I'd have to say that the More Soundtrack is my favorite Pink Floyd album. Cymbaline, The Nile Song, and Green Is The Colour are three of their best and most overlooked songs.
Sorry, I am an old Floyd fan. I had all of these albums when I was in my teens and they got wiped when my Dad stacked them in a cardboard box and put them out in a shed at his place on a lake. Needless to say moisture and mold destroyed ALL my record collection to include a very nice complete set of Styx including records under the Wooden Nickel label.. I cried... I was deployed to Korea with the Air Force for a year when this happened. BUT... (My opinion) While Animals and Wish You Were Here are great albums. The creation of Dark Side of the Moon was the point where the band left the almost pure psychedelic and ventured closer towards the sound and performance that put them on the map. Rolling Stone and MTV did not create the wave of success Floyd enjoyed after it's release. MTV wasn't even a thing yet. The album is one I grew up with. I listened to it on cassette tape at night my first years in the service, again before MTV was even a thing. Other guys in the service from all over the country KNEW that album and it was a favorite of theirs as well. I don't read Rolling Stone. I didn't watch MTV very much and I don't recall MTV really pushing Floyd more than say Dire Straights or Duran Duran or any number of more popish bands of the 80s. I was a drummer in a band a long way back and we would get drunk or high or both and talk music with other band members and players and Dark Side was one of the albums we all agreed was one of Floyd's best if not the best. Years later you want to credit Rolling Stone and MTV with success that Floyd earned then that is just the view point of someone NOT from the period in my opinion. The Wall, for me, was a great work but it was also a work of ego. It was according to many articles of the time when Floyd broke up the point where Waters and Gilmore really had a hard time. Waters especially pushed his contribution and demand for credit for his work on that album. Sorry for the book comment but you frivolously giving credit to Dark Side of the Moon to a crap publication like Rolling Stone which ended up spending more time on politics and social issues than music and MTV which started out fairly good but was consumed by crap music and agenda later is worth discussing in depth. It's not your personal favorite album. That's fine and fair. But to discredit and marginalize the impact on rock music that Dark Side had and still has is like saying Sergeant Pepper's of the Beatles and say.. Tommy from the Who were second rate and over hyped by media as well.
Mark Johnson I agree with you, Mark! I don’t like A momentary lapse of reason or the division bell. I Love Obscured by Clouds ☁️ especially Childhood’s End, Free Four, the title track, Mudmen and Stay.
@@georgedoughly6344 the partial re-recording and remaster of AMLOR is outstanding. I don't have the expensive box set which includes the whole album but the tracks on The Later Years album are excellent, like a lost PF album.
One of my favorite bands from the 70's. Although I did not get into their post Waters period I did appreciate Gilmour's solo albums. Seeing them live in 1977 at Boston Garden and 1980's Wall show at Nassau Coliseum spoiled me Lj. You have a collection here that a lot of Pink collectors would like to have for completion. Good to see you back . Happy New Year to the coolest family southwest of Boston~ Rob/Boston
Paneeks1960 I love that Pink Floyd have endured and evolved long enough to have created not only an amazing body of work but a dedicated allegiance of fans that can all pledge loyalty to the albums that were the soundtrack to their most formative years. How many bands can claim that? Never saw them live, sincerely envious and wish the entire P1960 clan the safest, warmest and most awesome New Year's Eve ever. Staying in and fast asleep before the ball gets anywhere near the ground, that's most always the preferred choice here. Rock it on my behalf brother. - Lj
You are right Lj. The albums that PF released so far have surely played a large role in many a fan's life. I will never forget 1975 when my dad came home from work {daily mile and a half walk home from the Quincy Center T stop} and popped a Pink Floyd ticket for the Boston Music Hall on my kitchen table. He then asked me these words that I will never forget: "Are these guys any good"? My eyes lit up and I quickly answered "Yes". I was 14 years old and I was holding a ticket to see the 'Wish You Were Here' tour at the Music Hall. I will never forget the ticket price of $6.50. It was a pink ticket that was specially printed at the Music Hall for all of their shows. I have quite a few of them for artists like Marley, Bruce, Queen, www.mjwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/aerosmith_concert_ticket.jpg , Kinks, Heart, Dead, Bowie, etc... My dad found the ticket on the ground as he was leaving the train station. It was impossible for me to go alone so I ended up selling the ticket for $12 to a kid on my hockey team. If I had only kept it the ticket would have been an incredible collectible. Didn't we talk a few years back about watching some of the Twilight Zone Marathon on New Years Eve? I know that we both have shared more than a few New Years in the VC and we PM'd each other quite a few times around this time. Whatever you do before the ball drops I hope that Renee, yourself and the kids have fun doing so. Thanks again for another great year of videos, the best comment replies on the planet and for your loyal friendship that means more to me than anything else. R/B Did someone turn the thermostats down outside? 79 days til spring!
Paneeks1960 Now that was one helluva story! I can only imagine your face as he put the tickets down and your jaw dropped! Wow, thank you, honestly, for sharing that! 79 days until spring? Is that all? I better get outside and enjoy winter while its here! Soon enough, another endless summer will be in full swing and you couldn't be more right, Mr. Serling and The Zone are in full swing here. Safe and Happy New Year my brother and than YOU for another year of videos, comments, friendship and support. Here's to another endless year! - Lj
Hey LJ! I'm commenting again as myvinyl2. Nice Pink Floyd collection as usual and wonderful explanation of every album. I'm surprised not to see the new album "The Endless River" in this video. I still enjoyed this video. Take care LJ!
myvinyl2 Hey there Marv! Great to hear from you, I caught your teaser video earlier and looking forward to some new posts. I've not yet picked up Endless River. I've heard enough mixed things about it to be trigger shy at it's current price point and the competition in the wishlist, as always, is fierce. I'm sure I'll grab it eventually when and if it turns up a little more reasonably priced. Thanks for tunin' in, hope the weekend was a great one! - Lj
obscured by clouds is amazing. track #5 is one of my fav floyd songs "whats uh the deal?" weird title but amazing song. also, i love animals. i was only 2 when it came out but would have loved to have seen them on their 1977 tour.
+jimmyjambhere Obscured by Clouds is a slow grower for me but Floyd's catalog is like that. Favorites for some and lower in the list for others. Never got the chance to see them live either, agreed, a shot to catch them on the Animals or Wall tour would have been awesome. - Lj
+BioCYTE1 I saw them on The Division Bell Tour at Foxboro. I skipped my Senior Prom for it! Don't regret it! Still best concert I ever attended. Three weeks before Pink Floyd, I saw Rush for the first of FIVE TIMES on their Counterparts tour.
Nice collection. I'll have to post my Floyd collection on vinyl soon. Floyd have always been my favourite. My number 1 favourite Floyd album for me is; Obscured By Clouds. Always been a fan of that album. Followed closely by The Wall. Take care
My man room stuff Obscured by Clouds? Now that's one I've not heard many stand by as a favorite and its truly a fan of the band that will choose that one. That said, you've convinced me to spin it again so than you. Appreciate you takin' the time to check this out, Happy New Year! - Lj
LJ great feature on that Pink Floyd Vinyl collection. I see the big hole in mine I totally agree with you on those early albums. After seeing this I'm definitely looking for more Floyd stuff. Awesome LJ been waiting for this video since you found Division Bell original.
lovell andrew Thanks! Really glad to have it done, this one had been in the back of my mind for ages to do! It was a blast to flip and talk through them again as many of them don't come off the shelf very often. Thanks for takin' the time to catch this, Happy New Year brother! - Lj
Very nice video man. Really enjoyed your opinions on your favorite Pink Floyd albums. I love Pink Floyd so much, i saw them on tour for The Wall and MLOR. I hope you have a Happy Newyear! Peace Brian/TVK
I had to see this video !! Great Floyd collection. I did not realize how many Floyd albums I am missing but then again I am not a fan of the Syd era. Now we have had our Floyd album chats, so no need to bring that back up ..lol But yes, Delicate Sound of Thunder is a killer live album. Still love spinning my copy of it. Momentary Lapse of Reason is a great find on vinyl. I never owned that album on vinyl till I joined the VC. Big upgrade from my cassette back in the day. Thanks to the reissue, I now have the Division Bell on vinyl. That was on my radar for a long time. Looks like all you need now it Endless River. Great Floyd collection bro !!
kingsdrummer Hey Bro! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out, I can see I have to lure you in these days! Next up, Genesis collection! Haha! No value there, just all the studio releases so nothing interesting! Honestly, I'm not planning on picking up Endless River at this point unless it turns up used cheap or both. Just doesn't seem like a must have album. Am I dead wrong? We've always been on the same Floyd page, not much use for the Syd era but like Rush or Marillion or even Genesis, Floyd fans are most always divided into very loyal camps! Thanks for takin' the time time hang out for this, hope all's well and Happy New Year brother! - Lj
BioCYTE1 What do you mean you have to "lure me in these days"...lol I do like Endless River but I doubt it would be a must have. A nice album to have playing in the background but no song really stands out. I thought it would be cool to do a Genesis vinyl video, but way to many of those. Hope you and your family have a Happy and Safe New Years !!
kingsdrummer Just playing, just good to hear from ya! Pink Floyd was a definite and easy lure for ya! Sounds like we're in the same boat on Endless River and I'm sure I'll grab it eventually. The price point sucks! Thanks for the wishes, hope you have a great one and you can always raise six cold ones to a copy of All The World's a Stage (another extremely pricey forthcoming reissue, wtf?!) on New Years Eve! - Lj
Nice job sir!!!! I like that you give your personnal take and feeling on these instead of what the general public thinks!! I only have three myself Atom Heart Mother,Meddle and The Wall.
