I have the 30th Anniversary as well. It has its positive qualities: it is dead quiet, flat, nice thick vinyl and EMI deserves top marks for the quality control on it. I ended up picking up a pretty clean used copy for my son (1973 Canadian pressing with Mastered by Capitol stamped into the deadwax followed by "Wally" in handwriting FWIW) for about $5 that to my ears just sounds better: more open, dynamic and communicative than the 30th which, although quieter, sounds a bit "muffled" by comparison.

Opinions on the 30th Anniversary edition are all over the place. Good music though. I was never into Pink Floyd when I was younger but really like some of their stuff now.

Interesting, the cheap used copy I referred to in my post above is a Canadian Harvest SMAS11163. I agree with Audiofeil, as I stated, that it sounds better than the 30th Anniversary.

Audiofeil:

No bar code on the rear. Deadwax on side one is:

SMAS-11163-A-3 T6 2

Side 2 deadwax is:

SMAS-2-11163 7 F-54 Stamped "Mastered by Capitol" followed by a "Wally" signature in the deadwax.

Any ideas? Jeez, I gave it to my son. It better not be the best pressing I'll ever be able to find!!!
