At any other time, a new compilation of the best of Pink Floyd would get major attention and focus from the fans. A Foot In The Door, released on November 7th 2011 (November 8th in the US), and coming at a bumper time for Floyd fans, has almost been seen as a footnote or incidental, rather than being given the time and attention previous collections, such as Echoes, have had.Admittedly, with the huge Why Pink Floyd campaign in full flow, fans have been treated to unprecedented amounts of live and studio gems which have been unearthed and given a James Guthrie/Andy Jackson polish. This seems to position A Foot In The Door squarely in the territory of the casual fan, or those who've heard of the band but know little about Pink Floyd's back catalogue, and would like to find out a bit more.We've taken a thorough blast through this precis of the band as we know many fans will be interested in knowing more, irrespective of what other, more in-depth releases there are around at present.
