PINK FLOYD

Oh yeah. I wasn't famiilar w/ Seabirds till now. Definitely not it. More like one of those Fingals Cave takes. Though I have 2 distinct versions of that song on bootlets, one rocks, the other is spacier. What a mess.

So the tracklist their official site is incorrect? No "Obsfucation" disc at all? That sucks.

what i've heard is that the cds contain both a 2.0 obc remix and a 2.0 pompeii remix. no 5.1 obc remix, apparently because of a proxy gilmour/waters fight between lawyers.

90% of this stuff is from widely distributed bootlegs. i'm a little amazed at their considerable ability to fuck up the bits that aren't. to the point where i'm out. i've already spent enough money on lawyers this year putting my dad's estate through probate.

Has there been any indication of what the individual sets will cost yet? I remember the breakdown based on the box set price still seemed pretty steep.
& I think I might need to pick up a couple of them but not the whole box, not physically at least.

Still strange to find taht content wasn't settled accurately when this was fully announced, though that was after some shuffling.

What's the exclusive section sound like? People were saying taht it might be considerably worse tahn teh best bootleg sources. particularly the BBC stuff.

i'm hearing word that the track labelled "seabirds" isn't

wtf??!! This was one of the things I was most interested in hearing.

No Obscured by Clouds at all...BUT my source just got another disc in the mail, seems like they realized a mistake and fixed something. Not sure what it is though.

The updated CD he got is the Obscured by Clouds CD.

There's been some discussion over the Seabirds track on The Early Years box set, from reviewers who have an early version of the collection. When the More movie soundtrack work was completed, the tapes of the tracks to be used went to the film company, so the high quality full vocal version of Seabirds is now sadly lost. On the box set are tracks not used in the film, and therefore kept in the archives. One of those tracks - an instrumental also called Seabirds - is included on the set and has never been heard before.

best bait and switch 10/10

listening to a 2-disc The Early Years (Creation 1967-1972) and there is a really cool alt version of "Matilda Mother" that sounds like an album outtake from a different take and with different lyrics for the verses. it say this is from a "2010 Mix" but i'd never heard it before. it has a long meandering ending completely missing the fadeout.

That's the one with the original Hilaire Belloc lyrics.

I saw, back in the day, a copy of 'cautionary tales' on Alice's bookshelf, a Christmas present possibly. I did wonder if she'd ever read it. So, one day I played that version in the car, she clocked it immediately : "Oh, that's from my book!"

So, there out go.

There 'you' go, in fact.

The 2010 mix with the Hillaire belloc lyrics was on the Piper 3cd box set.

so when is this leaking (the entire box)

Xpost yes, that was the one.

I saw they had the box set in my local cd shop earlier. i should have seen if i could grab a copy of the 2cd but I think they were saying tomorrow. & I'd already spent more than I'd really intended to.

Asked if they were going to get the individual sets in but they hadn't heard about them being released individually.

THink the box was going for €500. Not sure how many they got or if it is likely they would shift many. Or also how wide an area they are the main cd shop for outside of supermarkets.

so the high quality full vocal version of Seabirds is now sadly lost

First Trump now this ;_;

I'll gladly take a low quality version. Is there anything floating around?

yeah, there is- it's not on youtube, but there are rips from the movie. schroeder's use of diegetic music means that much of the song is mostly inaudible, however.

yeah I heard it there. Was hoping for something better.

Listening to the 2cd thing and it sounds great.
IT is a shame that neither the unreleased psychedelic singles are on it but what is so far has been great.

Would be interesting as a stand alone but does get obscured by the larger box.

Sound does seem pretty fantastic.

Somebody posted this, which is a little different in its packaging cos it's teh Japanese version and appears to have an extra booklet to the Western one

i'm hearing that the shoddy rush job was such a shoddy rush job that the original pressings haven't even removed the 5.1 mixes of meddle and obc that got cut from the set in a fit of puerile waters-gilmour legal feuding- they only removed the menu link to the files on the blu-ray. so good news for anybody who's super into 5.1, i guess.

audio for both box and 2cd is circulating, I think somebody was asking further up the thread.

So, if I understand this correctly, they weren't originally going to include the Live At Pompeii disc, but they accidentally included it in the first pressing, and after that they just said fuck it and marketed that as a "hidden bonus disc"?

Album of the Decade, obviously.

Listening to the new mix of Live At Pompeii now. Holy shit, this is fantastic.

Live at Pompeii on disc two, the DVD/Blu-Ray of volume6, is that shitty updated version where the director changed the order around, put on new titles and tons of inappropriate stock footage from the wrong era.

Is the "Live At Stockholm" disc that heavily-hyped thing from a couple years ago? Sounds amazing. "Reaction in G" is every bit as good as "Interstellar Overdrive"!!

so latest word is that rontoon sent them pristine copies of bbc '71, better than what's on the set, in 48k, but because they didn't tell anybody about this project the discs were already pressed and they couldn't use them.

pink floyd literally waited for yeeshkul to go on freeleech to put together this set, and is charging $600 for it.

oh god, i did that thing where i use the word "literally" to mean "figuratively", kill me now

Seeing David Fricke interview Nick Mason in 3 hours.

i hope fricke asks him how he feels about how he feels about the release of a massive box set conclusively proving that he is a terrible, terrible drummer

nick i love you and as a member of pink floyd you RULE but god you are an awful drummer

I'll ask.

he is a terrible, terrible drummer
haha, come on. i'd argue that one of the things that makes pink floyd work is that they didn't have a busy prog dude behind the drums.

anyway, i listened to the 2CD thang and it is great!

(xp) OTM, stick your Bill Brufords where the sun don't shine.

Seriously. It's hard to play slow and languid.

funny cos i was listening to the first two discs of this set today thinking this drummer's alright

he only plays one fill but it's a good one!

pretty much the best fill!

Well my copy arrived and all. V. fancy, this.

Mason talked about playing slow. His dr told him to not go above his heart rate.

ah come on this is a classic strawman argument! i'm not saying that pink floyd needed vinnie colaiuta on the drums or that drummers ought to be hyper-technical and busy. i'm saying, with all love and due respect for the guy, that he's a just plain shitty drummer. i can't listen to him try and play a fill without busting out laughing. and he's in a band with a bass player for whom octaves are a platonic form, who i'm increasingly convinced wrote "money" in 7 because he couldn't count to eight properly, who wrote "roger's boogie" (which is a song so dumb the Driving Stupid would have pointed and laughed at if they'd heard it), and for some reason i can still take roger waters more seriously than i can take nick.

not that nick doesn't have his moments, of course. the rototom intro to "time" is all-time classic. "set the controls" is a class chico hamilton rip. i'm just a little jealous of nick, that's all.

This is exactly why I can't stand listening to any PF tribute bands. The drummers just can't get it right.

Also, how the fuck am I supposed to take in a 27 disc Pink Floyd right now. The whole world is on fire and freaking out and by the way, here's a whole new set of Dead Sea Scrolls.
