I picked up The Wall at a yard sale for a buck. My brother gave my vinyl edition to my niece. Grrrrrr....
That’s my favorite era of Floyd, but not $700 worth. I’ve gotten the King Crimson super obsessive box sets, those are $10 a disc (so around $300) I can fly to that. Over $20 a disc seems gougy.
Obscured by Clouds is one of my favourite Floyd albums.
Way too much Pink Floyd.
Umma Gumma, Meddle, Live At Pompeii, Dark Side Of The Moon, Welcome To The Machine, Animals...
That’s my Pink Floyd.
This is pretty much pre- Dark Side stuff. The band has for decades pretty much ignored this period and been embarrassed by it. But for many hard-core fans the improvisational live shows and setlists that were pretty much dropped forever after DSOTM make this period the most creative and interesting for some. I think the price is down to around $500 if one shops around but the official Floyd merchandise site states that the music cd’s will be made available individually in 2017. I’ve been waiting over 2 decades to hear a few songs - outtakes from More. Knowing Floyd’s high standards I imagine most of the stuff here will be in superb quality compared to much of the bootlegged versions.
Ummmmm...
HOW much?
pfflt. +
I’ll grab it from Ebay or Amazon in 2 years for, what?, $40 ?
Deo volente.
Money, it’s a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I’ll buy me a football team
Welcome to the (money) Machine
I know what I want for Christmas!
27 disk set? That’s more Pink Floyd than I could handle for the rest if my days.
That anti-Semite Roger Waters doesn’t get a dime from me.
I enjoy Pink Floyd but there’s no band I’m spending $700 on. I guess this will sort out the truly dedicated from mere fans....
Emily tries but misunderstands
Lots of odd stuff not for casual or radio friendly listener stuff. For example - this is in there.

“Corrosion in the Pink Room” is a song written by Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason. It is an instrumental piece that was played at their live shows during the early 1970s. It is a very avant-garde piece, with eerie piano playing by Wright and scatting by Waters, reminiscent of the sounds on Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict. Halfway through, the song transitions to a jazzy blues jam, similar to Funky Dung. It also was known to feature the “whalesong effect”, used during live performances of “Embryo” and, later on, “Echoes”.
I’ve got a copy of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Haven’t listened to it in years. Interesting period piece, but I could never get into it. Later stuff is more to my taste.
Some really interesting stuff but nearly EVERY disc has “Saucerful of Secrets”, “Set the Controls to the Heart of the Sun” and “Careful With That Axe Eugene”.. Also “Atom Heart Mother” several times.
Those are fine for one listen, but sheesh! Practically every disc!
