Very much in the spirit of the 2009 beatles remasters campaign emi has extended the same loving care to their second most important british act pink floyd with a full on remastering and repackaging campaign called why pink floyd featuring their entire studio output 14 albums in all unlike the beatles various titles in the floyd canon have been revisited before. This is the second batch of remastered titles released in groups of four but meddle is the first i have purchased on vinyl since the originals i mean. The full record was remastered from the original analogue tapes by james guthrie joel plante and bernie grundman. Anyway i will begin.

I intended to begin my reviews of the new pink floyd 2016 reissue vinyl with their first album the piper at the gates of dawn but alas the first one from the first four to arrive happens to be the last of the chronological four. Good day to everyone. Meddle floyd s 71 masterpiece is finally available on 180 gram vinyl via pink floyd records. Pink floyd were an english rock band that achieved international success with their progressive and psychedelic rock music marked by the use of philosophical lyrics sonic experimentation and elaborate live shows.

This remaster sounds wonderful. One of the most commercially successful and influential rock groups in the history of popular music they have sold over 250. The most recent vinyl re issue of the dark side of the moon is the 2016 remastered edition on heavyweight 180gr vinyl. Originally the album was edited to make the tracks shorter in order.

The lp is housed in a gatefold sleeve printed on a black matte cardboard which also includes two stickers and two original posters with art by hipgnosis. Last year the division bell was re issued as part of the pink floyd 2016 remasters series with full length non edited tracks for the very first time on vinyl and remastered from the original analog master tapes by legendary mastering engineer doug sax at the mastering lab. From the tongue incheek title to the anchored dancers on the cover shot in sunny dungeness a collection of great dance songs was always a curio in floyd s catalogue. Well crafted music full of artistic intent from start to finish.
