And here was me presuming that this thread owed it’s bump to @EinsteinsHund’s current thread on album titles (for which I have nothing so far - sorry EH!).

Have been summoned here by @Treppenwitz@ting me, and I actually thought about putting up a thread like this after posting the"Albums named after a song that isn’t on the album…" thread. So I already thought of a special example: The IMHO greatest live album of all time is Van Morrison’s “It’s Too Late To Stop Now”. The title originally is a line from the studio version of “Into The Mystic” from the album “Moondance”. There’s actually a live version of “Into The Mystic” on “It’s Too Late To Stop Now”, but Van doesn’t sing that line there, but in the final song “Cyprus Avenue” as the last vocals of the whole double album. ---

The **Judas Priest** studio album **Sin After Sin** has a track called **Sinner**. However it’s another track on the same album, **Genocide** , that includes the line “_Sin after sin, I have endured_” TCMF-2L ---

In 2001 Neil Finn (from Crowded House, a solo career and a stint in Fleetwood Mac) gathered various famous musicians together for a charity concert and called the whole endeavour 7 Worlds Collide. An album was then released called 7 Worlds Collide by Neil Finn and Friends. The 1993 Crowded House hit Distant Sun includes the lyrics "Seven worlds will collide Whenever I am by your side. Dust from a distant sun. Will shower over everyone." TCMF-2L ---
