Hi there! Welcome to my little music corner
on the web! This month I'd like to talk about the newest
releases from Pink Floyd. Although the
releases aren't new material, they are things that any
collector would want.
On April 18th Pink Floyd released Is
There Anybody Out There? It's a double CD
set of a live performance of The Wall. Columbia Records
has made it available in both a bulky double CD case as
well as a limited edition slip case with a book and some
pictures. There is about a $10 dollar difference between
the two.
Is There Anybody Out
There? is a very good recording. The sound is
amazingly clear and sometimes you can't even tell you are
hearing a live show. They never miss a note and are able
to reach those high pitched voices that they use in the
song, "The Trial." As we all know a CD will
never capture what its like to actually be at a Floyd
show, however, listening to this live rendition of The
Wall almost puts you in the audience. Its a must
for any Pink Floyd fan and worth checking out for those
who aren't. Also, for fans who need to have everything
ever made by Floyd, or for people looking to get into
their material, the studio recording of The
Wall was just re-released on April 25th. It is
basically the same thing that has been out. It has been
digitally re-mastered and had undergone a label change.
So far the Floyd CD catalog has been through a couple
record label changes. Each time the new record label
releases older CDs bearing the new labels logo. Die hard
fans sometimes feel the need to own everything ever
released. Don't be fooled though, it's all the same
material that has been on the market. It just has a
different label on it. In my opinion, it's a just a ploy
for the record company to make money off of the fans.
Well, that's it for me for now. Hope you enjoyed my
little speech. Happy
listening!
