stratman, are you mad?!!! :o

Do you know the cost of recorded delivery/registered post for such a commodity from Florida to Colorado these days? And don't let's get started on the risk, which to me seems too great!

HORROR Thought of the week: There may be 8-track, cassette, LP and CD copies of OBC in some "Dead Letter" pile somewhere hoping for a grateful home. Oh no!

Still, it's the very least a Floyd fan could offer one to another for what my mate calls Pink Floyd's Pivot album between the early psychedelia and the modern masterpieces. He may have had something there; stratman may be getting a bargain.

Facetiously Floydian,
Byron

Ah...
I'm still gathering quarters... the 'godsend of changemongers', as I like to call them.
Seriously... Once I get the money, I will get it and then give it a listen (on headphones). And then, I will vote on the poll, and will post, explaining my answer!
It might be one or two weeks... the post might become old.
Does anyone else here live on loose change?

(pretty damn confident that I will like Obscured by Clouds,)

To be honest, I just got asked out of the blue. Thanks for the tongue-in-cheek congrats!

It's not to say I don't enjoy "The Gold, It's In the...". I think it's tremendous fun! It's just that it's one of the few Floyd songs I can say, hey, it sounds a lot like another band!

It's a prett difficult one to answer definitively... I'd have to say that it's a tie between 'Burning bridges', 'Childhood's end' or 'Stay'.

The last one is probably my only concession to Rick Wright's input.

I just find it to be a pretty emotive tune, if not terribly well sung.



It's a great album overall.

Cheers,

Mark

"Childhoods End". The way it's faded in and then Davids Strat just hits you! Oh yeah. "Childhoods End"!!! If any of you haven't already, you need to hear this live. You'll see what I mean!

Yeah, and David's bum note near the end of his solo is a source of endless mirth for me as well, but I still haven't quite decided which, if any, is my favourite track.

I knew this would be difficult.

Thanks fixxy, you The Man!

I could always take another break - though not as long as yours and nor so enforced - so you can overtake me, but I believe thorin13 is about to overtake us both so it's probably academic.
