    Sadly I received 2x sides C/D and no side A/B in my 45rpm box version. Otherwise it was looking good. :(

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
      Brilliant album, absolutely stunning mixing and sound and it carries a clear message to us all. To me, one of the best albums of all time.
      I have the remastered DSD128 version now, and the sound is extraordinary!

        Roger Waters most triumphant album, but it aint exactly "catchy". A powerful rebuke on the industries of selling war and American Evangelicalism enrapturing the country at the time. Certainly it has not aged well at all but, for its day, its a powerful record and I regard it as one of the best produced releases of any Pink Floyd solo album.
