is one section towards the end of the middle where nothing much happens that we could probably live without.
8} REM - Automatic For The People: Replacing the not so good Ignoreland with the lovely B-side Mandolin Strum.
9) Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland: Scrapping the awful opener And The Gods Made Love (ditto the opener on his also otherwise terrific Axis: Bold as Love).
10) The Beatles - White Album: Get rid of Revolution 9, enough said!
11) The Byrds - Younger Than Yesterday: Not including David Crosby's terrible song Mind Gardens
12) Deep Purple - Machine Head: Including When a Blind Man Cries, instead of leaving it off.