5671050 I wouldn't say you only have, I'd say you only have 3 of the best! I can respect and admire a band that's lasted as long as they have and naturally, different camps will exist and have their favorites. Hope I didn't completely squat on any given one, they're all good but some are just great. Thanks for the support this year Vince, it's been awesome getting to know ya, Happy New Year! - Lj
Axel Book Hey Axel! The Film is such a cool little rarity in the catalog that the cover condition didn't even put me off like it normally would. I'm sure I've seen them for sale online over the years, definitely recommend it as a cool companion to the movie. Always great to hear from ya, thanks for the support this year and a Happy New Year to ya! - Lj
Hello Cousin LJ! Man,you are so damn lucky! Man=O-Man...I sold all my 'Pink Floyd' in the early 90s (I know,I know...)and have been trying to locate 'Ummagumma','Atom Heart...' & 'Meddle' and I just can't locate them (in my area) and if I do...the sellers are asking an arm & a leg for them...***Yes,I have them ALL on CD but damn,I MISS MY VINYL!*** Great video my friend,as always...but this one really touched a cord with me...they were such an important band to me in the early 70s... Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I shall take this time to wish all the best for the New Year my friend...and please,please continue to do your great videos. They always make my day! Cheers! Ol' Uncle Marty
Martin Noreau Uncle Marty! So glad you found the time to catch this and share the memories, really great to hear from ya and I hope all's well! Floyd are amazing in that they've evolved and endured so long that they have legions upon legions of devoted fans and near anyone born since the 50's has had the opportunity to spend some quality formative teenage time with them and develop a relationship with at least one or two releases. Quite simply, there just is no bad Floyd release, just some more favorited amongst groups tan others. The vinyl boom has massacred prices for sure but either more reissues will come or the bubble will eventually burst as do all. Either way, hang tight and they'll soon be back in that collection! Safe and Happy New Year to the Uncle and Aunt, all the best and many thanks for all the support this year! - Lj
Hey Lj, great review, as always!!! Yes, Animals & Wall rule. Thanks for all your cool videos & a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Best regards from Switzerland.......Bruno
Bruno Ender Lee Hi Bruno! Cool to hear that we share some favorite Floyd albums! Winter time in Switzerland, surrounded by snow and quiet is a fantastic time to spin Animals! Thanks for the kind words and support, Happy New Year! - Lj
Great timing with this review - HAD to watch since I just saw El Monstero. There's so much PF I'm not familiar with, so it's great to hear your opinions about their catalog. The Wall was one I found during a Goodwill dig and is my only PF to date, other than what I have on iTunes. The one I found doesn't have the writing on the cover, so it's an earlier pressing. But it was in great shape and sounds perfect! Really cool "pulse" CD!
Jill Randall The Wall in nice shape at Goodwill?! Someone's been a very good girl to have the record Gods smile down upon her pretty little face quite like that! Really glad to hear you had a good time at the show and thank you for listening to me yap on for over 18/min (yikes!) about albums I've owned for years! Now that's some kind of catch! Happy New Year Jill! - Lj
With a catalog as deep as PF's, there's bound to be differences in opinion. Remember, I didn't say that I don't like DSOTM, just that it's overrated (and the same could be said of The Wall). Thanks for catchin' this, glad you dug it! - Lj
+BioCYTE1 They're not overrated at all. Every song in this album is beautiful and made to perfection so I dont know what your talking about. Every top 10's list also describes TDSOTM as the best album of all time
It's his opinion. He's entitled to it. Plenty of people don't connect with DSOTM as much as they do with, for example, WYWH or Animals or Meddle or The Wall or even the Syd era. Just because a bunch of lists put it as "the best album of all time" doesn't make it so. These things are subjective.
The Wall, TDSOTM, WYWH are overrated. Perfect in every way, but still overrated. And that comes from a guy who loves them all. Syd era on the other hand is so underrated.
helmut Diggy Right on! That album is amazing, I only first heard it in the mid-80s after really getting into The Wall. Hope it works out and I didn't overhype it! Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Again some nice talking man. Pink Floyd is just magic i remember first time hearing Wish you were hear and i was just so blown away by the emotions in Crazy Diamond still my fav album by them.Couldnt agree more about Dark side of the moon its just too much commercialised but much by the band its self then by the media. Happy New Year may it be better than the last one to all of ya from the VC and your loved ones!
Phantom Collector of vinyl We couldn't be more aligned. It truly seems far too many people hold Dark Side on the 100' pedestal and those same people either haven't heard it or haven't heard the other albums they're saying it's better than. Crazy what TV and Radio can lead us to believe! Thanks for tunin' in, great to hear from ya, Happy New Year! - Lj
These collection videos kinda make me sad b/c although I think it's nice that vinyl has been appreciated and embraced by more and more people of late (Thank you, vinyl boom). I can't help but remember finding my copies of these albums and paying no more than $5 a piece ($10 or so for a new copy) And to look now on Amazon that you can't acquire a copy of Meddle for less than $50 blows my mind. Remember Dark Side and The Wall LP's by the bin fulls. Hindsight, huh? I know this topic is pretty played out but it never ceases to amaze me anyway. Great video as always. Keep it at eleven!! \m/
The Void No kidding! I see Floyd in the shops these days and just cringe at the prices. Condition is irrelevant, if it says Pink Floyd on it, $50! It's insane! The boom will taper off, nothing like that lasts forever and prices will again fall as new converts decide its not for them and they head back for the safety of their iPads. The trick is going to be being there at the right time to scoop up the pricey reissues they've offloaded in the process! Thanks for takin' the time to catch this, Happy New Year! - Lj
you wanna know a good way of getting records for the cheap? Go to garage sales. Even if they don't have any records out, ask them if they have any old records that they wanna get rid of. A lot of people will be surprised that anyone wants records. Unfortunately you'll run into a lot of Gospel and scratched up records, but sometimes you'll find a gem.
LJ, you nailed it bro! We have the exact same taste in Pink Floyd. My absolute fav is Animals followed by Momentary Lapse of Reason. I really need to find Delecate Sound on vinyl. That was a great concert-I wore out the VHS I had in the early 90s. I also need to find that Wall "the Film" edition. There were so many tracks that were different variations/re-recordings from the movie that are much different than the actual album. I wish I could score an OG copy of Division Bell for $10 like you did.... :)
ejd715 Hey! I've only once seen The Film in the shops and it was the one I showed. It was only a few bucks at the time too so it was a no-brainer. Thanks to the vinyl boom, anything that says Pink or Floyd on it is instantly tagged forty dollars regardless of condition, its nuts. Glad to hear we're on the same Floyd wavelength, those two albums are just amazing. Happy New Year! - Lj
What a way to finish up my New Years Day LJ video watching onslaught than with a Pink Floyd Collection video! You just knew DarkSideOfTheZoom was going to tune in to this one! I have to agree with you that the first couple of Floyd records don't really do anything for me, I guess I just really like the influence Gilmour has had on that band. I fluked finding a near mint 1975 "Gigi" cover Japanese pressing of Ummagumma last year, I nearly flipped out! I love the semi-"droste" effect that they did with that cover too. "A pretty widespread reaching reach"? Yeah, I know what you meant! DSOTM overrated? Nah! Well, yeah, maybe! DSOTM, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall are the ones for me...and Division Bell slips in the back door. Your original release of Division Bell is sick! This was a nice tribute for The Floyd bro, I enjoyed this one a lot! Thanks! D.
DarkSideOfTheZoom The last in line! Hello? Dio? DSOTZ, not overrated (underrated actually) DSOTM, yes, wildly overrated. Its amazing how many folks I've heard claim its their best album but when asked what they thought of The Final Cut, they've never heard it. So exactly how then could it be their best again? The media hype over the years and classic rock radio have just destroyed that album to the point where the opening notes of "Money" have me reaching for the volume knob and down it goes. I just can't do it anymore. I'm with you, Animals, The Wall and a backdoor entry (ew) for The Division Bell. Have not yet grabbed Endless River (have you?) but I'm sure its inevitable! And with that, you've officially spent more time with me in the past 24 hours than I've spent with myself and for that, I offer my apologies sir! - Lj
BioCYTE1 Yeah, Money is kind of like Stairway to Heaven on classic rock radio..."oh, they're playing this one again, I haven't heard this before!". Have not got Endless River yet, I'm sure, like you, it will be on the shelves soon enough. I must apologise for 24 hours worth of DSOTZ comments, oh your poor typing hands!! D.
Very impressive collection LJ! I'm still missing many of their albums on vinyl. My all time favorite Pink Floyd album is Wish You Were Here. The documentary of making the album just came from the TV a while ago and it was brilliant too. I really love The Wall as well. I have an original (or very very early) US pressing of it, but I'd like to get an upgrade copy. Would you recommend the recent reissue? At least that's still pretty easy to find in NM condition. :D By the way, I saw the Wall movie as a planetarium show couple of years ago and that really blew my mind. If you ever have a change to see that, make sure not to miss it. It was abso-fucking-lutely amazing! That was an experience that I'll never forget. I enjoy the Division Bell even though many people seem to dislike it. I have it on cassette and it sounds great. I must grab the reissue, but that costs 34,95 € (about 42.5 USD) at my local record store! Anyway, I should try to find more Pink Floyd records online. They are almost impossible to find in the wild for a reasonable price around here. Thanks for sharing your collection LJ! Have a good rest of the year. And even better next year!
TheVinylCorner Wow, someone digs Floyd more than I thought to pen a response like that! Its always been very interesting to me to see how many different groups of Floyd fans there are but a band that has changed as much as they have and has existed as long as they have is naturally going to have a catalog full of favorites and fans that will rabidly defend their favorites. I don't hate any single album, just have some that I like or dislike more than others. Of those three copies of The Wall I have, they all sound the same. The reissue is a nice way to own a brand spanking new copy that no one has ever touched and is dead mint. For that, I'd say go for it, grab a cold beer and get yourself comfortably numb my brother. Happy New Year Mikko, have a great night with the family and cheers to 2015! - Lj
+BioCYTE1 i have dark side of the moon on viynl that my uncle gave me and im trying to find the wall on viynl and also my uncle has a pink floyd collection as well
Wow, amazing Floyd collection Lj! My favorite Floyd album has to be Wish You Were Here but actually there´s no bad album. I also had my problems with the very early Floyd albums first. Saucerful e.g. is an album you have to grow to. In my case it turned out a fantastic psychy prog-album. Love your Devision Bell 1st press. it gets traded for prices beyond good and bad. I was hoping this might change after the re-release lately but nope - the prices are insaine after all.
ryanrocks84 Hey Ben! Still need to catch your latest post, will tonight! Glad you dug this. I've just never been able to connect with Piper and Saucerful for some reason. I don't think they're bad though. What an amazing band that can have so many different periods and different but similar sounds! Didn't realize Division Bell was still that valuable, normally the reissue kills it! Thanks for tunin' in brother, have an awesome day! - Lj
The Wall is your favorite album because you grew up with it, it is an indelible stamp on your mind, you can't help yourself. It happened to me with Dark Side smoking pot in grade 9 and listening to in over and over. Check out all your stuff, good work. Take care Doug.
