I bought it for the sound quality, A.
I rarely play extras, usually finding them extras for a reason, if you know what I mean?

I agree, it is one of my favorites also.......has become a classic spin in my collection.

The pink edition has good value...

I certainly see what you mean, but what I was asking was whether your album is 50+ minutes long (w/o the Nil Recurring add-on), or about 80' long with Nil Recurring, Normal and What Happens Now. 

There is of course a reason for extras being extras, but there must have also been a reason for Mr. Wilson to include Nil Recurring on some of the 2LP versions of FOABP. 

PT has a whole album that is composed from nothing but outtakes from the previous recording sessions, the Recordings (I think?). I'd argue it's as great as any "core" PT album from that period.

Listen to Nil Recurring.

I prefer most of it to FOAB (unpopular opinion prolly).

Though Way Out Of Here is quite special.

I've always leaned more towards Nil than FoaPB. Do love it though. I see Nil as FoaPB 1.5

FOAB? FOAPB? I think you all mean FOABP. Tongue

Anesthetize is one of modern prog rock's best epics, if you call it an epic.

I haven't listened to this album for a really long time, when I'm in the mood for some PT, I end up listening to In Absentia or Deadwing. I must listen to Fear... one of these days.

Oh, I haven't listened to Nil Recurring. I think it's going to feel really strange to hear it after all these years, my attitude toward Porcupine Tree has changed a lot.

Same here.....FOABP is one of my least favorite PT efforts. Not sure why but it just doesn't click with me.
