Pink Floyd – A Foot In The Door (The Best Of Pink Floyd)

The art visuals of the record are very bad. Especially the watercolor effect picture in the middle. Very sloppy. Is this the visual cover you associate with Pink Floyd? Don't talk about sound quality all the time. Records are a format that appeals to the visual.

(BTW, I am most certainly NOT referencing the CD as shown in this comment, but one of the vinyl releases!)

Just out of curiosity, how the hell can you tell these 3 pressings apart? They all seem to have the exact same runout in the deadwax etc., but one is supposedly a US release, one a EU release, and one a German release. Any bloody way to tell them apart...?

Thanks!

BTW, the sound is very good. Probably not as dynamic as the OGs, of which I do have some, but I feel tonally nicely balanced on my system. At first I was going to sell it because I have most of the originals, but I found that it sounded really good and it was a nice collection of various albums if that is what I was in the mood for, so I went ahead and kept it 😊

BTW this is what I am listening to it on if you wish to check it out:

The space rock pioneers Pink Floyd reached unprecedented heights on both commercial and aesthetic area. From the first, by Syd Barrett landed, psychedelic pop record up to their concept albums and Grand tackled live shows in the 1970s. Dark Side Of The Moon, their magnum opus from 1973, held fourteen years on amazing way tie in the album charts, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Even after the departure of upper conceptualist Roger Waters, after The Final Cut in 1983, Floyd remained under the direction of David Gilmour release albums well into the 1990s. In July 2005, Roger Waters back to Pink Floyd for a received ecstatic performance of four songs, during the Live 8 event in London's Hyde Park. The renewed rumors of a full reunion were quickly quashed by the band. The gig was once, if they are open to a reunion at similar global events.

missing "Run Like Hell", "One of These Days" (or anything from Meddle), "Astronomy Domine", "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Cymbaline", yet includes "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" & "The Fletcher Memorial Home".

A nice little sampling of some great tracks that document the early Barrett era with "See Emily Play". And it goes all the way through Floyd's second to last album with Gilmour as the front man with "High Hopes". Recommend highly for beginning listeners of Floyd, or even Floyd fanatics like myself. Great, cheap compilation that ends perfectly with "Brain Damage/Eclipse", and perfectly documents the growth of the Floyd sound. From 1967's pyschadelic "See Emily Play" written by original frontman Syd Barrett, to the near end of the Floyd with 1994's High Hopes. Great album, I picked it up from Walmart for $10.00. It never leaves my car's stereo CD player! Thanks, John