+Doug Campbell Couldn't agree more Doug and on the back of that, can easily understand/appreciate how DSOTM is to you what The Wall is to me. Absolutely dig the memories, thanks for tunin' in, appreciate the kind words! - Lj
I am so jealous look at all those records you have behind you *gasps for air*! the only PF I have so far on vinyl is Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and Richard Wright's first solo album Wet Dream. I really want to get my hands on his and Dave Harris's 1984 album Zee Identity but that record is well over $200
Hey Lj, I agree with you on the Syd Barrett period,i only have Relics and though i like it i've never felt need to get anything more. I heard Piper 30 years ago,but have never heard Umma Gumma,More or Saucerful. I have a higher appreciation for Dark Side,it's my fave just as are The Wall and Wish You Were Here.And maybe i should add A Momentary Lapse also. I mentioned this on my most recent video,but i heard Animals 30 years ago and i didn't like it.This year i thought i'd give it another chance and it turned out to be one of the best finds of the year. Also just before christmas i found Delicate Sound Of Thunder.So far i've only listened to it once,but i noticed some of the songs had quite a different versions,extended live workings. Take care and Happy New Year, Pasi
6758pasi Hi there Pasi! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out, it ran a little long but I guess it is what it is. I remember you telling me about how Animals had found you again this year and the time was right. I love when things like that happen. Pink Floyd is amazing in that they've existed and changed long enough to have reached millions in their formative years and in the process have created multiple camps of fans who all seem to share different favorites. At the end of the day, no album is bad, just some are better to certain people than others. Hope all's well and warm, give Delicate Sound of Thunder another spin for me and have a Happy New Year! - Lj
Hey LJ, now we are talking, I'm a huge floyd fan and somewhat of a floyd apologist - i like everything they've done aside from the endless river. I have all those albums + "works" and "more" but minus delicate sound. Its too bad the vinyl boom made their prices ridiculous, but i feel its a bubble that will burst. $30 for used vinyl isn't sustainable. Just like you the wall was my gateway, and am a huge fan of animals w wish you were here my fav. One side note- original press of meddle didn't have the band name or album name on cover. Happy new year, may 2015 bring you more of your vinyl want list!
Bryan Fitts Hi Bryan! I too have no plans on picking up Endless River based on what I've heard of it and about it so far. It's also not a cheap one so until a reasonably priced used copy turns up, I'm comfortable without it. I couldn't agree more about the vinyl boom completely screwing the hell out of anything Floyd. It's good for owners, horrible for buyers, I've seen VG copies of Animals shooting for $50?! Thankfully I've had these all for a long time and didn't pay anything close to that for them. Agreed, the bubble will eventually pop and labels all get back on track! Thanks for tunin' in, Happy New Year! - Lj
Hi LJ. Great video. Always good to learn about one of the best bands in the world. I like Pink Floyd, but I only have a couple of their albums (Meddle and DSOTM). I need to get some more. Did you ever try watching the wizard of oz with DSOTM playing at the same time? It's pretty cool. A lot of things match at the beginning of the movie.
The Vinyl Potato Hey there. The Wizard of Oz/DSOTM legend ha been around forever hasn't it? I remember trying it with friends in high school in the late 80's/early 90's. Never really could get it to line up but with the dawn of the interent, some really cool fan pages were made that had some primitive screen captures of them aligned which was always a cool read. Thanks for tunin' in and best of luck building up that Floyd vinyl collection! - Lj
I've never really been into Pink Floyd, although I never heard them on vinyl so maybe that's the issue. Maybe once I get to hear them on vinyl I will gain an appreciation. Thanks for sharing
Chuck Canuck Good point. There are lots of bands/albums out there that just don't work on certain formats. Find a copy of The Wall and jump in head first! - Lj
+Mark Tedman Glad you dug it. The vinyl boom has jacked Floyd prices through the roof. Nice score at 8 EU and fantastic album. Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Nice video!. I picked up PULSE on vinyl from the now defunct CDnow.com ( I found it funny they sold Vinyl) when I was pre-teen It was the first Floyd Record I had to the chance to buy brand new I can't remember what I paid i'm assuming around 40 dollars, It sounds amazing, and also has an additional track Astronomy Domain and having the book actually being full sized is awesome..... I never thought it would be worth so much, those mid to late 90's records go for a pretty penny and it sits next to my copy of NIN The Fragile vinyl copy... ..
raceranger88 Wow, couple of really great finds. I do regret not having grabbed Pulse of vinyl when it was released but even at that point there was such a decline in vinyl available in shops in the US that I'd still have had to go to a handful just to find one. To boot, if memory serves, it was around $69 or so when it was released and I probably wouldn't have been interested at that point given the lack of interest in The Division Bell. Of course, had I known then what I know now, different story! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out! - Lj
Great Pink Floyd collection Lj.. Wow, I pretty much agree with you all the way about these albums. Maybe I rank DSOTM a little higher than you. It's at the 4th spot on my Top 5 Pink Floyd album list. But The Wall is my absolute favorite one. What a monster album that is :) Great to see you man :)
My Analog Corner - Carsten Olsen And so I share a favorite album with the man himself?! Right on! No disrespect to DSOTM, just played into the ground on classic rock radio and held way to high by Rolling Stone and Billboard to really want to spin or hear very much anymore. At the end of the day, it's an amazing band that can last that long and evolve as much as they did and have and create legions and legions of devoted fans in the process so I gotta hand it to them! Thanks for an amazing year of support, comments and videos Carsten, Happy New Year to you my brother! - Lj
Yo Lj, Great bunch of Floyd albums there. Our opinions vary quite a bit on what floyd we prefer best but that is just splitting hairs it's all great! Rock on Happy 2015 --- Del
doctordel Its all good brother, there's enough Floyd to go around. Look at it this way, we meet up at a shop and instead of fighting over Floyd, I'm handing $10 pristine copies of Piper to you and your tossing $10 NM copies of Animals to me. Win/win! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out, Happy New Year to you both! - Lj
I have to share this....Yesterday i saw a GREAT Pink Floyd Tribute band. "P-Floyd". Amazing show and great musicians! They had a storyteller between the songs. So you got a great show with awesome music and a "pinkflodhistorian lesson"! What more could you ask for? =) Killer collection brother. Have you picked up David Gilmours latest album yet? I havent heard it, but i will soon! Take care / Freddy
+Fredrik Svensson Brother Freddy! Very cool to hear you caught a Floyd tribute show, right on! About as close as you'll come to seeing the band at this point and I'm sure it was a great show! Those are some big shoes to fill so I have no doubt they do a good job. I've not heard or picked up Gilmour's new album yet, no. Hearing great things about it though so it's on the list! Thanks for settin' some time aside to check this out, shine on you crazy Swedish diamond! - Lj
Well done sir LJ....Cool to see what you have and your thoughts on the Pink Floyd. I have been on the fence for Endless River but probably will get it ..how can you not right ? anyway would like to see more of these as I value your opinion and reviews. So keep on riding the gravy train bro !! -V
***** Gravy Train ahoy! Thanks VK, for stomachin' this one, the time got a little away from me but I guess it is what it is with lots of ground to cover. I've not grabbed Endless River and at its price point, probably won't until I catch it on sale or find a used copy around half of what its goin' for. Just in no rush based on what I've heard so far. I don't doubt its good, just some fierce competition in the wantlist! Haven't done one of these collection vids in awhile, really tired of them dating themselves almost immediately! Maybe some more in the future, any suggestions? Leaving LZ to you btw! Happy New Year my brother! - Lj
Well what about complete ones .... go back and do favorites from a certain year thats at least 40 plus videos there tons of content. haha rock on all the best to you and the family in 2015
***** Forty videos? What are you trying to do, freakin' kill me?! My make-up crew just left laughing hysterically saying something to the effect of there ain't enough foundation in the state to.....ah, nevermind. - Lj
Please react to the Later Years boxset! I'm so curious to see your response to the complete restoration and remix of the delicate sound of thunder concert as well as the new remix of a momentary lapse of reason. You'd be blown away
Just found the final cut at a car boot sale in Portugal got it for 4 Euro and wow what a great album I can see how this fits in with the wall I would say even part of the Wall ...
I just have to say, thank you for saying what you did about Dark Side. Don't get me wrong, it's a good album, and Pink Floyd are my favorite band of all time, but I've always preferred Meddle and Animals, while finding Dark Side to be just a tad over-hyped, but that's just my own personal opinion. In any event, awesome collection man!
hey brother lj,awesome pink floyd collection,i have no albums of there on vinyl(all on cassette)but i do plan to get the latest reissues. my favorite albums in no order are 1.meddle 2.wish you were here 3.the wall 4.dark side of the moon 5. atom heart mother. great video catch ya later-jesse
Hey Jesse - Originals used to be around every corner for a couple bucks but unfortunately the vinyl boom changed that quickly and caused originals to soar in price. I'm told the recent reissues sound fantastic and while I've not picked any of them up apart from the 3 shown here (from around 5 years ago), that should solve the problem nicely. Nice list of fav's, not a bad one in the bunch and Floyd is diverse enough to serve just about anyone. Hope all's well, thanks for swingin' in! - Lj
Great review - AGAIN! Funny though, I feel the opposite you do about THE WALL and DSOTM. Was wondering if you collected Gilmore and Waters as well? I think I enjoy DG albums as much, or more than PF. Should give ON AN ISLAND a listen if not already. And top on my list to acquire (vinyl) is PROS AND CONS OF HITCHHIKING.
Slowhanfan I really do like Gilmour's first solo lp, wasn't crazy about About Face and have not heard On an Isalnd but have heard great things about it. Live in Gdańsk is on the short list to pickup but is a little tricky to find on vinyl and pricey to boot. Never been much of a Waters fan, maybe time to give his solo stuff another shot and see what happens. Thanks for takin' the time to check this out! - Lj
Odly enough, i'm not into the first 3 as well. They are too... psychedelic, for me. But Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Animals are completely awesome in every possible way.
+Daniel Soares Those first 3 are definitely an acquired taste for fans of the later stuff (myself incl). On the other hand, there's lots of fans that swear the first 3 releases are it and nothing that comes after even registers. Agree with you entirely on Atom Heart, Meddle and Animals, all fantastic albums. Thanks for tunin' in. - Lj
how did you find a pulse album with the blinking light? I bought that cd when it first released and the light when out years ago. However, I wonder if there's away to open it and replace the battery.
joestradamus75 There were multiple variations produced, many of which had 1 or 2 replaceable AA batteries. Take a look inside the case and see if yours has them. - Lj
Ness from the city of onett I've never been a big 60's psych fan so it's not really surprising those first two aren't magical for me. Floyd's fantastic though in that they've been around so long and have so many different periods that there's enough Floyd for everyone.Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
I just got into PF. I was looking for PF vinyls and my Dad found one in his attic and gave it to me. It is a first pressing Wish You Were Here. Is that a good one to start on?
