Pink Floyd,, the only band that can sell more albums than Led Zeppelin..

If LZ 4 was a 40M seller,, just look at PF, and what WYWH,, DSOTM,, TW,,, are doing on vinyl at this time, this Day.
Some say,, 20 million a year on vinyl,, per year, as per their back catalogue, in these days.

There is no way LZ are doing 20M a year on their back catalogue,, and that is why PF will pull ahead in sales numbers as time goes by.

Damn it, my IPTV is glitching and it's got adverts. I have local copies of all anyway.

No matter how many times you watch Pulse it's still freakin' awesome..

A momentary lapse of reason getting it's own updated & remixed release on October 19th in various formats. Will go for the CD/Blu ray myself. Something to keep us going until Dave & Roger agree the Animals updated release if they ever do 🙄.

This came out previously with the Early Years set. IMO it still sounds dated owing to the awful reverb on the drums. That said, I do enjoy a few of the songs on this in terms of the songwriting and Gilmour's guitar work but it's nowhere near my floyd top 10. I prefer the production on the Division Bell; sounds closer to the floyd sound I prefer myself.

I think it would be an interesting project to cover AMLOR but imagine it from the perspective of pre-The Wall floyd.

I think there's some good stuff on AMLOR; I've gone back to it more the older I've gotten and enjoyed it, it's pretty laid back adult rock but sometimes I prefer that to, say, The Narrow Way or something like that!

The remix was ok, it modernised things a bit but some of the charm of that album was the 80s sound and production.

I had a listen to the newly released "360 Reality Audio" mix, and to be honest I didn't really hear anything spectactual.

Something of interest.... An early Christmas present....

There seems to be a number of live albums from the 1970s released onto streaming services. (Spotify) Bootlegs I would guess. The sound quality is iffy.....

Listening to Pink Floyd live in Lyon and Tokyo 1972 at the moment. Full version of DSOTM. A few tracks very different to the finished album.

I must do some digging to find out who released these live albums.

Thanks Nal. The early work on the DSOTM material is interesting to listen to.

I think there's a dozen or so albums to check out. Although the sound quality is suspect.

These live albums that have shown up on Spotify are apparently sh1t bootleg quality recordings I recommend you seek out John Peel's Perfumed Garden series, a set of performances at the Paris Theatre 1970/71. Personally I like the comp recording of the shows titled An Hour with Pink Floyd. The first three tracks (1970) being a complete Embryo (as opposed to the only half finished studio recording that ended up on on the Columbia records comp Works), Green is the Colour/Careful with that Axe, Eugene. (1971) One of These Days, Echoes. I love Peel's anecdotes describing Floyd's music. Worth seeking out if you can get your hands on them.

Animals standalone Blu-Ray disc is up for pre-order now. I have ordered several discs from this shop and found them useful and have just pre-ordered, just to note you can add around €11 for Customs when it gets into the Country. Pretty decent price considering the other Blu-Ray discs can only be bought in the Immersion sets.

Travelling to NY in August to see Roger Waters live in Madison Square Garden. Honestly, my underpants strap is at breaking point with the excitement!
