Pink Floyd The Early Years 1965-1972 -Anticip/ation

What's the reasoning behind putting 'Baby Blue Shuffle in D Major' on BONUS CONTINU/ATION rather than on GERMIN/ATION with the rest of the 2nd Dec 1968 session tracks ? Similarly wouldn't it have made sense to put the two 1967 BBC sessions in the CAMBRIDGE ST/ATION set?

 

List of unreleased songs recorded by Pink Floyd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia »

This list is gonna need some updating pretty soon!

 

While I see your point about certain songs being included in certain parts of this collection I should also be noted that the 6 volumes minus the bonus volume have been confirmed at press release that they will be available separate and Scream and Vegetable man are both included in the same volume. I think that PF could have been much more unkind in this and not mentioned future release and they could have put one or the other on the box exclusive volume.

 

Still absorbing all the info about what's included IN this monster Pink Floyd box , and what's NOT.

I'm just relieved they didn't ask Roger Waters to sign copies.

 

First thing I do is watch La Vallee (Obscured By Clouds)! I need to check it off my list.

 

It's funny how "Beechwoods" has a new 2010 mix.

I'd have bought the old mix if I had the option and never been the wiser.
That has only ever existed as a screechy little excerpt, if I recall correctly.

Hope they mix more Syd vocal in "Scream." Will be nice to hear "Vegetable Man" in a fresh mix.
It has always existed in pretty good quality, but something was missing.
Some clarity was missing.

 

I missed that entire press release and have just been going off the tracklist of both. It's my fault for not educating myself, but dammit, I want it now on a cheap CD!!!!

 

Ok, this is for real now! Here goes a good chunk of my yearly music budget!

Progressive »

 

I fully sympathize haha. I'm still thinking what to do. I collect vinyl but not singles, I want all the music but don't ultimately need the bonus volume and could resort to downloading that one section if I get the 6 volumes next year.
Or I could get the box. Split the vinyl out with the memorabilia and sell them on with the big box and maybe sell the DVDs.

 

I'll be getting the 2-CD edition since I'm (relatively) new to early PF. But really, this set is the way all comprehensive sets should be done!

 

Why have they remixed Obscured for an entire disc? Curious...

 

Got a pre-order in from amazon.it for what looks like the best price shipped to the US.

With all that money I've "saved," maybe I will finally get some more 2011 remasters (specifically Saucerful, More, Meddle, AHM).

 

Is Meddle one of the quad mixes? Fingers crossed

 

Just "Echoes" and the complete Atom Heart Mother. It's not yet clear where/when we might get the 5.1 mixes for Meddle and OBC that were mentioned originally.

 

Is it a pre-order or did they charge your card already? SuperDeluxeEdition have every country showing as "preorder" except Italy which only shows "order"

Even though I have no use for that stuff, and even though I would probably never sell my box sets, I can't bring myself to split it up. I'll look at it contemptfully, groan about having to have paid for it, and do nothing. I admire that you can do that and hey, the marbles might get lost, so if you're willing to sell, you can help someone re-complete their collection!

Although the marbles were probably lost already if someone actually paid the list price of this box...

 

The first three singles were issued as a CDEP and then later included on the 3CD deluxe 'Piper.' The third + fourth ones were only on the 'Shine On' box set.

 

Wow, could be either. Definitely new to me. This is exciting stuff.

 

Perhaps because there are no outtakes, and it's the best they could come up with for a 1972 set. They already mined '72 for the Dark Side Of The Moon set, so there's little left to use.

no charge as of yet

 

It's often cheaper to order from overseas. They don't charge VAT or taxes and Amazon orders (unlike many other retailers) usually don't get exhorbitant customs charges.

 

Aargh! More box sets!

I totally forgot about that. Maybe I'll track down a copy. Or just wait until the 66/67/68 box sets get released, and hopefully they'll be on the "budget" versions (if they have budget versions, anyway)

 

It only just occurred to me that, while I've a blu-ray player & therefore have no need for the DVDs, there is an upside to them being included as well: DVDs are much easier to rip the audio from. So I'll be able to put all those live songs onto my iPhone for portable listening!

 

Wow, that Italian price is pretty damn good. I'm attempted to go for an order there, assuming that it's not set in stone. I've never used them before. Are they reliable?

 

Just realized it was 8pm over there when I sent this. It'll be 3am here before I get a response.
So all the Americans that are ordering this from Italy, and the UK must be confident the discs are region free ?