I'm a bit surprised, oh mighty Lj, and that is because you have surprisingly "modest" PF collection. I thought you would have like millions of releases by them! You may (or may not) know that I like PF too. My favourite PF album is "Animals" and I'm not sure why but I just love that album. It may be because the cover art and music "go hand in hand". I've seen that Battersea power station in real life a couple of times and it was an impressive sight - even in daylight! I think that "Wish You Were Here" is their best album. I think I agree with you that "Dark Side Of The Moon" is an overrated album but I love to listen to a SACD version of it with multi-channel 5.1 audio mix about once or twice a year. Takes me to "another dimention" if you know what I mean... I got the vinyl copy of "Pulse". I'm still not sure what got me to buy it in the first place when it was new but I'm glad I bought it... Go figure it out! I'd say that after all these years Pink Floyd has let me down once. I'm still very very dissapointed that there's still no multi-channel 5.1 mix of "The Wall". Not even the immersion box set of it has it which is a bit weird because "Wish You Were Here" & "Dark Side Of The Moon" immersion box sets have multi-channel mixes of the album. Well maybe that's just me... Side three of "The Wall" is probably their finest moment, Jarkko / MyVinylBar
MyVinylBar I honestly had no idea you were such the Floyd scholar Professor Jarkko! You've shown them omore than once, this much I know, but, man, you really know your Floyd! And so, you also agree that Gilmour's voice is once of the most soulful, soothing instruments ever created. As he takes the verse from Waters on Comfortably Numb, I get goosebumps every time. Its as close to an out of body experience as you can get. It's so apparent on The Wall Live in Berlin lp when Van Morrison takes over, it just fails. Pulse on vinyl and the Power Station up close and in person?! Jarkko, you dog! - Lj
I saw the wall in a theater in Orlando FL in 1987. As I was leaving, some high guy says, "goota pay this guy" and passes me a TEN as he passes me.. WOW cool, that covered my ticket and my popcorn. Great movie to see in a theatre.
Relics - the cover always freaked me out. As I get older, The Wall is really my favorite album from them (my 20s it was Meddle). I stop at The Final Cut with Floyd... for me, no Waters, no Floyd.
dixielandfarm That Relics cover was truly designed under the influence of something illicit! No diving in the post Waters pool huh? Give it a go Joe, maybe all things come with time. Happy New Year! - Lj
+richard abney Nice choice for the win Richard, couldn't agree more. The Wall just has it al together on every level and, for me, one of the over-hyped albums that is worthy of said hype! Thanks for tunin' in, have a great weekend! - Lj.
One of the great things about Pink Floyd is the diversity throughout their discography, to me The Wall is at the bottom 3 of their albums, with Wish You Were Here at the very top by a mile.
Hi LJ. great vid. I´m a early Pink Floyd fan, but my favorite record probably is Wish.... , and what about solo projects do you own some? If not please check On An Island from Mr. Gilmour. That record it´s close to perfection. Cheers!
***** Hi Rui! Wish is a great album. Some really cool moments there, a fantastic favorite. I don't rabidly collect the solo material but I do love Gilmour. His first solo album is a winter favorite. I didn't care for About Face much, haven't heard On an Island but have heard amazing things about it. Been eyeing Live in Gdańsk for quite awhile, may have to add it to the collection next year. Do you have it? How is it? Thanks for takin' the time to catch this, Happy New Year! - Lj
BioCYTE1 yes I have it LJ on digipack. The lp is to expensive a repress is more than welcome. Gilmour is one of my favorite guitar player so i have all their solo work to. My friend have I wish for you, for your wife and family an happy new year. Cheers from Portugal and see you soon.
Arijit Ray At this point, I really don't have any plans to pick up Endless River based on what I've heard of it and about it. If it were to show up used or on sale at around half retail, I'd probably grab it but until then, I'm really in no rush. Did you pick it up? Thoughts? Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Hey LJ. I think Dave Gilmore's issue with Atom heart is the issue of a Re-Issue thus Re-issuing the original issue of Dave Gilmore's issue, I'm speculating of course. The Wall: It's a great album but when I (and I have) become one with the content especially the lyrical content, it is the most depressing and dark album I have ever heard. Old mate Bob G is great in the movie. My fav is the Final Cut, The Gunners Dream Merry New Year To You & Yours LG
I really enjoyed your video, bro! I grew up with Pink Floyd, they are the ones that saved me from all the crappy mexican music in the 80's. Man, I have every single album of them, and I love all of their eras, I even love the psychedelic Barret era. My favourite is also The Wall but sometimes I prefer Wish You Were Here. I didn't see The Wall movie until 1995 but it really blew me away an it reaffirmed my preference for The Wall as best album. I have a quadraphonic edition of Atom Heart Mother, but the sound is a little odd, nevertheless I love it too, I'll make a transfer of it one of these days and upload it so you can listen to it. I also have a German edition on red vinyl of Animals, I think I did a video of it. One of my Christmas gifts was The Division Bell reissue on 2 LP's and you should really listen to it, its a huge improvement over the original single LP, I'm gonna make a video of it tomorrow so stay tuned for it. As always great video man, keep them coming. I've been wanting to ask you to make a video showing your David Bowie collection, if you haven't done one yet. Take care, man, and have a great new year. - IQ
Israel Quezada Bowie's a great idea for a collection video! I'll definitely film one next year (ha!). I have to completely agree that there's no bad period or album for Pink Floyd, just different periods and fans are normally divided between them. It's awesome, and probably quite rare, that someone truly loves all of it like you do. They've changed quite a bit and put out some really different albums. Like Rush for both of us, it's great to have a band that you just love everything they've ever recorded. Congrats on The Division Bell score, that's awesome! I've not heard it yet but it would have to be pretty convincing to get me to pick one up since it's not a cheap album and I have the original. I do remember the red vinyl edition of Animals, still jealous of that one! Thanks for takin' the time to catch this and leave your thoughts, Happy New Year brother! - Lj
Incredible collection!!! I wish I had more Pink Floyd. At the moment all I have by them is The Wall. I believe it's a first press, dad passed it on to me as I sold my other copy which was possibly a later copy and certainly not in the same condition as my dads. Funny that you mention DSOTM as being a bit overrated. That album is my curse album. Whenever I find it, it's trashed, has no record inside and/or is missing half the cover due to splits and such. If you dont like yours, I certainly would! Hahaha, I agree with Animals, a MUCH better album and probably a bit more creative to my ears. Good seeing ya LJ! Keep on rocking! Dave
LetThereBeVinyl Thanks Dave! Glad you dug this! I know you're newer to collecting and sadly, the vinyl boom has caused every shop owner in every country to price every Floyd album regardless of condition at somewhere near a zillion dollars (before tax). Don't worry, they're out there and they'll turn up when and where you least expect them for much less than you expected them too! Happy New Year brother! - Lj
chad schweigert Not really all that excited about it to be honest and at its price point, I probably won't be picking it up anytime soon. Let me know what you think if you grab it, interested in everyone's opinion of it. - Lj
+john forcum Hi John. Appreciate the kind words and feedback, thanks! Nazareth is a fantastic and sadly overlooked band. I have everything on vinyl up through "2XS" and except for the first couple which don't show up very often. Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
As soon as I heard he didn't like Dark Side and Wish You Were Here that much I knew he was a die hard Wall fan, the usual pattern.
the final cut was great when it came out.
I don’t care so much for dark side either but its more of a its over rated and its still like their fifth best album but I’m more of a animals dude
The wall is way too overrated just like dark side...
Alexander Clark please stop 😣
I'd have to say that the More Soundtrack is my favorite Pink Floyd album. Cymbaline, The Nile Song, and Green Is The Colour are three of their best and most overlooked songs.
More has always remained my favourite too
I 2nd this
Zach Haywood More is a great album!
Doesn't dig Dark side of the moon he is a fan of The Wall. Classic
Are people not allowed different opinions?
I’m piper and saucerful and meddle are my faves
Sorry, I am an old Floyd fan. I had all of these albums when I was in my teens and they got wiped when my Dad stacked them in a cardboard box and put them out in a shed at his place on a lake. Needless to say moisture and mold destroyed ALL my record collection to include a very nice complete set of Styx including records under the Wooden Nickel label.. I cried... I was deployed to Korea with the Air Force for a year when this happened. BUT... (My opinion) While Animals and Wish You Were Here are great albums. The creation of Dark Side of the Moon was the point where the band left the almost pure psychedelic and ventured closer towards the sound and performance that put them on the map. Rolling Stone and MTV did not create the wave of success Floyd enjoyed after it's release. MTV wasn't even a thing yet. The album is one I grew up with. I listened to it on cassette tape at night my first years in the service, again before MTV was even a thing. Other guys in the service from all over the country KNEW that album and it was a favorite of theirs as well.
I don't read Rolling Stone. I didn't watch MTV very much and I don't recall MTV really pushing Floyd more than say Dire Straights or Duran Duran or any number of more popish bands of the 80s. I was a drummer in a band a long way back and we would get drunk or high or both and talk music with other band members and players and Dark Side was one of the albums we all agreed was one of Floyd's best if not the best. Years later you want to credit Rolling Stone and MTV with success that Floyd earned then that is just the view point of someone NOT from the period in my opinion. The Wall, for me, was a great work but it was also a work of ego. It was according to many articles of the time when Floyd broke up the point where Waters and Gilmore really had a hard time. Waters especially pushed his contribution and demand for credit for his work on that album. Sorry for the book comment but you frivolously giving credit to Dark Side of the Moon to a crap publication like Rolling Stone which ended up spending more time on politics and social issues than music and MTV which started out fairly good but was consumed by crap music and agenda later is worth discussing in depth. It's not your personal favorite album. That's fine and fair. But to discredit and marginalize the impact on rock music that Dark Side had and still has is like saying Sergeant Pepper's of the Beatles and say.. Tommy from the Who were second rate and over hyped by media as well.
I think both Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall are masterpieces. But Dark side of the moon is just something else
I can't believe you'd like any post Waters Floyd over over Obscured by Clouds. We are at opposite ends of the Pink Floyd spectrum.
Mark Johnson I agree with you, Mark! I don’t like A momentary lapse of reason or the division bell. I Love Obscured by Clouds ☁️ especially Childhood’s End, Free Four, the title track, Mudmen and Stay.
@@georgedoughly6344 the partial re-recording and remaster of AMLOR is outstanding. I don't have the expensive box set which includes the whole album but the tracks on The Later Years album are excellent, like a lost PF album.
Thank you for sharing. Lots of good comments to keep in mind when looking for more of these vinyls. The best to you.
Very awesome Pink Floyd collection, they're one of my favorite bands. Love your videos.
Nick D Agreed, Floyd are just fantastic. Thanks Nick, appreciate the kind words and support! - Lj
One of my favorite bands from the 70's. Although I did not get into their post Waters period I did appreciate Gilmour's solo albums. Seeing them live in 1977 at Boston Garden and 1980's Wall show at Nassau Coliseum spoiled me Lj.
You have a collection here that a lot of Pink collectors would like to have for completion. Good to see you back .
