Re: What's your best find?

Being a college student with no real money and a fairly recent Floyd fan, I can't say that I have much of a collection, but I did find something that is (I think) of note at a CD sale that went on at our university center a few days ago. They didn't have much in the way of Floyd - as a matter of fact, I bought them out, since there were only three Floyd or Floyd-related albums. One was The Division Bell, another was Roger's Radio K.A.O.S., but the third is the one I found really interesting.

It's called "Pink Floyd: Building The Wall" and is apparently some sort of promo disc with Roger's home recordings of early Wall concepts. The sound isn't too bad, and it's very interesting to listen to - Comfortably Numb, for example, has quite different lyrics (some of which I am quite frankly glad he changed - case in point, "Listen/I am a physician/And I can help with your condition/Just like a magician" Sorry Rog, not your best!), and there's just a different "feel" to some of the other songs. Like I said, I'm not a serious collector or anything, just a college kid who happened to be lucky enough to find this used CD for $12 at a sale - I don't know if it's especially rare or valuable or anything, but I had never seen it before and it looked cool, so I got it. Has anyone heard of this? I'd be interested to know. Peace!
