Morning all, well I thought I would start with a couple of discs from the The Discovery Box Set by Pink Floyd, namely Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here.

Originally released in 2011 as the Why Pink Floyd ? Discovery Edition with remastered versions of all the studio albums up to 2011 e.g. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn to 1967 The Division Bell 1994, 14 albums in all. This box set has some mixed comments mainly around the box set added bits, i.e packaging, notes etc., personally I would say overall the package is very good there is a 60 page booklet of art work from the period commissioned by Pink Floyd some of which is previously unpublished. The purists might decry that the individual gate fold cardboard sleeve albums are not all a faithful reproduction of the original LP artwork and that the antistatic sleeves for the CD's are unnecessary and fiddly! However, for me the packaging overall is very good and more importantly the "Remastered" versions are excellent, although admittedly I don't have all the albums on vinyl or previous cd releases* to compare, however, those I do have, I can say these versions are certainly better with a greater sense of attack and decay in cymbals and tom tom's, overall midrange detail is better, instrument separation/ soundstage is wider and deeper along with better bass articulation and depth. There's also a almost complete absence of any tape noise too and no apparent lack of top end air or "sparkle" and there's certainly no feeling of compressed dynamics especially given the limitations of the original recordings for many of the albums.


The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (August 1967)

A Saucerful of Secrets (June 1968)

More (June 1969)

Ummagumma (October 1969)

Atom Heart Mother (October 1970)

Meddle (gate fold) (October 1971)

Obscured by Clouds (June 1972)

The Dark Side of the Moon (March 1973)

Wish You Were Here (September 1975)

Animals (January 1977)

The Wall (November 1979)

The Final Cut (March 1983)

A Momentary Lapse of Reason (September 1987)

The Division Bell (March 1994)

Agreed.