Happy New Year to the coolest family southwest of Boston~
Rob/Boston
Paneeks1960 I love that Pink Floyd have endured and evolved long enough to have created not only an amazing body of work but a dedicated allegiance of fans that can all pledge loyalty to the albums that were the soundtrack to their most formative years. How many bands can claim that? Never saw them live, sincerely envious and wish the entire P1960 clan the safest, warmest and most awesome New Year's Eve ever. Staying in and fast asleep before the ball gets anywhere near the ground, that's most always the preferred choice here. Rock it on my behalf brother. - Lj
You are right Lj. The albums that PF released so far have surely played a large role in many a fan's life. I will never forget 1975 when my dad came home from work {daily mile and a half walk home from the Quincy Center T stop} and popped a Pink Floyd ticket for the Boston Music Hall on my kitchen table. He then asked me these words that I will never forget: "Are these guys any good"? My eyes lit up and I quickly answered "Yes". I was 14 years old and I was holding a ticket to see the 'Wish You Were Here' tour at the Music Hall. I will never forget the ticket price of $6.50. It was a pink ticket that was specially printed at the Music Hall for all of their shows. I have quite a few of them for artists like Marley, Bruce, Queen, www.mjwilsonphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/aerosmith_concert_ticket.jpg , Kinks, Heart, Dead, Bowie, etc...
My dad found the ticket on the ground as he was leaving the train station. It was impossible for me to go alone so I ended up selling the ticket for $12 to a kid on my hockey team. If I had only kept it the ticket would have been an incredible collectible.
Didn't we talk a few years back about watching some of the Twilight Zone Marathon on New Years Eve? I know that we both have shared more than a few New Years in the VC and we PM'd each other quite a few times around this time. Whatever you do before the ball drops I hope that Renee, yourself and the kids have fun doing so.
Thanks again for another great year of videos, the best comment replies on the planet and for your loyal friendship that means more to me than anything else.
R/B
Did someone turn the thermostats down outside? 79 days til spring!
Paneeks1960 Now that was one helluva story! I can only imagine your face as he put the tickets down and your jaw dropped! Wow, thank you, honestly, for sharing that! 79 days until spring? Is that all? I better get outside and enjoy winter while its here! Soon enough, another endless summer will be in full swing and you couldn't be more right, Mr. Serling and The Zone are in full swing here. Safe and Happy New Year my brother and than YOU for another year of videos, comments, friendship and support. Here's to another endless year! - Lj
Hey LJ! I'm commenting again as myvinyl2. Nice Pink Floyd collection as usual and wonderful explanation of every album. I'm surprised not to see the new album "The Endless River" in this video. I still enjoyed this video. Take care LJ!
myvinyl2 Hey there Marv! Great to hear from you, I caught your teaser video earlier and looking forward to some new posts. I've not yet picked up Endless River. I've heard enough mixed things about it to be trigger shy at it's current price point and the competition in the wishlist, as always, is fierce. I'm sure I'll grab it eventually when and if it turns up a little more reasonably priced. Thanks for tunin' in, hope the weekend was a great one! - Lj
great collection Lj .I love PINK FLOYD !!!
Happy New Year
obscured by clouds is amazing. track #5 is one of my fav floyd songs "whats uh the deal?" weird title but amazing song. also, i love animals. i was only 2 when it came out but would have loved to have seen them on their 1977 tour.
+jimmyjambhere Obscured by Clouds is a slow grower for me but Floyd's catalog is like that. Favorites for some and lower in the list for others. Never got the chance to see them live either, agreed, a shot to catch them on the Animals or Wall tour would have been awesome. - Lj
+BioCYTE1 I saw them on The Division Bell Tour at Foxboro. I skipped my Senior Prom for it! Don't regret it! Still best concert I ever attended. Three weeks before Pink Floyd, I saw Rush for the first of FIVE TIMES on their Counterparts tour.
I love animals:)
Nice collection. I'll have to post my Floyd collection on vinyl soon. Floyd have always been my favourite. My number 1 favourite Floyd album for me is; Obscured By Clouds. Always been a fan of that album. Followed closely by The Wall. Take care
My man room stuff Obscured by Clouds? Now that's one I've not heard many stand by as a favorite and its truly a fan of the band that will choose that one. That said, you've convinced me to spin it again so than you. Appreciate you takin' the time to check this out, Happy New Year! - Lj
LJ great feature on that Pink Floyd Vinyl collection. I see the big hole in mine I totally agree with you on those early albums. After seeing this I'm definitely looking for more Floyd stuff. Awesome LJ been waiting for this video since you found Division Bell original.
lovell andrew Thanks! Really glad to have it done, this one had been in the back of my mind for ages to do! It was a blast to flip and talk through them again as many of them don't come off the shelf very often. Thanks for takin' the time to catch this, Happy New Year brother! - Lj
Echoes from Meddle is a bloody masterpiece
Animals is my fav by floyd too.
+Dead Weight Fantastic record. Thanks for tunin' in. - Lj
Animals is my Favorite Pink Floyd Album too! I also really like Meddle, Atom heart mother, & The piper at the gates of dawn.
Mine too. By far.
Very nice video man. Really enjoyed your opinions on your favorite Pink Floyd albums.
I love Pink Floyd so much, i saw them on tour for The Wall and MLOR. I hope you have a Happy Newyear!
Peace
Brian/TVK
The Vinyl Kitchen Thanks Brian, really glad you dug it and appreciate the feedback! Happy New Year! - Lj
I had to see this video !! Great Floyd collection. I did not realize how many Floyd albums I am missing but then again I am not a fan of the Syd era. Now we have had our Floyd album chats, so no need to bring that back up ..lol But yes, Delicate Sound of Thunder is a killer live album. Still love spinning my copy of it. Momentary Lapse of Reason is a great find on vinyl. I never owned that album on vinyl till I joined the VC. Big upgrade from my cassette back in the day. Thanks to the reissue, I now have the Division Bell on vinyl. That was on my radar for a long time. Looks like all you need now it Endless River. Great Floyd collection bro !!
kingsdrummer Hey Bro! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out, I can see I have to lure you in these days! Next up, Genesis collection! Haha! No value there, just all the studio releases so nothing interesting! Honestly, I'm not planning on picking up Endless River at this point unless it turns up used cheap or both. Just doesn't seem like a must have album. Am I dead wrong? We've always been on the same Floyd page, not much use for the Syd era but like Rush or Marillion or even Genesis, Floyd fans are most always divided into very loyal camps! Thanks for takin' the time time hang out for this, hope all's well and Happy New Year brother! - Lj
BioCYTE1 What do you mean you have to "lure me in these days"...lol I do like Endless River but I doubt it would be a must have. A nice album to have playing in the background but no song really stands out. I thought it would be cool to do a Genesis vinyl video, but way to many of those. Hope you and your family have a Happy and Safe New Years !!
kingsdrummer Just playing, just good to hear from ya! Pink Floyd was a definite and easy lure for ya! Sounds like we're in the same boat on Endless River and I'm sure I'll grab it eventually. The price point sucks! Thanks for the wishes, hope you have a great one and you can always raise six cold ones to a copy of All The World's a Stage (another extremely pricey forthcoming reissue, wtf?!) on New Years Eve! - Lj
Nice job sir!!!! I like that you give your personnal take and feeling on these instead of what the general public thinks!! I only have three myself Atom Heart Mother,Meddle and The Wall.
5671050 I wouldn't say you only have, I'd say you only have 3 of the best! I can respect and admire a band that's lasted as long as they have and naturally, different camps will exist and have their favorites. Hope I didn't completely squat on any given one, they're all good but some are just great. Thanks for the support this year Vince, it's been awesome getting to know ya, Happy New Year! - Lj
Great Collection!
"The Film" is on my wantlist!
Happy New Year!
Axel
Axel Book Hey Axel! The Film is such a cool little rarity in the catalog that the cover condition didn't even put me off like it normally would. I'm sure I've seen them for sale online over the years, definitely recommend it as a cool companion to the movie. Always great to hear from ya, thanks for the support this year and a Happy New Year to ya! - Lj
Hello Cousin LJ! Man,you are so damn lucky! Man=O-Man...I sold all my 'Pink Floyd' in the early 90s (I know,I know...)and have been trying to locate 'Ummagumma','Atom Heart...' & 'Meddle' and I just can't locate them (in my area) and if I do...the sellers are asking an arm & a leg for them...***Yes,I have them ALL on CD but damn,I MISS MY VINYL!*** Great video my friend,as always...but this one really touched a cord with me...they were such an important band to me in the early 70s...
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I shall take this time to wish all the best for the New Year my friend...and please,please continue to do your great videos. They always make my day! Cheers! Ol' Uncle Marty
Martin Noreau Uncle Marty! So glad you found the time to catch this and share the memories, really great to hear from ya and I hope all's well! Floyd are amazing in that they've evolved and endured so long that they have legions upon legions of devoted fans and near anyone born since the 50's has had the opportunity to spend some quality formative teenage time with them and develop a relationship with at least one or two releases. Quite simply, there just is no bad Floyd release, just some more favorited amongst groups tan others. The vinyl boom has massacred prices for sure but either more reissues will come or the bubble will eventually burst as do all. Either way, hang tight and they'll soon be back in that collection! Safe and Happy New Year to the Uncle and Aunt, all the best and many thanks for all the support this year! - Lj
As always,very well put! Cheers to you my friend (ahhh...cousin!) Ol' Uncle Marty
Hey Lj, great review, as always!!! Yes, Animals & Wall rule. Thanks for all your cool videos & a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Best regards from Switzerland.......Bruno
Bruno Ender Lee Hi Bruno! Cool to hear that we share some favorite Floyd albums! Winter time in Switzerland, surrounded by snow and quiet is a fantastic time to spin Animals! Thanks for the kind words and support, Happy New Year! - Lj
Great timing with this review - HAD to watch since I just saw El Monstero. There's so much PF I'm not familiar with, so it's great to hear your opinions about their catalog. The Wall was one I found during a Goodwill dig and is my only PF to date, other than what I have on iTunes. The one I found doesn't have the writing on the cover, so it's an earlier pressing. But it was in great shape and sounds perfect! Really cool "pulse" CD!
Jill Randall The Wall in nice shape at Goodwill?! Someone's been a very good girl to have the record Gods smile down upon her pretty little face quite like that! Really glad to hear you had a good time at the show and thank you for listening to me yap on for over 18/min (yikes!) about albums I've owned for years! Now that's some kind of catch! Happy New Year Jill! - Lj
After seeing this video I went to the record store and picked up the Division Bell :) Thanks for the much needed inspiration.
***** Glad you dug it, happy to help! Sheesh, I should be on commission! Hope you enjoy it and thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Dark side of the Moon is still my favourite album of all time, Wish You Were Here is a very very close second for me
Obscured by clouds deserves another revisiting!!😎🤘
loved the video but.......Dark Side is my all time favourite album from any artist tho.....so what you said hurt me deeply 😂
With a catalog as deep as PF's, there's bound to be differences in opinion. Remember, I didn't say that I don't like DSOTM, just that it's overrated (and the same could be said of The Wall). Thanks for catchin' this, glad you dug it! - Lj
Same here😂
+BioCYTE1 They're not overrated at all. Every song in this album is beautiful and made to perfection so I dont know what your talking about. Every top 10's list also describes TDSOTM as the best album of all time
It's his opinion. He's entitled to it. Plenty of people don't connect with DSOTM as much as they do with, for example, WYWH or Animals or Meddle or The Wall or even the Syd era. Just because a bunch of lists put it as "the best album of all time" doesn't make it so. These things are subjective.
The Wall, TDSOTM, WYWH are overrated.
Perfect in every way, but still overrated.
And that comes from a guy who loves them all.
Syd era on the other hand is so underrated.
Great collection ! I haven't listened to Animals in years , never liked it too much but I'll put it on today and see what happens!
helmut Diggy Right on! That album is amazing, I only first heard it in the mid-80s after really getting into The Wall. Hope it works out and I didn't overhype it! Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Again some nice talking man. Pink Floyd is just magic i remember first time hearing Wish you were hear and i was just so blown away by the emotions in Crazy Diamond still my fav album by them.Couldnt agree more about Dark side of the moon its just too much commercialised but much by the band its self then by the media. Happy New Year may it be better than the last one to all of ya from the VC and your loved ones!
Phantom Collector of vinyl We couldn't be more aligned. It truly seems far too many people hold Dark Side on the 100' pedestal and those same people either haven't heard it or haven't heard the other albums they're saying it's better than. Crazy what TV and Radio can lead us to believe! Thanks for tunin' in, great to hear from ya, Happy New Year! - Lj
These collection videos kinda make me sad b/c although I think it's nice that vinyl has been appreciated and embraced by more and more people of late (Thank you, vinyl boom). I can't help but remember finding my copies of these albums and paying no more than $5 a piece ($10 or so for a new copy) And to look now on Amazon that you can't acquire a copy of Meddle for less than $50 blows my mind. Remember Dark Side and The Wall LP's by the bin fulls. Hindsight, huh? I know this topic is pretty played out but it never ceases to amaze me anyway. Great video as always. Keep it at eleven!! \m/
The Void No kidding! I see Floyd in the shops these days and just cringe at the prices. Condition is irrelevant, if it says Pink Floyd on it, $50! It's insane! The boom will taper off, nothing like that lasts forever and prices will again fall as new converts decide its not for them and they head back for the safety of their iPads. The trick is going to be being there at the right time to scoop up the pricey reissues they've offloaded in the process! Thanks for takin' the time to catch this, Happy New Year! - Lj
you wanna know a good way of getting records for the cheap? Go to garage sales. Even if they don't have any records out, ask them if they have any old records that they wanna get rid of. A lot of people will be surprised that anyone wants records. Unfortunately you'll run into a lot of Gospel and scratched up records, but sometimes you'll find a gem.
I agree with ***** the records are a lot cheaper om eBay
i have Atom Heart Mother on lp and it a Quadraphonic copy
I'm
Looking for a copy of atom heart mother on viynl:)
I Love Atom Heart Mother!
But unless you have a quadraphonic system, what's the point?
LJ, you nailed it bro! We have the exact same taste in Pink Floyd. My absolute fav is Animals followed by Momentary Lapse of Reason. I really need to find Delecate Sound on vinyl. That was a great concert-I wore out the VHS I had in the early 90s. I also need to find that Wall "the Film" edition. There were so many tracks that were different variations/re-recordings from the movie that are much different than the actual album. I wish I could score an OG copy of Division Bell for $10 like you did.... :)
ejd715 Hey! I've only once seen The Film in the shops and it was the one I showed. It was only a few bucks at the time too so it was a no-brainer. Thanks to the vinyl boom, anything that says Pink or Floyd on it is instantly tagged forty dollars regardless of condition, its nuts. Glad to hear we're on the same Floyd wavelength, those two albums are just amazing. Happy New Year! - Lj
you need to listen to piper at the gates again. it is the greatest composition ever.
AwesomeUnknownDude Yes, it is a Masterpiece!
Really great collection ! And so, what do you think of the new delicate sound of thunder release ?
Careful with that axe Eugene is the best of the older Floyd.
Joshua Karpowich great song could be considered the first Shoegaze-like song. Ahead of its time by like 20 years.
Joshua Karpowich yes, that is an Excellent Song! I Love it!
What a way to finish up my New Years Day LJ video watching onslaught than with a Pink Floyd Collection video! You just knew DarkSideOfTheZoom was going to tune in to this one! I have to agree with you that the first couple of Floyd records don't really do anything for me, I guess I just really like the influence Gilmour has had on that band. I fluked finding a near mint 1975 "Gigi" cover Japanese pressing of Ummagumma last year, I nearly flipped out! I love the semi-"droste" effect that they did with that cover too. "A pretty widespread reaching reach"? Yeah, I know what you meant! DSOTM overrated? Nah! Well, yeah, maybe! DSOTM, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall are the ones for me...and Division Bell slips in the back door. Your original release of Division Bell is sick! This was a nice tribute for The Floyd bro, I enjoyed this one a lot! Thanks! D.
DarkSideOfTheZoom The last in line! Hello? Dio? DSOTZ, not overrated (underrated actually) DSOTM, yes, wildly overrated. Its amazing how many folks I've heard claim its their best album but when asked what they thought of The Final Cut, they've never heard it. So exactly how then could it be their best again? The media hype over the years and classic rock radio have just destroyed that album to the point where the opening notes of "Money" have me reaching for the volume knob and down it goes. I just can't do it anymore. I'm with you, Animals, The Wall and a backdoor entry (ew) for The Division Bell. Have not yet grabbed Endless River (have you?) but I'm sure its inevitable! And with that, you've officially spent more time with me in the past 24 hours than I've spent with myself and for that, I offer my apologies sir! - Lj
BioCYTE1
Yeah, Money is kind of like Stairway to Heaven on classic rock radio..."oh, they're playing this one again, I haven't heard this before!". Have not got Endless River yet, I'm sure, like you, it will be on the shelves soon enough. I must apologise for 24 hours worth of DSOTZ comments, oh your poor typing hands!! D.
Very impressive collection LJ! I'm still missing many of their albums on vinyl. My all time favorite Pink Floyd album is Wish You Were Here. The documentary of making the album just came from the TV a while ago and it was brilliant too.
I really love The Wall as well. I have an original (or very very early) US pressing of it, but I'd like to get an upgrade copy. Would you recommend the recent reissue? At least that's still pretty easy to find in NM condition. :D
By the way, I saw the Wall movie as a planetarium show couple of years ago and that really blew my mind. If you ever have a change to see that, make sure not to miss it. It was abso-fucking-lutely amazing! That was an experience that I'll never forget.
I enjoy the Division Bell even though many people seem to dislike it. I have it on cassette and it sounds great. I must grab the reissue, but that costs 34,95 € (about 42.5 USD) at my local record store!
Anyway, I should try to find more Pink Floyd records online. They are almost impossible to find in the wild for a reasonable price around here.
Thanks for sharing your collection LJ! Have a good rest of the year. And even better next year!
By the way, I must put the Animals on. It's quite a while since I've listened to it. Thanks for reminding!
TheVinylCorner Wow, someone digs Floyd more than I thought to pen a response like that! Its always been very interesting to me to see how many different groups of Floyd fans there are but a band that has changed as much as they have and has existed as long as they have is naturally going to have a catalog full of favorites and fans that will rabidly defend their favorites. I don't hate any single album, just have some that I like or dislike more than others. Of those three copies of The Wall I have, they all sound the same. The reissue is a nice way to own a brand spanking new copy that no one has ever touched and is dead mint. For that, I'd say go for it, grab a cold beer and get yourself comfortably numb my brother. Happy New Year Mikko, have a great night with the family and cheers to 2015! - Lj
TheVinylCorner There's never a bad time to spin Animals! - Lj
Great Collection.
+Esther Vinyl Thanks, glad you enjoyed! - Lj
+BioCYTE1 i have dark side of the moon on viynl that my uncle gave me and im trying to find the wall on viynl and also my uncle has a pink floyd collection as well
Wow, amazing Floyd collection Lj!
My favorite Floyd album has to be Wish You Were Here but actually there´s no bad album. I also had my problems with the very early Floyd albums first. Saucerful e.g. is an album you have to grow to. In my case it turned out a fantastic psychy prog-album. Love your Devision Bell 1st press. it gets traded for prices beyond good and bad. I was hoping this might change after the re-release lately but nope - the prices are insaine after all.
ryanrocks84 Hey Ben! Still need to catch your latest post, will tonight! Glad you dug this. I've just never been able to connect with Piper and Saucerful for some reason. I don't think they're bad though. What an amazing band that can have so many different periods and different but similar sounds! Didn't realize Division Bell was still that valuable, normally the reissue kills it! Thanks for tunin' in brother, have an awesome day! - Lj
The Wall is your favorite album because you grew up with it, it is an indelible stamp on your mind, you can't help yourself. It happened to me with Dark Side smoking pot in grade 9 and listening to in over and over. Check out all your stuff, good work.
Take care Doug.
+Doug Campbell Couldn't agree more Doug and on the back of that, can easily understand/appreciate how DSOTM is to you what The Wall is to me. Absolutely dig the memories, thanks for tunin' in, appreciate the kind words! - Lj
@@BioCYTE1 I like your shirt
I am so jealous look at all those records you have behind you *gasps for air*! the only PF I have so far on vinyl is Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and Richard Wright's first solo album Wet Dream. I really want to get my hands on his and Dave Harris's 1984 album Zee Identity but that record is well over $200
Hey Lj, I agree with you on the Syd Barrett period,i only have Relics and though i like it i've never felt need to get anything more. I heard Piper 30 years ago,but have never heard Umma Gumma,More or Saucerful.
I have a higher appreciation for Dark Side,it's my fave just as are The Wall and Wish You Were Here.And maybe i should add A Momentary Lapse also.
I mentioned this on my most recent video,but i heard Animals 30 years ago and i didn't like it.This year i thought i'd give it another chance and it turned out to be one of the best finds of the year. Also just before christmas i found Delicate Sound Of Thunder.So far i've only listened to it once,but i noticed some of the songs had quite a different versions,extended live workings.
Take care and Happy New Year,
Pasi
6758pasi Hi there Pasi! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out, it ran a little long but I guess it is what it is. I remember you telling me about how Animals had found you again this year and the time was right. I love when things like that happen. Pink Floyd is amazing in that they've existed and changed long enough to have reached millions in their formative years and in the process have created multiple camps of fans who all seem to share different favorites. At the end of the day, no album is bad, just some are better to certain people than others. Hope all's well and warm, give Delicate Sound of Thunder another spin for me and have a Happy New Year! - Lj
Hey LJ, now we are talking, I'm a huge floyd fan and somewhat of a floyd apologist - i like everything they've done aside from the endless river. I have all those albums + "works" and "more" but minus delicate sound. Its too bad the vinyl boom made their prices ridiculous, but i feel its a bubble that will burst. $30 for used vinyl isn't sustainable. Just like you the wall was my gateway, and am a huge fan of animals w wish you were here my fav. One side note- original press of meddle didn't have the band name or album name on cover. Happy new year, may 2015 bring you more of your vinyl want list!
Bryan Fitts Hi Bryan! I too have no plans on picking up Endless River based on what I've heard of it and about it so far. It's also not a cheap one so until a reasonably priced used copy turns up, I'm comfortable without it. I couldn't agree more about the vinyl boom completely screwing the hell out of anything Floyd. It's good for owners, horrible for buyers, I've seen VG copies of Animals shooting for $50?! Thankfully I've had these all for a long time and didn't pay anything close to that for them. Agreed, the bubble will eventually pop and labels all get back on track! Thanks for tunin' in, Happy New Year! - Lj
I love how honest you are on this video... hahaha
Hi LJ. Great video. Always good to learn about one of the best bands in the world. I like Pink Floyd, but I only have a couple of their albums (Meddle and DSOTM). I need to get some more.
Did you ever try watching the wizard of oz with DSOTM playing at the same time? It's pretty cool. A lot of things match at the beginning of the movie.
The Vinyl Potato Hey there. The Wizard of Oz/DSOTM legend ha been around forever hasn't it? I remember trying it with friends in high school in the late 80's/early 90's. Never really could get it to line up but with the dawn of the interent, some really cool fan pages were made that had some primitive screen captures of them aligned which was always a cool read. Thanks for tunin' in and best of luck building up that Floyd vinyl collection! - Lj
I've never really been into Pink Floyd, although I never heard them on vinyl so maybe that's the issue. Maybe once I get to hear them on vinyl I will gain an appreciation. Thanks for sharing
Chuck Canuck Good point. There are lots of bands/albums out there that just don't work on certain formats. Find a copy of The Wall and jump in head first! - Lj
Very nice collection of pink Floyd and recently picked up delicate sound of thunder for 8 Euro bit tatty but a great album...
+Mark Tedman Glad you dug it. The vinyl boom has jacked Floyd prices through the roof. Nice score at 8 EU and fantastic album. Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Finally somebody putting the Wall as their favorite Pink Floyd album.
Nice video!. I picked up PULSE on vinyl from the now defunct CDnow.com ( I found it funny they sold Vinyl) when I was pre-teen It was the first Floyd Record I had to the chance to buy brand new I can't remember what I paid i'm assuming around 40 dollars, It sounds amazing, and also has an additional track Astronomy Domain and having the book actually being full sized is awesome..... I never thought it would be worth so much, those mid to late 90's records go for a pretty penny and it sits next to my copy of NIN The Fragile vinyl copy...
..
raceranger88 Wow, couple of really great finds. I do regret not having grabbed Pulse of vinyl when it was released but even at that point there was such a decline in vinyl available in shops in the US that I'd still have had to go to a handful just to find one. To boot, if memory serves, it was around $69 or so when it was released and I probably wouldn't have been interested at that point given the lack of interest in The Division Bell. Of course, had I known then what I know now, different story! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out! - Lj
I like your Pink Floyd shirt
My all time favorite Pink Floyd album is atom heart mother and the wall is my 2nd favorite
Great Pink Floyd collection Lj.. Wow, I pretty much agree with you all the way about these albums. Maybe I rank DSOTM a little higher than you. It's at the 4th spot on my Top 5 Pink Floyd album list. But The Wall is my absolute favorite one. What a monster album that is :)
Great to see you man :)
My Analog Corner - Carsten Olsen And so I share a favorite album with the man himself?! Right on! No disrespect to DSOTM, just played into the ground on classic rock radio and held way to high by Rolling Stone and Billboard to really want to spin or hear very much anymore. At the end of the day, it's an amazing band that can last that long and evolve as much as they did and have and create legions and legions of devoted fans in the process so I gotta hand it to them! Thanks for an amazing year of support, comments and videos Carsten, Happy New Year to you my brother! - Lj
Yo Lj, Great bunch of Floyd albums there. Our opinions vary quite a bit on what floyd we prefer best but that is just splitting hairs it's all great! Rock on Happy 2015 --- Del
doctordel Its all good brother, there's enough Floyd to go around. Look at it this way, we meet up at a shop and instead of fighting over Floyd, I'm handing $10 pristine copies of Piper to you and your tossing $10 NM copies of Animals to me. Win/win! Thanks for takin' the time to check this out, Happy New Year to you both! - Lj
PINK FLOYD “PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN” mono Vinyl LP
Every album Pink Floyd album has been reissued except for PULSE. They all sound fantastic!!!!!!
That's a nice collection you there LJ haha
I have to share this....Yesterday i saw a GREAT Pink Floyd Tribute band. "P-Floyd". Amazing show and great musicians! They had a storyteller between the songs. So you got a great show with awesome music and a "pinkflodhistorian lesson"! What more could you ask for? =) Killer collection brother. Have you picked up David Gilmours latest album yet? I havent heard it, but i will soon! Take care / Freddy
+Fredrik Svensson Brother Freddy! Very cool to hear you caught a Floyd tribute show, right on! About as close as you'll come to seeing the band at this point and I'm sure it was a great show! Those are some big shoes to fill so I have no doubt they do a good job. I've not heard or picked up Gilmour's new album yet, no. Hearing great things about it though so it's on the list! Thanks for settin' some time aside to check this out, shine on you crazy Swedish diamond! - Lj
The Final Cut is one of my favorites.
+neemguy81 Deep album, cool choice. - Lj
Well done sir LJ....Cool to see what you have and your thoughts on the Pink Floyd. I have been on the fence for Endless River but probably will get it ..how can you not right ? anyway would like to see more of these as I value your opinion and reviews. So keep on riding the gravy train bro !! -V
***** Gravy Train ahoy! Thanks VK, for stomachin' this one, the time got a little away from me but I guess it is what it is with lots of ground to cover. I've not grabbed Endless River and at its price point, probably won't until I catch it on sale or find a used copy around half of what its goin' for. Just in no rush based on what I've heard so far. I don't doubt its good, just some fierce competition in the wantlist! Haven't done one of these collection vids in awhile, really tired of them dating themselves almost immediately! Maybe some more in the future, any suggestions? Leaving LZ to you btw! Happy New Year my brother! - Lj
Well what about complete ones .... go back and do favorites from a certain year thats at least 40 plus videos there tons of content. haha rock on all the best to you and the family in 2015
***** Forty videos? What are you trying to do, freakin' kill me?! My make-up crew just left laughing hysterically saying something to the effect of there ain't enough foundation in the state to.....ah, nevermind. - Lj
I miss your videos!
Please react to the Later Years boxset! I'm so curious to see your response to the complete restoration and remix of the delicate sound of thunder concert as well as the new remix of a momentary lapse of reason. You'd be blown away
Just found the final cut at a car boot sale in Portugal got it for 4 Euro and wow what a great album I can see how this fits in with the wall I would say even part of the Wall ...
Cool score, always when you least expect it. Congrats! - Lj
I just have to say, thank you for saying what you did about Dark Side. Don't get me wrong, it's a good album, and Pink Floyd are my favorite band of all time, but I've always preferred Meddle and Animals, while finding Dark Side to be just a tad over-hyped, but that's just my own personal opinion. In any event, awesome collection man!
Regardless of popularity, gotta call em' as ya see em', right? Thanks for swingin' in, glad ya dug the vid! - Lj
hey brother lj,awesome pink floyd collection,i have no albums of there on vinyl(all on cassette)but i do plan to get the latest reissues.
my favorite albums in no order are
1.meddle
2.wish you were here
3.the wall
4.dark side of the moon
5. atom heart mother.
great video
catch ya later-jesse
Hey Jesse - Originals used to be around every corner for a couple bucks but unfortunately the vinyl boom changed that quickly and caused originals to soar in price. I'm told the recent reissues sound fantastic and while I've not picked any of them up apart from the 3 shown here (from around 5 years ago), that should solve the problem nicely. Nice list of fav's, not a bad one in the bunch and Floyd is diverse enough to serve just about anyone. Hope all's well, thanks for swingin' in! - Lj
Awesome video and collection, LJ ! btw My copy of Umba Gumba has the GiGi art work :) Peace and Happy New Year. ~ Shawn
EXP1 Umba Gumba, haha! Thanks Shawn, Happy New Year to you all ya Gigi cover ownin' SOB! - Lj
BioCYTE1 Haha ;) And Thanks , Man.
EXP1 Be well brother ;-)
Wow you saw the wall when you were 10 years old... Even though it was rated R... Badass
Trying to get the wall the film on vinyl how much would I pay on average for a copy
I was just starting to like You and You had to Say That!! Good Luck Pal.
Great review - AGAIN! Funny though, I feel the opposite you do about THE WALL and DSOTM. Was wondering if you collected Gilmore and Waters as well? I think I enjoy DG albums as much, or more than PF. Should give ON AN ISLAND a listen if not already. And top on my list to acquire (vinyl) is PROS AND CONS OF HITCHHIKING.
Slowhanfan I really do like Gilmour's first solo lp, wasn't crazy about About Face and have not heard On an Isalnd but have heard great things about it. Live in Gdańsk is on the short list to pickup but is a little tricky to find on vinyl and pricey to boot. Never been much of a Waters fan, maybe time to give his solo stuff another shot and see what happens. Thanks for takin' the time to check this out! - Lj
Finally, someone said it about TDSOM :) Subscribed.
Gotta call em' as ya see em' right? Thanks for the sub and for swingin' in! - Lj
It it's my fav but I don't listen to it very offten
Odly enough, i'm not into the first 3 as well. They are too... psychedelic, for me. But Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Animals are completely awesome in every possible way.
