Pink Floyd - PULSE rereleased on vinyl - official

They will

 

I know. The original CD box had it, though, but the reissue doesn't.

 

I'd love this but there's a part of me asking myself, how much are you actually going to listen to it?

I don't own any box sets at all because I just know they'll sit on the shelf as an ornament and I'll hardly ever actually play the albums inside.

 

I sold the original and made a pretty penny on it, I just couldn't see myself playing it that much, if I want to relive this I'll just watch the DVD.

Though I'm glad those who want this will get an opportunity to get it now.

I think I might be interested if they did some kind of a best of the Early years set on vinyl but even Echoes wouldn't bother me, I had that like Pulse and rarely played it.

I've always been a studio albums fan, live albums and compilations are something I can't be bothered with. They are my favourite band but I'm too old and don't have the disposable income to be a completist.

Those that want to buy and buy are welcome but I wonder sometimes that you can only have so much because it will get to the point that it just sits on the shelf, I'm only buying what I know I'll play over and over again these days.

 

Yeah even though I’m a vinyl guy I’d also probably go with a video version of this.

 

I’m in.

 

I am so in.

 

Im in

 

Same here

 

Hmm, let's see what the prize will be around the release date. I'd like to have the live album on vinyl, it's a great one.

 

yea, i'll get it.
But the show isn't that amazing. Shine on is missing 1 of the solos. Something gilmour has been doing since the 80's. So, shine on is slightly gimped. Also none of my favourite division bell tracks. Like wearing the inside out/marooned/cluster one. And finally, even back in the 70's the darkside of the moon never translated too well in a live setting. It doesn't really compare to the studio version. Except maybe money. money was extended live and is pretty cool. The Time solo is a decent highlight live as well. Everything else falls short imo.

As for encores? same old same old. abitw pt2, run like hell, CN,one of these days,wish you were here. These have been done to death.

So overall Not too amazing. Hope it sounds as good as Gilmour's live in Pompeii on vinyl. Pompeii sounded awesome.

 

once the price goes down a bit.... I am in.

 

Agreed.

 

The price only goes up for vinyl my friends.

 

if it doesn't end up on insound.com, then I will use a 20% coupon from Soundstage or Music Direct when they offer them.

 

No not always. There are plenty promotions from Amazon in Europe so I bet this box will come cheaper.

 

Says "no further discounts" on their sites

 

Regarding Soundstage, 20% off, it only applies on purchases over $100.00 and the price for the Pulse LP is $99.99

 

So you add something which costs a penny. But again, if it's like AS or MD, NO FURTHER DISCOUNTS on it.

 

Pre order is up on Amazon UK, and price is £88.39 (with VAT).

It's nice that it's being re-released now after almost 25 years.
But far too expensive for something I can easily get for under 10 euros on CD...
This is seriously milking of fans.

 

Part of me wants to get this, but the other part says 'boring'.

 

I'm glad this is happening but I have an original. Will that stop me buying the new one though? - Probably not!

The one thing above all others I've always loved about Pulse is the fact that it's recorded with 'Q-sound' enhancement. Where this works (and it isn't obvious throughout) it's a blast. That last note in Run Like Hell is phenomenal - it sort of 'spreads' forward and to the sides of the already wide soundstage. It's a small moment but a glorious one!

 

Make a comparison review on Discogs or something.

 

I can feel the FOMO beating out the sensible me regarding the availability and necessity of this release. The more I hear about these kind of details, the better.

My CD quality version of this is a "permanent borrow" from the library. I've only been able to appreciate the full quality 5.1 of the DVD for a few months. That literally took a decade and a half to get to. And still I think, "Nice, but what's the full resolution sound like?" So, right now, having a reason to 'return' the CD and chill with the vinyl is my biggest draw. Kate Bush was able to put out the same basic package for Before the Dawn for $70. The $30 leap here is tangible.
