Oh, by the Way is a compilation box set by Pink Floyd. The box set includes all of their standard studio albums packaged together as mini-vinyl replicas. In addition to the albums, and their extras, the set comes with a specially designed 40th Anniversary poster by Storm Thorgerson, featuring 40 Pink Floyd images. It was released on December 11, 2007. The title is a reference to a line in the song "Have a Cigar": "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think / Oh by the way, which one"s Pink?" The box cover consists of a concept similar to that of Ummagumma - one side of the box shows a picture of a room with various objects scattered about inside it, with pictures of the main band members - Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright - on the walls, whilst the other side shows the same room in different lighting, with the objects and pictures of band members rearranged. In both images there is a man standing in silhouette in a doorway in the distance; he might represent Syd Barrett, or the mythical "Pink".

Pink Floyd - "Spaceball Ricochet" Boston Gardens, Boston, MA US June 18, 1975 Recorded live at the Boston Gardens in Boston, Mass. on June 18, 1975. This is one of the best audience recordings you will ever hear of Pink Floyd. It is even more remarkable considering when it was recorded. Everything is clear and precise. And, it fits nicely on 2 CDs.

Whereas Sirene mastered their release to emphasize the top end, Highland have left the tape pretty much alone and is very bass heavy and “darker”. Maybe this is the reason why they named this Natural Dark in Osaka? There is some very minor distortion present although nothing to get too excited about. Listening to both it’s pretty much one’s preference as to which version is better. Both are very enjoyable. Since Darkest Moon has been sold out, Naniwa is a great alternative and worth having.
