Pink Floyd Bbc Archives 1967 1969, Revb (2 Cd) (2009)

Recorded by the BBC, BBC Archives 1974 was recorded in London at The Empire Pool, Wembley on 16 November, 1974. This is an excellent soundboard recording with the group still very much in The Dark Side Of The Moon mode, playing the album in full from start to finish, ,then wrapping it up with "Echoes". This is the Harvested pressing from 2007.

Recorded live at The Paris Cinema & The Other, London, England. 1967-1971. This is a seriously fascinating series that is being done by a guy called Hummus905. He has taken mono (and sometimes stereo) recordings, and separated them into individual stems representing the different instruments. Then he remixes and and remasters the stems into a new stereo version. The results are not at all like those "simulated stereo" mixes you've heard in the past.

MBBC Archives 1970-1971: The Paris Cinema Sessions is a Pink Floyd/Harvested bootleg CD featuring two different sets from the John Peel BBC radio shows, one representing Atom Heart Mother from 1970, the other representing Meddle from 1971. It's also great to compare the versions of "The Embryo" and "Fat Old Sun" between both sessions.

Some bands turn into shorthand for a certain sound or style, and Pink Floyd belongs among that elite group. The very name connotes something specific: an elastic, echoing, mind-bending sound that evokes the chasms of space. Pink Floyd grounded that limitless sound with exacting explorations of mundane matters of ego, mind, memory, and heart, touching upon madness, alienation, narcissism, and society on their concept albums of the '70s. Of these concept albums, Dark Side of the Moon resonated strongest, earning new audiences year after year, decade after decade, and its longevity makes sense. That 1973 concept album distilled the wild psychedelia of their early years – that brief, heady period when they were fronted by Syd Barrett – into a slow, sculpted, widescreen epic masterminded by Roger Waters, the bassist who was the band's de facto leader in the '70s.
