The New Floyd Discovery CD Box Set?

Gary,

Yes a good friend of over 30 years who runs all Naim and linn speakers and lp12.

He doesnt want his misses to know he bought the box set lol.

So i am going to rip them for him and i have to rip them to play them.

I do like what i am hearing so far.

Stu

I too like what I hear....Wish + Wall sound fabulous.

Gary,

In the car this morning on the way back from hospital BBC radio2 played the whole of  the new Comfortably Numb.

You dont hear that every day???

Looking forward to the BBC Radio 2 show on Monday 3rd October at 22:00.

10 OCLOCK IN OLD MONEY.

Stu

Adrian,

 just play half of the original CD in the 555 then stick the new one in.

Let us know what you think??

Stu

Even the CD555 will only play one side of a CD.... 

John

Git,

I  still had my vinyl head on.

Stu

Gary,

I have just had a look and seen who is doing the show on Monday.

Record Producers.

I wont be listening,I cant stand to even be in the same room as Steve Levine let alone listen to him on the radio.

I remeber when he used to work on the markets selling like Del Boy,but not as good or as funny.

My best mates dad got him a job at CBS studios in London.

He got hold of Boy George and nicked free studio time and got the sack.

The rest as they say is history.

I still dont like the prat.

Stu

I  have just heard Ricks solo of Us And Them.

A wonderful bit of music that made the hairs on my whole body stand up and the the G bumps are just going down on my arms as i post this.

Stu

Bought Animals and Dark Side.. on Cds reason beeing,  I save my  original vinyl on my LP12 for those special moments. The boys have done alright and I'm sure one of them won't need my dosh to fill up the tank in his new red italian motor. I will buy a new CD when they get their arses back to the studio, forget their  differences  and release new material. "Comfortably Numb"!!!!!!!!!!

Fascinating listening to the multitracks! on Radio 2  earlier tonight!
I tried to Record it on Sky,but the manual record does not seem to work!
I can't set the Time for Start or End of programme. anyone have a clue how to do it?

Hmmm...Decided to source the original 'non-remastered' 1st cd releases instead and just aquired a Japanese DSOTM live 1974 BBC which includes the 'Echoes' encore.  I hope it retains more of the 70's dry 'live' sound than the reverbed-up 2011....

G 

I have bought DSOTM, Wall & Wish.... so far sound fabulous to my ears. Comfortably Numb stands out. Time takes me back to those herbal student moments of the 70's 

Ok, I have a guest round (FixedWheel) for a night of Floyd A/B ing, originals vs new Immersion box set. Well initial conclusions are that the new ones are "fabulous". I have to say Wall and Animals are definitely better all round.......

I'd be very interested to know the sonic differences between the original (cd version) and the new remasters. I'm not too interested in all the extras but would certainly try a DTOTM and WYWH along with TW if the difference was significant (as the Beatles remasters certainly were)

SJB

SJB, I am never that good at describing sonic differences between remasterings as I tend just to listen to the music and the tune. However, I do think these remasterings are a good step forward as did John last night. I found them cleaner, a little warmer, fuller and less harsh. They are now my go to Floyd albums. John has ordered the vinyls on the back of our listening, so I reckon they are worth a few euros of your cash.

Adrian

meddle onwards are very good, wasnt a fan before that.notice price hike on amazon .i paid 130 pre order. they must be selling they have increased 140.   still vinyl is still to be beaten. sacd of dsom was very good too

Didnt have a ticket for that gig to keep.
I still have my ticket and prog from the Animals Wembley Pool concert in 1977.

I would of loved them to have put that concert out on Vinyl/CD/DVD?

Stu.
