Re: The ABITW2 Myth
{{{Correct me if I'm wrong on this one. When people say "This was their first single in 11 years, they may be referring to a specific country. But I don't think that's the case.}}}

Anyway, in many biographies of Pink Floyd, the author claims that "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2" in 1979 was their first single since "Point Me At The Sky" in 1968*.
BUT
Pink Floyd released singles before ABITW2 as early as "Obscured By Clouds" (Free Four/Stay) in 1972. Also, "Money" backed with "Any Color You Like" was released in 1973 (and made it to Number 13 by the way). Not to mention the release of "Have A Cigar" in 1975. :grin:

Re: The ABITW2 Myth
They meant the first release since 'Point Me At The Sky' in England.

Re: The ABITW2 Myth
Ok...ok...ok

I was refering to Garth Algar from Waynes World.

Garth Algar emphasizes the word "BUT" when trying to point something out.

Bud did the same thing, only he capitolized "BUT", which in essence is the same idea.

Re: The ABITW2 Myth
And who also appeared in "Wayne's World" 1 & 2, Madcap Diamond? That's right. Our favorite actor, the great Ed O'Neil. I love his portrayals of Popeye Doyle and the legendary Al Bundy.

It's the "mournful" phrase in 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond'.

Re: The ABITW2 Myth
No, but the inverted DSOTM cover is a classic. I take it that they'd amended the mistake by the time it was released on CD, but I'd love to get hold of one of those vinyl copies.

Cheers,

Mark

Re: The ABITW2 Myth
Yes, the under-apreciated Ed O'neil. That guy is hilarious.

I wouldn't call it mournful. But it is my favorite musical bar of any Pink Floyd work ever!

On the back of the shirt, the graphic is inverted and larger than the front. Right under "Still first in Space" is a picture of a satelite.
