THE WALL (2-LP)

One of the most acclaimed concept albums of all time, The Wall has been hailed as a Pink Floyd masterpiece. A double album with the theme of isolation and loss, its accompanying, hugely theatrical, concerts were rated as the best live shows ever. Featuring the unique artwork of Gerald Scarfe, the album yielded the US & UK No.1 hit Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2, and also includes Hey You, Run Like Hell and the enduring Comfortably Numb.

Mastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl to the highest standards, the sleeves have also been updated. Gatefold sleeve / updated lyric inner sleeves, hand written by Gerald Scarfe.

THE DIVISION BELL (2-LP)

Pink Floyd’s 1994 album saw a theme of ‘communication’ running through the music. The album, which includes High Hopes, also won Pink Floyd their only Grammy Award, for Marooned. The Division Bell spawned a record-breaking tour that saw the band play an unprecedented 14 nights at London’s Earls Court, captured for the concert film P.U.L.S.E. This vinyl edition restores the full running time of all tracks over 2 LPs (original LP was edited to one disc) and the sleeve utilises additional images of the stone and metal heads.

Mastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl to the highest standards, the sleeves have also been updated. Gatefold sleeve / lyric inner sleeves.

MEDDLE

Stereo version (orginal LP was available in Mono and Stereo)

“Meddle”, das zeigt, wie sich die Band in ihrer musikalischen Ausrichtung von ihrem ursprünglich psychedelischen Sound wegbewegte, deutlich zu sehen am 23-minütigen Track “Echoes”, der die gesamte zweite Seite des Albums einnahm.

Regarded by the band as the album that most prepared them for The Dark Side Of The Moon, Meddle is dominated by the 23-minute Echoes and also includes One Of These Days and Fearless.

Recorded at Strawberry Studios in Hérouville, just outside Paris, in a mere two weeks, it shows the group performing as a tight integrated unit. Tracks include Wot’s… Uh The Deal and Free Four. Die-cut sleeve.
