Does the description of the UK track list and its errors make sense? From reading it,I'm not sure whether the side 2 and 3 labels were switched, or whether the common practice of disk one containing sides 1 and 4, disk two containing sides 2 and 3 was followed, or if something else is happening. Can a UK-pressing owner please clarify this?97.116.85.219 (talk) 04:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I own a vinyl copy of this album and it has Sides 1 and 4 on one record, and sides 2 and 3 on the other. I always assumed it was done this way intentionally so that sides 1 and 2 could be stacked and played sequentially on a turntable, then both of them flipped over to play sides 3 and 4 sequentially. --mwalimu59 (talk) 06:09, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was a process known as "automatic sequence." It was common practice to put Sides 1 and 3 on the first album and Sides 2 and 4 on the second album of a double album in the 70's, especially for live albums. Notable exceptions to this were KISS Alive! ans KISS Alive II, the latter being that only three sides were live anyway. In contrast, Bob Seger's Silver Bullet was pressed in automatic sequence, as was Frampton Comes Alive! and even the three-album Woodstock compilation went so far as to have Sides sequenced as 1 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6. The pressing of THIS album in such fashion was certainly not in error. 209.254.200.110 (talk) 15:10, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
