albums

An LP copy of Dark Side of the Moon, with a different mix than the CD version (and every other LP I've heard) of the album.

Seriously.

i think the Pink Floyd Star Profile is as obscure as I get...then again, I guess that technically doesn't constitute and Pink Floyd "album".

Could that be the quad mix?

BTW, the most obscure one that I have is the Echoes CD Sampler which I got for $5.95. That's as obscure as it gets for me.

I've got, like, a Hungarian copy of '...Dance songs' with a funny, peculiar cover rendered in (no pun intended) watercolours, comprising most of the 'Ummagumma' album and, I think, maybe some fighter jets. I know that it's not technically an obscure album, per se....

I'd be interested in hearing more about this DSotM copy you mention above, incidentally, although I reckon it probably is the quad mix.


Snap, crackle and indeed, 'pop',

It's not an official release so I don't know if calling it "obscure" would be correct, anyway I have a nice couple of CDs called The Unmissable Tracks Vol. 1 - 2. They have a lot of rarities and stuff as Sunshine, Seabirds, Pigs On The Wing 1/2 "loop version" from the 8-track cartridge, Moonhead and alternate versions and so on.


And some of this stuff would deserve some kind of official release, but this is an old story.

I guess I'm pretty mainstream, nothing as obscure as mentioned above. I do have an original release (12" vinyl) of Pros and Cons with the uncensored (full rear view) Album jacket.

I have that too - it's in absolutely pristine condition, as is the vinyl within, probably something to do with the fact that it's not been played for about 20 years

Aye, the msot obscure thing I have is the Early Singles CD, even though that's not really obscure.

Nothing obscure. Maybe the Bulgarian vinyl release of AMLOR.

I cant say i own an obscure pink floyd album.

"A Saucerful of Monos"
An EXCELLENT-sounding CDR of the mono Piper and Saucerful mixes, sped up slightly by the maker so that they fit on one CD. I took the whole thing, slowed it down to the proper speed with Cool Edit, and burned two separate discs with appropriate bonus tracks. Best bootleg I ever downloaded.

PS: It shouldn't be obscure at all, the mono mixes must reach wide release!! Fight the power!!

No more than it was a crime for EMI to "remaster" the awful stereo mixes: clicks, pops, freaky-deaky panning and all. The least they could have done was release the monos, or, God forbid, actually FIX the awful stereo?
