A FOOT IN THE DOOR: THE BEST OF PINK FLOYD

The best of Pink Floyd has been done before with the excellent "Echoes" compilation and so I am not sure who this album is aimed for. Certainly there are perhaps a few people who would be newcomers to Floyd but surely they could go back to the other plethora of backlog compilations rather than grab this expensive album. The packaging is admittedly high quality, with booklet and illustrations that are exclusive to this set. The songs are all brilliant naturally being the best of Pink Floyd.

This compilation is of course a tie in with the recent remastered Pink Floyd Immersion sets and Discovery Box Set. There is nothing new on this album though it is a different track listing than previous compilations.

I can rate this 3 stars at least due to the packaging and simply because Pink Floyd deserve to be heard and perhaps this album may draw newcomers into the brilliant Pink Floyd universe. Maybe after hearing this album listeners may be interested in grabbing the true masterpieces that have made this band one of the most successful and well known bands on the planet.

A great collection of many of the classic cuts from Pink Floyd. Why is this release needed after the Echoes set? No idea, but a friend had this and I looked it over and gave it a listen. No new tracks or hidden gems here. Just the usual "hits" of Floyd from their long career. Everything from See Emily Play to Fletcher Memorial Home. This is not in any chronological order for some reason. As an introduction to Pink Floyd this is not bad. Get the original classic albums is my advive, but hey, who am I to say what proggies should do. 3 stars cuz of the music herein.
