Never did get The Floyd.
It's not particularly hard. You go out and buy something or download it.
You might even broaden your horizons and realise what you are missing.

New Pink Floyd release
Pink Floyd is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of Dark Side of the Moon.
The forthcoming The Dark Side Of The Moon box set will be available through Warners on March 24. It includes a CD and gatefold vinyl of the newly remastered studio album and Blu-Ray and DVD audio featuring the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions. The set also includes an additional new Blu-ray disc of a Dolby Atmos mix plus CD and LP of The Dark Side Of The Moon - Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974.
I hope the "remastered" versions are worthy improvements, but that isn't always the case these days.
The artwork is creating a stir among a small segment of "fans" who don't know what prisms and rainbows are... attacking or dis-owning the band for their "wokism". Can't make this stuff up, sadly.

The first time I saw Pink Floyd was 1970 in the PNE Forum in my home town of Vancouver, BC. It was the Atom Heart Mother Tour and the entire audience was what you would call "baked". When they played "Careful With That Axe, Eugene", at the point where Roger Water's screams, two humongous flash pots went off and when I could see again, there were two topless dancers on stage. Needless to say, authorities were not amused. Fast forward two years to the "Dark Side Tour". Same 5,000 seat venue and we are all "baked" once more. Absolutely top five all time show. Quadrophonic sound and a perfect album. I don't know if I will buy the anniversary edition, but I certainly don't begrudge them doing it. They don't need the money and people thinking that are, are judging them by today's standards, not theirs. |
just received the police greatest hits half speed remastered 180g lp.i have most or the songs it contains on original "normal" albums-the new one sounds bright thin in the bass and compressed. iv'e bought a number of so called remastered lp's over the years and only a few have sounded better than than the originals except for noise floor. |
