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.

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

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.
― Moka, Friday, 18 November 2011 06:41 (twelve years ago) link
I like their other covers too, but Meddle never paled in comparison for me. idk. I just love the ear. And I've always loved the Obscured by Clouds cover. Makes me feel like my eyes are blurry.

The Grateful Dead wine in that series is actually really good. Pink Floyd, however, has the distinction of being the only Wines That Rock band without a dead-from-alcoholism member in its past.

OMG
London's Daily Express is reporting that Pink Floyd will reunite to play the closing ceremonies of the London Olympics next summer.
An "insider" told the paper that "It's long been made clear it would take something very special to get Pink Floyd back together again and it doesn't get any bigger than the Olympics.
'Like Sir Paul, they have been a major part of the nation's culture over the past 40 years and it will be very fitting that they're involved when London is on show to the world. It's hoped everything can be confirmed in the coming weeks."
Paul McCartney is rumored to be playing the event's opening ceremony.
Roger Waters left the group in 1985 after twenty years together and, even though the band carried on, fans still consider the classic lineup the "real" Floyd. They returned to the stage in 2005 for Live 8 but have not played together as a unit since. The surviving members are Waters, David Gilmore and Nick Mason.

OMG!!!!
Rocker David Gilmour has squashed reports suggesting the living members of Pink Floyd will reunite for a London Olympics spectacular.
The guitar great has been quick to respond to a London Evening Standard story, which linked the band to the summer (2012) sports extravaganza, insisting there's nothing to the report.
A representative for the rocker says, "David Gilmour can confirm that there is no truth in recent media speculation about Pink Floyd reuniting to perform for the 2012 London Olympics."
If true, the show would have marked the band's first official performance together since Live 8 in 2005.
Gilmour and former bandmates Nick Mason and Roger Waters teamed up for a brief reunion at Waters' "The Wall" concert in London last year (May 11) - but all parties declared the get together was a one-off.
Roger Taylor and Brian May have also been linked to an Olympics-launching spectacular, as has Sir Paul McCartney. At present, no big names have been confirmed for concerts to launch the Games but dance music duo Underworld have been appointed the event's musical directors.

They've tried with the Syd one but discussion stalled as the owner of the recording wants a bunch of money for it.

this boat rules
― Euler, Friday, 27 January 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago) link
Astoria is a grand houseboat, adapted as a recording studio by its owner, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. It is moored on the River Thames near Hampton Court. Gilmour purchased the boat in 1986, because he "spent half of [his] life in recording studios with no windows, no light, but on the boat there are many windows, with beautiful scenery on the outside".
