It's one of those albums that benefit from not being given much attention when playing. I don't mind it myself.Quote:

I have to admit, I like this a lot; in places it's like psychedelic blues rock and reminds me a bit of the Stones and in a few other areas, its totally out there !! Very interesting !!! Great choice !!! :thumbsup:Quote:

As this album is part of the Shine On box set it would be inevitable that I would end up playing another one of the albums maybe Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here or maybe Animals or ...........
I do, however, still have the original vinyl release of The Wall from 1979 which has regrettably seen better days from a playing perspective!
The eight albums included in this box set are:
A Saucerful of Secrets
Meddle
The Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall
A Momentary Lapse of Reason
The Early Singles (bonus CD, unavailable elsewhere)
Production:
James Guthrie – remastering production
Alan Parsons – assistant remastering on the included release of The Dark Side of the Moon
Aubrey Powell – sleeve design
Doug Sax – remastering
Storm Thorgerson – sleeve design
As the collection was meant to showcase the best of Pink Floyd, the decision was made to not include the soundtrack albums More or Obscured by Clouds, or the albums Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother and The Final Cut. The band's first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, was also omitted, as EMI were planning to release a special edition of the album at the time, and it was hoped that new fans would buy both this set and the re-released debut album.
The packaging on each of the previously released albums was unique to this set, with each CD housed in a solid black jewel case with a small sticker of the album cover affixed to the front. When lined up in order of release, the spines of the eight CD cases displayed the prism image from the cover of The Dark Side of the Moon.

Thanks, still missing a few albums of thiers and just been looking at a few of them on CD or reissued LP's and decided for the option of filling all the gaps, well all the albums excluding compilations, to buy the Discovery box set which fills all the gaps and of course duplicates a few too but they are different remasters at least.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4cf7a52c21.jpgQuote:

Great album another of my all time favourites. A few years ago I visited the grave of John Bonham at Rushock, the tributes from all over the world around his grave were quite something.Quote:
