Pink Floyd - The Early Years 1965-1972 Box Set - Realiz/ation (Content, tracks, etc. ONLY!)

I ran across this interesting article about the box sets artwork. I've been following this thread and I don't think it's been posted before. If it has apologies.

Pentagram designs 27-disc box set for Pink Floyd The Early Years

 

I feel bad for you. You're missing out on a treasure trove of great music.

 

Exactly.

... and yes, I know it's not perfect - and I don't care.

 

Can I take this opportunity just to restate what an incalculable treasure the Stockholm performance is?

 

I got the box set last week, and since then I have spent my evening time reading this thread from the beginning, besides listening to music of course.
I want to thank everyone for the useful information along the way. The main problem right now is what am I going to read next now that I have finished this thread!

My box came with the OBC disc on the top, outside the box. However, as I don't have a BD-drive on my PC I don't know does my set have the hidden Meddle 5.1 or not. Is there a matrix number or such from where it could be identified?

I guess the Warner customer service will replace the faulty discs, so the 5.1 Meddle BD can't be had from there in case I'm missing it. Has anyone asked for the revised Stockholm disc and/or the revised digibook that would hold both the OBC and Pompeii discs?

Also, those of you who were lucky enough to get the replica van (sold out again), does it fit in the "foam handle" in the box set?

 

It sounds pretty bad on my main system, but I listened to it yesterday on a boom box while working in the garage, and it was tolerable. Did someone post a recommended eq/transfer to improve this? Thanks!

 

Yes, there's no digital edition of Continu/ation, apparently, from Amazon and iTunes, etc.
I'm trying to get "Continu/ation" without buying the whole EY box set; especially interested in the CD.
Nothing found on any online auction sites .
Oh well, as promoted, the "bonus volume" is exclusive to the box set....but will keep looking!

 

Has anyone found Continu/ation cover art in the style of the official stream/download art yet?

 

I'm also looking for this, scoured the web since I got it.

 

It's been on eBay at least twice... I suppose it will show up again eventually...

 

Actually the delay effect on the word "winter" can be heard on the original promo video mix, but not on either stereo or mono album mix. There is only very low quality version circulating of that mix (afaik), but that "robotic" delay is there, with the "la la la la"-backing vocals which are only on the stereo mix of the album.
There were some speculations if that was a mix made for the single (which wasn't ever released), but whatever it was, it was different.

 

I mean the digital effect they put on the whole vocal. They did a similar thing with vegetable man 2010, too. I don't mind effects on vocals but I really dislike what they did to the vocals on the 201o mixes.

 

Btw, I just checked out the jugband bluray audio to see what the deal is with the speed. The first 1:05 minutes has the speed increased but the rest of it is normal. Now that I know about it, it bugs me. So I pitch corrected the first part and remuxed it into the video. Needed a -0.4 semitone adjustment without changing speed.

 

Yes, the Committee soundtrack too!

Come to think of it, it's a pity EP's were not popular then. Maybe some of these odds and ends would have surfaced then.

 

Fat Old Sun from the BBC 1971 Session would have been good.

Cre/ation was an attempt to present an audio anthology of the Early Years box set.
So, it's interesting that the record company didn't offer a video anthology of the box set.
The nearest we got was from the BBC, with their Beginnings programme.

 

I made my own versions of the missing Continu/ation and Cambridge St/ation cover art in the style of the official artwork. Enjoy!

Just found the individual sets on Spotify. Guess they've been on there for a while now..?

 

Yes, since March 25th 2017.

Well, Rick's Rave Up is. Sadly, no info on Dave's Dirge.

 

That would be UFO.
