The Vinyl Countdown # 1443
Pink Floyd, The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) You know I don’t think I’ve ever heard this. The vinyl I mean. Of course I’ve heard the album. I had the tape, I had the CD, I had the 20th Anniversary CD – sold at the 1973 price of $6.99 for a day or two. [...]Archive

Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here (1975) A mate was visiting from Australia. He was in town for the night. That night included having to watch me playing a gig – my first with a country-ish band. It seemed to go pretty well. And we had some drinks after, and a chat. And hung out [...]Archive

Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports, Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports (1981) My favourite “solo” effort by a Pink Floyd member (apart from Syd Barrett’s albums). Of course you could argue (correctly) that this is no solo album. Carla Bley wrote and produced the material, Robert Wyatt sung most of it – those are reasons to sign up [...]Archive

Pink Floyd, Relics (1971) One of the first Pink Floyd tapes I bought – so it was a bit of a head-fuck at first; lined up next to The Wall and A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. But shortly after – I persisted with Relics – I bought Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. And it [...]Archive

Pink Floyd, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (1987) I loved this album from the time it was released – I think I told you all about that when I wrote about The Delicate Sound Of Thunder. But for a while it was almost a guilty pleasure liking this album. The Pink Floyd album you weren’t [...]Archive

Pink Floyd, Delicate Sound Of Thunder (1988) I have a huge love for this album – a sentimental attachment. You see, I never got to see Pink Floyd live. But I got (kinda) close. We were in Auckland when they played on the tour that would come to be represented by this double-live album; the [...]Archive

Pink Floyd, Animals (1977) Often my favourite Pink Floyd album is the one I’m listening to – it’s hard to pick a favourite. Just as often, these days, I’m fairly much over the band; done to death. And though there are albums by Floyd that seem to stand to the side (Atom Heart Mother) I [...]Archive