+Daniel Soares Those first 3 are definitely an acquired taste for fans of the later stuff (myself incl). On the other hand, there's lots of fans that swear the first 3 releases are it and nothing that comes after even registers. Agree with you entirely on Atom Heart, Meddle and Animals, all fantastic albums. Thanks for tunin' in. - Lj
I LOVE PINK FLOYD. Just by watching this video, you really are a Pink Floyd Fan! :)
Glad you dug it Antonio, thanks for settin' some time aside to catch this! - Lj
how did you find a pulse album with the blinking light? I bought that cd when it first released and the light when out years ago. However, I wonder if there's away to open it and replace the battery.
joestradamus75 There were multiple variations produced, many of which had 1 or 2 replaceable AA batteries. Take a look inside the case and see if yours has them. - Lj
BioCYTE1 Ok, I checked inside my case. It had 2 AA batteries that were leaking acid. I cleaned it and replaced the batteries. Now it works! Thanks.
Great video. I was suprised that you didn't like their first two albums (they being two of my favorites) but i guess everybody has different opinions.
Ness from the city of onett I've never been a big 60's psych fan so it's not really surprising those first two aren't magical for me. Floyd's fantastic though in that they've been around so long and have so many different periods that there's enough Floyd for everyone.Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Great comments man...you catch the wall live roger waters recent tours?
+luma62183 Unfortunately I didn't, no. Glad you dug the video, appreciate the kind words! - Lj
Which pressing do you have of Relics? It does not have the common cover, and I have never seen that alternate cover you have before.
I just got into PF. I was looking for PF vinyls and my Dad found one in his attic and gave it to me. It is a first pressing Wish You Were Here. Is that a good one to start on?
The PlayStation Gamer yes! cant go wrong there
Not a bad way to start. You should get The Wall and DSOTM. Maybe go for Animals, but gradually get into the more obscure records.
Awesome
I'm a bit surprised, oh mighty Lj, and that is because you have surprisingly "modest" PF collection. I thought you would have like millions of releases by them! You may (or may not) know that I like PF too. My favourite PF album is "Animals" and I'm not sure why but I just love that album. It may be because the cover art and music "go hand in hand". I've seen that Battersea power station in real life a couple of times and it was an impressive sight - even in daylight!
I think that "Wish You Were Here" is their best album.
I think I agree with you that "Dark Side Of The Moon" is an overrated album but I love to listen to a SACD version of it with multi-channel 5.1 audio mix about once or twice a year. Takes me to "another dimention" if you know what I mean...
I got the vinyl copy of "Pulse". I'm still not sure what got me to buy it in the first place when it was new but I'm glad I bought it... Go figure it out!
I'd say that after all these years Pink Floyd has let me down once. I'm still very very dissapointed that there's still no multi-channel 5.1 mix of "The Wall". Not even the immersion box set of it has it which is a bit weird because "Wish You Were Here" & "Dark Side Of The Moon" immersion box sets have multi-channel mixes of the album. Well maybe that's just me...
Side three of "The Wall" is probably their finest moment,
Jarkko / MyVinylBar
MyVinylBar I honestly had no idea you were such the Floyd scholar Professor Jarkko! You've shown them omore than once, this much I know, but, man, you really know your Floyd! And so, you also agree that Gilmour's voice is once of the most soulful, soothing instruments ever created. As he takes the verse from Waters on Comfortably Numb, I get goosebumps every time. Its as close to an out of body experience as you can get. It's so apparent on The Wall Live in Berlin lp when Van Morrison takes over, it just fails. Pulse on vinyl and the Power Station up close and in person?! Jarkko, you dog! - Lj
I saw the wall in a theater in Orlando FL in 1987. As I was leaving, some high guy says, "goota pay this guy" and passes me a TEN as he passes me.. WOW cool, that covered my ticket and my popcorn. Great movie to see in a theatre.
+Robert Twiddy Nice memory to tie to it! The Wall at the theater would definitely be a cool experience, thanks for the story and for tunin' in! - Lj
Relics - the cover always freaked me out. As I get older, The Wall is really my favorite album from them (my 20s it was Meddle). I stop at The Final Cut with Floyd... for me, no Waters, no Floyd.
dixielandfarm That Relics cover was truly designed under the influence of something illicit! No diving in the post Waters pool huh? Give it a go Joe, maybe all things come with time. Happy New Year! - Lj
I agree Lj I wasn't a big fan of the earlier Floyd stuff later Floyd was much better. The wall is my absolute favorite.
+richard abney Nice choice for the win Richard, couldn't agree more. The Wall just has it al together on every level and, for me, one of the over-hyped albums that is worthy of said hype! Thanks for tunin' in, have a great weekend! - Lj.
You’re missing “MORE” from 1969. It came out after A Saucerful of Secrets but before Ummagumma. A Great Pink Floyd album.
One of the great things about Pink Floyd is the diversity throughout their discography, to me The Wall is at the bottom 3 of their albums, with Wish You Were Here at the very top by a mile.
Love Meddle and Animals, but I always go back the The Dark Side.
You said La Vallée almost perfectly man!
Christophe Charest-Latif Right on! Judging from your last name, that's a huge compliment, thanks! - Lj
great band my 4 favorite dark side of the moon animal s the wall wish you were here
I love every Pink Floyd album from 1967-1977. The wall is kinda spotty for me, but I do like it. I don’t really care for anything after that.
Hi LJ. great vid. I´m a early Pink Floyd fan, but my favorite record probably is Wish.... , and what about solo projects do you own some? If not please check On An Island from Mr. Gilmour. That record it´s close to perfection. Cheers!
***** Hi Rui! Wish is a great album. Some really cool moments there, a fantastic favorite. I don't rabidly collect the solo material but I do love Gilmour. His first solo album is a winter favorite. I didn't care for About Face much, haven't heard On an Island but have heard amazing things about it. Been eyeing Live in Gdańsk for quite awhile, may have to add it to the collection next year. Do you have it? How is it? Thanks for takin' the time to catch this, Happy New Year! - Lj
BioCYTE1 yes I have it LJ on digipack. The lp is to expensive a repress is more than welcome. Gilmour is one of my favorite guitar player so i have all their solo work to. My friend have I wish for you, for your wife and family an happy new year. Cheers from Portugal and see you soon.
***** Thanks so much Rui and a very Happy New Year to you as well! - Lj
I have this weird EMI Japanese pressing of Meddle on clear blue vinyl. Don't really know what to make of it haha
alex mendez If nothing else, sounds like a cool collectible! - Lj
Might be a boot!
Garrison Haynes yeah it def is! still cool, I suppose! Plays great, at least.
+alex mendez :D I love boots! I love to hear how different bands present their songs than just playing studio versions!
Where did you get that Pink Floyd shirt?
Do you by any chance have a Van Halen and a Rattle collection.
I ment Ratt.sorry.
Pink floyd piper at the gates of dawn (1967 pressing) is worth around $100 if it's in good shape
What about Endless River Lj?Dont you have plans to pick a copy of their last album? :-)
Arijit Ray At this point, I really don't have any plans to pick up Endless River based on what I've heard of it and about it. If it were to show up used or on sale at around half retail, I'd probably grab it but until then, I'm really in no rush. Did you pick it up? Thoughts? Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
Hey LJ.
I think Dave Gilmore's issue with Atom heart is the issue of a Re-Issue thus Re-issuing the original issue of Dave Gilmore's issue, I'm speculating of course.
The Wall: It's a great album but when I (and I have) become one with the content especially the lyrical content, it is the most depressing and dark album I have ever heard. Old mate Bob G is great in the movie.
My fav is the Final Cut, The Gunners Dream
Merry New Year To You & Yours
LG
bancombe1 Well, since you put it that way, it makes perfect sense. ;-) Thanks and Happy New Year to you as well! - Lj
I really enjoyed your video, bro! I grew up with Pink Floyd, they are the ones that saved me from all the crappy mexican music in the 80's. Man, I have every single album of them, and I love all of their eras, I even love the psychedelic Barret era. My favourite is also The Wall but sometimes I prefer Wish You Were Here. I didn't see The Wall movie until 1995 but it really blew me away an it reaffirmed my preference for The Wall as best album. I have a quadraphonic edition of Atom Heart Mother, but the sound is a little odd, nevertheless I love it too, I'll make a transfer of it one of these days and upload it so you can listen to it. I also have a German edition on red vinyl of Animals, I think I did a video of it.
One of my Christmas gifts was The Division Bell reissue on 2 LP's and you should really listen to it, its a huge improvement over the original single LP, I'm gonna make a video of it tomorrow so stay tuned for it.
As always great video man, keep them coming. I've been wanting to ask you to make a video showing your David Bowie collection, if you haven't done one yet. Take care, man, and have a great new year. - IQ
Israel Quezada Bowie's a great idea for a collection video! I'll definitely film one next year (ha!). I have to completely agree that there's no bad period or album for Pink Floyd, just different periods and fans are normally divided between them. It's awesome, and probably quite rare, that someone truly loves all of it like you do. They've changed quite a bit and put out some really different albums. Like Rush for both of us, it's great to have a band that you just love everything they've ever recorded. Congrats on The Division Bell score, that's awesome! I've not heard it yet but it would have to be pretty convincing to get me to pick one up since it's not a cheap album and I have the original. I do remember the red vinyl edition of Animals, still jealous of that one! Thanks for takin' the time to catch this and leave your thoughts, Happy New Year brother! - Lj
Where did you get that the wall 1982 soundtrack?
Can you do an AC/DC collection video
Will add it to the list, thanks for the suggestion. - Lj
Incredible collection!!! I wish I had more Pink Floyd. At the moment all I have by them is The Wall. I believe it's a first press, dad passed it on to me as I sold my other copy which was possibly a later copy and certainly not in the same condition as my dads. Funny that you mention DSOTM as being a bit overrated. That album is my curse album. Whenever I find it, it's trashed, has no record inside and/or is missing half the cover due to splits and such. If you dont like yours, I certainly would! Hahaha, I agree with Animals, a MUCH better album and probably a bit more creative to my ears. Good seeing ya LJ! Keep on rocking! Dave
LetThereBeVinyl Thanks Dave! Glad you dug this! I know you're newer to collecting and sadly, the vinyl boom has caused every shop owner in every country to price every Floyd album regardless of condition at somewhere near a zillion dollars (before tax). Don't worry, they're out there and they'll turn up when and where you least expect them for much less than you expected them too! Happy New Year brother! - Lj
what about the new one? I am think about getting it.
chad schweigert Not really all that excited about it to be honest and at its price point, I probably won't be picking it up anytime soon. Let me know what you think if you grab it, interested in everyone's opinion of it. - Lj
Hey LJ love you videos Your Pink Floyd collection is great.I was wandering if you have any Nazareth?
+john forcum Hi John. Appreciate the kind words and feedback, thanks! Nazareth is a fantastic and sadly overlooked band. I have everything on vinyl up through "2XS" and except for the first couple which don't show up very often. Thanks for tunin' in! - Lj
john forcum nazzereth sucks
Tech Man and your point? And it's Nazareth.😁
