If you dont mind me asking: if you have that set, how did you come across it?

i'm too lazy to do this.

Me too.
Anyway I would:
take all the stuff from "Echoes";
add a few songs (Mother, Dogs, Have a Cigar, etc);
reset all the songs in chronological order.

I am firmly anti-best of. Especially for Pink Floyd. I say don't waste your money on a PF best of...go buy Animals and Meddle (or some 2...ya know). This is also why I just can't put my music on random, or listen to mixes. Every album has a heart and soul, and needs to be heard the way they were made, in that order (that's especially true for Floyd albums).

I just realized that was semi-irrelevant....but all the same...trying to create a "Best of" for the Floyd, limited to 160 mins, would likely drive me insane.

I've had the Total Eclipse for over 8 years. It's good. But "best of's", are too commercial for me. Echoes pissed me off when released. It cheapens music, same went for Bob Marley.

I found the damn thing at a local record store that specialized in "imports". Paid $100 seven years ago for it. The downside is that's the whole thing is in mono. Take it for what it is. None of those tracks are really that rare anyways.
