1 stars 6 Reasons why not to buy this album:

Number 1: This complilation is replete with Pink Floyd songs that we all own, so why would anyone buy this? The cover is appalling too so thats no reason. If you are new to Floyd skip straight to Echoes - Best Of - its a masterpeice in comparison to this.

Number 2: The tracks are admittedly great but true fans own them anyway. One Of These Days is the bonafide classic from Meddle - If you want to hear great Floyd get that album, don't settle for one track.

Number 3: Money is a new version for some reason where Gilmour plays all instruments - The Dark Side of the Moon version is streets ahead of this effort. Though perhaps this is one reason to buy this. You get a new version of Money - Nah, sorry, its not that good...

Number 4: Sheep is from Animals and you must hear that album in its entirety to gain full value.

Number 5: Shine On You Crazy Diamond is from Wish You Were Here and its much better in the full version. Wish You Were Here is too of course but we all own that.

Number 6: Another Brick In The Wall, Part II is the single from The Wall. Every PF fan owns it or he/she is not a fan.

So in conclusion steer clear of this album. I can give you more reasons not to buy it, but i think 6 is enough. New to Floyd? Ok, then you may not have these tracks but they are presented on heaps of other compilations better than this lacklustre money grabbing attempt.
