Timeblue, I'd take a very similar approach keep Concerto for a Rainy Day intact, but move it to side one then for the B side: Sweet Talkin' Woman It's Over Jungle Wild West Hero and Turn to Stone as the album closer

Some obvious ones, a couple not so: Side 1 Turn to Stone Across the Border Night in the City Steppin' Out Sweet is the Night Side 2 Full Concerto
Thanks for running a poll, @horacewimp

For me, side 1 is the original side 1 plus Steppin Out. Side 2 is Concerto in its entirety. It’s Over and Big Wheels vastly underrated, but I just find them to be the proverbial hidden gems. 😊

Side 1 :
Standing in the Rain (extended segue into...) It's Over Sweet Talkin Woman Across The Border Night In The City
Side 2 :
Turn To Stone Summer And Lightning Steppin Out Mr Blue Sky
I've extended the idea of it all being a concerto for a rainy day, the weather providing a backdrop for the travelogue about lost love / looking for a lost love

Interesting idea. I'd go with this....
Side One:
Standin' In The Rain Big Wheels Sweet Is The Night Believe Me Now Steppin' Out
Side Two:
Across The Border Night In The City Wild West Hero Mr. Blue Sky
....and that would omit two hit singles!

First of all, I'm glad it turned out to be a double album. But if the record company had forced Jeff to make it a single album, my suggestion would be this:
01. Turn To Stone 02. It's Over 03. Sweet Talkin' Woman 04. Night In The City
05. Believe Me Now 06. Steppin Out 07. Standin' In The Rain 08. Big Wheels 09. Mr Blue Sky

Can I choose 10 songs because I love "Believe me Now" and, it's short? I'm thrilled that so many people would include Across the Border. That's my favorite song and I've always thought that I'm the only one who loves it. 1. Across the Border -no more skipping past the others to get to my favorite, I'll put it first 2. Turn to Stone 3. Standin' in the Rain 4. Big Wheels 5. The Whale -really don't understand why people don't like this song, It is so relaxing 6. Sweet Talkin' Woman -For Mik since he plays a small solo 7. It's Over - For Richard's solo 8. Believe Me Now- Wish Jeff would do this again and make it 5 minutes long. 9. Steppin' Out
