The only triple album that I know of, if its even considered one, is Shania Twain's album named Up. Three different copies of the album were made.

God bless you and Shania always!!!

Holly

P.S. To me, its her best album with the country copy being the best of the three.

Surprised no one's mentioned this phenomenal album yet, a rare one that's triple on CD and not just vinyl:


69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields

My Favorite Double Albums by RoundTheBend

This was an ok guestimate for me.

For those afraid to click, here's my top ten from that:
Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
Hot Rocks 1964–1971 (Exile could go here I guess... I just REALLY like this comp... grew up on it, so hard to break ties with it)
In Your Honour - worth revisiting... was a major fanboy when I created this... still like/listened to recently, but curious how I'd rate
Stadium Arcadium - same here... although I'd put this above FF
Jones Beach, New York August 25, 2000 - easily Pearl Jam's best album for me... they are a much better live act
The Alchemy Index - Thrice - the elements well represented
London Calling
The Wall
The Beatles (The White Album)
At Fillmore East


Reflektor - this album has really grown on me over the years.

I didn't know Have One On Me was double - that'd definitely make my list. Same with Bitches Brew (may already did?)


Oh Europe '72 is easily Grateful Dead's best record.

Hooker 'N Heat is also a fantastic record - half with "the band" and half with just John (I didn't look at the liner credits, it just felt that way).

Also was OutKast the first to release a double hip-hop album with Speakerboxxx/The Love Below... definitely stylistically interesting record.

All Eyez on Me... anyway... I don't know actually anything.

My favourite hip-hop double albums:

1. The Notorious B.I.G. - Life After Death
2. E-40 - The Element of Surprise
3. UGK - Underground Kingz
4. 2Pac - All Eyez On Me
5. The Diplomats - Diplomatic Immunity
6. Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Forever
7. 8Ball - Lost
8. Vince Staples - Summertime '06
9. Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
10. Master P - MP Da Last Don
11. Nate Dogg - G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2
12. Jay-Z - The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse
13. Scarface - My Homies
14. Migos - Culture II

Even with the lack of options available, I still refuse to add Street's Disciple to this list. I don't hate it, but it somehow manages to be both an incoherent mess and dull as dishwater at the same time. Nobody needs two hours of Migos in one sitting, but Culture II - which, to be frank, is an obvious case of diminishing returns - is a far more entertaining listen than Street's Disciple.

Also, E-40 has done that thing where he drops multiple albums on the same day quite a few times in the past few years, and if they were proper double/triple/quadruple albums they would be on this list, but they're not so they aren't. The first three volumes of his The Block Brochure series, subtitled Welcome to the Soil, were all released on the same day, were later packaged as a triple CD boxset, and would land at #4 on the above list. I truly believe that E-40 dropping three and a half hours of consistently high quality music, on the same day, in his mid-forties, is one of the most underrated feats in hip-hop over the past decade.
