Really interesting to hear that. Sounded good as a one-off, the violin fits nicely with the barroom vibe. It's too bad Grapelli didn't stick around longer during those sessions--a few more runs through and him and DG would have been trading solos. Anyway, that's just the kind of "from the vaults" thing I like hearing.

hey Pink Floyd people I am listening to the remasters of Saucerful, Obscured By Clouds, and Meddle. They RULE. Especially Meddle. In an era where the word "CD remaster" has come to mean "red flag", these are a beacon of hope.

was on the verge of impulse buying a handful of these over the weekend at best buy, but didn't. regrets!

damn dudes, did you know that the recently surfaced stockholm barret era show recording has leaked!? i guess it is a recording of the recording being broadcast a few months back, but it is supposed to sound pretty good. acquiring now!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 16 November 2011 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
Acquire and report back!

If anyone is looking for lossless Floyd boots head over to just-add-cones.blogspot.com before they disappear.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 16 November 2011 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
ok, bad news is that the vocals are pretty close to non existent. the good news is that this RULES. by far the clearest recording of barrett and floyd, way better than the rotterdam or copenhagen sets. like, pretty much crystal clear capture of the instruments. awesome guitar work from syd. will be posting mp3s on my blog soon. think there's a lossless torrent on dime now...

I want to curl up inside Meddle. It RULES.
The album's title Meddle is a play on words; a medal, and to interfere.[15] Storm Thorgerson originally suggested a close-up shot of a baboon's anus for the album cover photograph. He was over-ruled by the band, who informed him via an inter-continental telephone call while on tour in Japan that they would rather have "an ear underwater".[18] The cover image was photographed by Bob Dowling. The image represents an ear, underwater, collecting waves of sound (represented by ripples in the water).[15] Thorgerson has expressed dissatisfaction with the cover, claiming it to be his least favourite Pink Floyd album sleeve: "I think Meddle is a much better album than its cover".[19] Aubrey Powell (Thorgerson's colleague) shares his sentiments—"Meddle was a mess. I hated that cover. I don't think we did them justice with that at all; it's half-hearted."[20] The gatefold contains a group photograph of the band (Floyd's last until 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason).

I have to say I agree. The only reason I tolerate the cover and have grown to even like it is because Meddle is by far my favorite Pink Floyd album. I wonder if it would have reached a more canonical status amongst second rate fans if it had a cover as iconic as 'dark side', 'animals' 'wish you were here' and even 'division bell' or 'atom heart mother'.
― Moka, Thursday, 17 November 2011 08:05 (twelve years ago) link
I mean honestly, this poster should have Piper and Meddle instead of atom heart mother and relics in there... if only their covers didn't suck so much in comparison.

The "Wish you were here" model looks like our Amber.
It isn't, obviously..

I have to say I agree. The only reason I tolerate the cover and have grown to even like it is because Meddle is by far my favorite Pink Floyd album.
At least the US vinyl version of Meddle had a different color scheme, so it looked a little less obvious like an ear.

"Meddle cover sux" does not compute. It's one of my favorites!!!

^^^^^It's certainly better than the Obscured by Clouds cover.

WTF
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 18 November 2011 06:01 (twelve years ago) link
Hey, it's Thorgerson himself who says it sucks. I'm simply agreeing with him.
― Moka, Friday, 18 November 2011 06:39 (twelve years ago) link
And I mean it doesn't make me want to tear off my eyeballs, the problem is that when you compare it to other PF covers it doesn't rule as much. If isolated from the rest of their catalogue I'd even say I like it.
