Billy Swan -  Don't Be Cruel 

Are some musicians really that bad at making the long play records? No, I don't think this might be the answer, I would claim some just didn't see the use of them. For instance, Elvis did release a lot of albums, but many of them are just a couple of hits and some filler put together. Still, we shouldn't see this as something bad, we must understand the context – Mr. Presley had a set of different priorities, he wasn't Sinatra with his song cycles, but I believe he would've been open to something like that, had he lived. Moreover, the ramshackle feeling of his platters does cause us to miss a multitude of gems, including the one on the link. Yes, that might be the biggest tragedy of those players who didn't put much effort into their LPs, some of their great tunes became ignored.
