Yeah that is a quality album, have you seen the old copy they did of WYWH, the cover is slightly different from the one now, get hold of that and you have done well.
Does anyone here have a link to it/have it?
here it is, some idiots have written all over it though :p

notice how the man on fire has leant back more and the buildings in the back are different

If you want WYWH on vinyl then just go onto Amazon.com, they have them in suplpy all the time. They do in the UK store anyway

I've got Wish You Were Here on vinyl, and it's indeed a bit different from the cd version qua artwork. The man swimming in sand is not to be found either, too bad, I quite liked that picture.
I have every official album between Atom Heart Mother and The Wall on vinyl (unless More was made after Atom Heart Mother, can't remember, I don't have More (yet)) and am planning to get the rest as well. I saw The Division Bell on vinyl a few days ago (second hand), but the shop-keeper hadn't decided about the price yet. I hope it's still there when I go back, never saw it on vinyl before. He also had Nick Mason's solo album on vinyl which is very rare but also very bad (so I have heard). Has anyone heard that album before?

My dad has Dark Side Of The Moon and Ummagumma on vinyl. He used to have The Wall, but it was stolen, so he bought a second copy, and that was stolen as well.

I've got DSOTM and the Wall on vinyl, i've gone through 3 CDs of DSOTM. I also have a CD of the wall, animals, WYWH and meddle.
I haven't really expanded into the Syd era or the era after Roger Waters left.

Your missing out then, you need to pick up Piper at The Gates of Dawn.

Anyone like Syd Barrett's solo work? The Madcap Laughs is awesome.

I like a bunch of TML but I still prefer his work with the Floyd

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]Your missing out then, you need to pick up Piper at The Gates of Dawn.[/quote]

Personal prefrence. I can't ****ing stand Syd-era stuff. It isn't even Pink Floyd.. When you hear Pink Floyd you think of DSoTM type stuff, melody, and such, not noise.

Yea then you listen to floyd with syd and he's singing about gnomes and little girls playing... that why I always ask do you like old floyd or DSOTM floyd? whenever some tells me they are a fan.

I don't have any vinyl :upset: My dad threw away all of his classics like DSOTM.

I'ma see david gilmour march 19th in amsterdam :D:D.. looking forward to it.. such a great man, such a great guitarist..

[QUOTE=TheDMV]I don't have any vinyl :upset: My dad threw away all of his classics like DSOTM.[/QUOTE]

What the hell was he thinking? I've got basically every beatles album ever recorded on vinyl, but no Floyd. :(

Yeah I even like some of his solo stuff more than his stuff with Floyd. Dominos is my favorite.

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]What the hell was he thinking? I've got basically every beatles album ever recorded on vinyl, but no Floyd. :([/QUOTE]

I thnik he just figured that there would be no need for them any more. I have to give him almost all the credit for getting me into bands like Floyd though.

That's understandable. My dad got me into music too, he's obsessed with The Beatles. We have several bookcases at my house containing only books about John Lennon.

I got into listening to classic rock from my dad as well. I remember asking if I could borrow The Wall (my first real introcuction to classic rock) and thinking "Whats with this guy screaming about meat and pudding?"

Haha, you can't beat the angry British guy. I might have to watch The Wall tonight, I haven't seen it in forever.

scottish guy. The guy is [I]scottish[/I].

Really? I've always thought he was British.

His accent is very, very Scottish.

Well, whilst we are whoring our PF collections, I can safely say that I have every Floyd album on CD, tape or vinyl, and in a lot of cases, on both tape and CD or vinyl and CD.

My collection is about to get a hell of a lot better. I have all their cds and a good number of bootlegs and I'm awaiting my next purchase from EBAY to come in the mail. What it is is a bootleg box set with 13 live cds, each one from a different tour spanning their entire career together, and 20 dvd's spanning their solo careers. I can't wait.

IMO, Animals and Atom Heart Mother are two of their most underrated albums.

I've never been a big fan of AHM but I think that it has some very underrated moments on the album, like the song If and many points in some of the jams. I think the only thing that keeps Animals more underrated than it should be is the long songs, its such a shame people won't listen to amazing music just because of its length.

urrrrm.....if someone is Scottish then they are British as well.

Britain = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK! Sorry.

I need to get all the Floyd's on vinyl.. they a record player. Heh.

[QUOTE=n00bguitarist]IMO, Animals and Atom Heart Mother are two of their most underrated albums.[/QUOTE]

Within the general public, i believe that animals is very underrated. If you are a fan then it tends to be pretty well known as one of their best. (Which it is)

Animals is underrated, and is EASILY some of their best work. Gilmour freakin' shines on that album.. As does Waters' voice and lyrics.

Yeah I always felt that album was Water's best vocal preformance.

It's true that to the general public, Animals is very underrated. To the fans, it's known as one of the best. But i think that to the fans, even Atom Heart Mother is underrated. I think that most of their early albums are underrated and unknown to some of the fans.

Its hard to call their early albums underrated or overrated because they are just different. I love them but someone said very well earlier that early Floyd and latter Floyd are almost like two different bands. By the time Dark Side of the Moon came around the band was playing very different tunes.
