I will add Terminal and Oak to the 11 songs of the record, but if I have to substitute two songs, that's Mighty Man and Beryl out.
You might get lucky, now and then

It seems like the bonus tracks are pretty good stuff.......if you ask people here at the forum  :)

It's not a big surprise. Sometimes it's hard to understand why some great songs are left outside the album. ???

I can't do it.
I tried to sort out "Mighty Man" (which is hard, because it's a grower for me, and it has such good lyrics) and "Wherever i go" (which is not so hard).

But in MUST "Terminal of Tribute to", "Oklahoma Ponies" and "My heart has never changed". So i give up and I strongly suggest a double album.  :wave

Would somebody please start a poll with eleven possible choices? :)

It would bring a better perspective to the thread. Thank you!  :wave

To start with 'Oklahoma Ponies' is a good idea though I seriously doubt Mark would start an album with not his music and with 'kick ass' in the first line.
