Biography

In the early 1960s, a bunch of boys from Cambridge began jamming together, and out of those encounters were born the early incarnations of Pink Floyd. More than 40 years and 150 million album sales later, the band headlined the biggest global music event in history – Live 8 – and was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame. You could say the Floyd has staying power.

3.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Disappointed, January 24, 2005
This review is from: Relics (Audio CD)
I would give this album a five, but unfortunately, whoever remastered this, has butchered (as in chopped) the ends off of several songs (Interstellar Overdrive, Biding My Time and more, seconds I deem important), and the beginning of others (most noticeably Julia Dream). The remastering sounds flatter than my LP and tape of Relics (without the added tracks), and more hiss has been introduced to boot. I think this may be the worst "remaster" done. At least the worst I've heard. It really is a shame. Look to other/earlier releases for quality. Peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Syd Barrett, RIP, July 11, 2006
This review is from: Relics (Audio CD)
Syd Barrett will be greatly missed. His whimsical songwriting style was unique and greatly influenced many famous musicians like David Bowie. This cd is an essential purchase for those wishing a taste of genius.

3.0 out of 5 stars Find 'The Early Singles' CD Instead - Much Better Sound, November 28, 2005
This review is from: Relics (Audio CD)
I would rate this 4 stars for the songs, although it's something of a hodgepodge, but the audio quality could be better. There are several audio dropoffs, similar to those on the stereo 'Piper' CD. The packaging is also pretty skimpy. The Japanese reissue/remaster doesn't seem to be much of an improvement, audio-wise. If you're interested in the early-Floyd, try finding the mono versions of their recordings - the mono 'Piper' CD and the 10-track 'The Early Singles' CD (issued as a bonus disc with the 'Shine On' box set). For some reason they sound much better than the stereo CDs. The packaging and song sequencing are also much better on 'The Early Singles' than on 'Relics.' If you can't find those CDs, look for '1967 The First 3 Singles' which only has 6 tracks (A & B sides from their first 3 singles) but sounds and looks great.
