Roger will not release the original Wall concert until he is sure he's done milking it. Would be nice to do a 40th anniversary of the shows this year or next year.
Isn't The Wall the only slice of the Pink Floyd pie that Waters owns outright? It could be a while before the original live stuff, via video, for that album is "officially" released.
Roger won’t release it because it was filmed on video and isn’t very good (the Nassau shows I believe). Alan Parker filmed a few songs at Earls Court in 1981, but not the complete show.
Pass, I wasn't impressed with the two channel SACD. Packaging and design (imo) are it's best features
I must disagree. I enjoy it the most, and I've listened to many US versions from 1st print and also the touted Japanese "2-track" CD.
That's not true, the truth is that Roger made a private DVD with the film that he had, when we was preparing is The Wall tour 2010-2012, to show to the prodution team and musicians I supposed with film from 1981 Earl's Court Shows and when he was searching for the films we was surprise because he discovered more footage that was supposed to have (the ideia was to film only 3-5 songs to put on the Wall Movie), apparently the film crew filmed more that they were supposed to, and he was very exciting during the editing of that DVD. This was explained in a Mojo magazine issue, December 2009! And of course there is also, the 1980 Earl's Court shows were also video taped in it's entirety, so a great DVD/Blu-Ray can be made since there's a will from the owner, because from the millions of fans around the world certainly has that desire!
For two channel i'm caught between the Japan Mastersound and the UK Harvest, both give an interesting approach for my tastes. LP, I'm good with the US 'Barry' 1981 issue.
One of three mystery engineers at the time. They only sig'd with their first names, one being a gal. Picked it up at a local antique shop for around 5 bucks couple years ago. Green label, I guess he did a couple more 81 re-issues- rare as hens teeth. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Hmmm. I’ll have to look at my copy. What do you like about it? I’m having doubts about getting the reissue.
For the vinyl format? I know that a box was exclusively available in Japan during the last Japanese CD mini lp campaign.
Yes, for the vinyl. Internet searches show box sets with albums but I am thinking of just a box for storage.
The Pink Floyd website was selling a boxed bundle of the vinyl reissues but the box wasn't special, generic brown cardboard. Here's the details from the PF archives: Pink Floyd Archives-U.S. Box Set LP Discography
Just had the time (and empty house) to do an A/B between my UK A-4/B-3 Meddle and a 2016 UK Grundman. Just like the WYWH (and DSOTM) I A/B'd in the WYWH thread, they're not even in the same league. Again, just no magic in the Grundman. I'm not a wave guy. Are the highs rolled off? They sound lightly veiled, lacking breath and sustain, and even slightly tinny with Meddle. Put on the VG++ A4/B3 and boom! There it is. Pillow, Fearless, and San Tropez are pure magic (Seamus not so much). I can't imagine what one of the touted 1U/1Us sounds like?! But finding one of those as quiet as this would be pricey, so I will likely stand pat. The only reason I might keep the Grundman is to play the difference for anyone interested (they are that night and day), and the gatefold on this is simply beautiful.
Have the A7/B6 HTM (Harry Moss) Meddle. Also a japanese first press, like that one too. The 1U/1U, not missing much IMO. The 2016 is different yep. Maybe the tapes are just old now.
