Actual miniaturized version of the 12” LP in 4” CD version.>>>++ Initially released between studio albums (namely, The Wall and The Final Cut), this best-of collection picks from Pink Floyd’s 1970s material – the era when the band (and they were a band in those days) played sold out stadiums of the world and sold records by the tons.

On this album three of the songs are different than the versions everyone knows.

Money was recorded by Floyd guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour except for the sax which was played by Dick Parry.

Capitol wouldn’t let Columbia/CBS use Money so Dave recorded the song SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND parts 1,2,4 and 7 and is the version as Floyd first performed it on a French tour in 1974.

Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 is the single mix version but uses the ending from the album version.

Tongue-in-cheek title aside, this short-but-sweet compilation makes a convincing
case for latter-day Pink Floyd as solid students of rock-pop songcraft.

Their reputation as space cadets and (in the very early days) acid heads is a million miles away from the expertly crafted, melodic accessibility of the Pink Floyd presented here.

Sure, they were sonic explorers, but first and foremost they were a crowd-pleasing
rock band (whether they liked it or not).

From the longing ode to Syd Barrett "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to the forceful
social commentary of "Sheep" and "Another Brick In The Wall," the band shows off
their compositional chops over and above their considerable instrumental facility.

As a nod to the present, there's even a remix of the classic "Money," with a slightly more forceful rhythmic slant added.
