i hated this experiance i love pink floyd and was tring to get the box set for my fauther i bought it now and paid right then 2 months later still nothing i sent emails and i finally sent a grievance still have herd nothing thanks alot
I am a big fan of the Mini-LP CD format releases - preferring the Japan issues. However, this great box set is just that - GREAT! All the details of the original vinyl released are accurately captured: the U.K. "fall apart" LP covers, the gatefold covers, the textured covers, as well as the black shrink wrap on WYWH. The CDs all have the original LP labels shown. All the original inserts are included as well.
The packaging is also very well done. Outer sleeve with the top opening box inside. Includes 2 thick cards to protect the CDs and also includes a large poster as stated.
This Pink Floyd Box Set contains every studio album released by the band from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" in 1967 to "The Division Bell" in 1994. Each CD is imprinted with a copy of the original LP label, and enclosed in a CD sleeve which in an exact copy of the orginal album cover and original artwork.
While this limited edition 16 disc box set contains all 14 studio albums released by Pink Floyd, I wish that they would have included some of the material by the band such as "See Emily Play" that never appeared on a studio album. It also would have been nice if there was some more live material (besides Disc 1 of "Ummagumma") included.
Unlike most box sets which I have purchased, this one does not contain a booklet or any literature on the history of the band. It does however, contain a nice Pink Floyd 40th Anniversary poster.
While the price of this box set is fairly expensive (Amazon.com sells it for $245.99), I was fortunate to have purchased it in an eBay auction, where I got it for $174.00 (including shipping).
If you're like me and never got around to updating your Pink Floyd library from LP or cassette to CD, this box set is the perfect opportunity to do so!
