This.  Did the vinyl release have the red blinking light?  I remember my brother having and playing the CD when I was about eight, probably one of the reasons I love the Floyd so much.  Pretty sure that thing is still blinking to this day.

 

No, the vinyl box didn't have the red LED. Only the early CD release did. I have one somewhere from when it first was release. My battery died though and I had to swap it out a few years back. There's a write up online somewhere that's shows how to do it.

Pics of the packaging anyone?

 

 

Here's a few cell phone pics of my UK copy of SOS.

The jackets on SOS and PATGOD are fake "Flipbacks" which kinda sucks, but they are still very nice. Not sure about More and Ummagumma, I didn't buy those.

The slab is inside a nice black poly sleeve.

The DB is nothing more than a repress.

The Wall, however is mastered by Bernie Grundman, just like the rest of the discography that just came out/is coming "soon"

 

My Amazon UK preorder is telling me Nov 5-10 for Animals. I forget what the last update was for Meddle. They keep pushing the dates back.

I have AHM and Meddle coming from Amazon UK, they will be here this week. Animals is preordered but it's not ccming for a while. I've been reading that The Wall repress is amazing, but can't bring myself to spend the $$$$ on it.

 

When AHM and Meddle get here, I'll compare them to an early UK press I have of each. I also have an early Japan press of Meddle that really shines. I'd like to see how it compares to the new one from UK.

The JPN press of Meddle is the only silent copy I've  ever found,  seems like most presses of Meddle were always noisy.

Waiting and hoping to Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Obscured By Clouds for under $20 each. Would rather have the UK presses though. The UK presses of Piper and Saucerful were flawless. I picked up a US press of More and it was pressed off center.

I grabbed Saucer, Piper, Meddle, Animals, and AHM for under $20 each through Amazon UK.

I preordered a long time ago. Some of them popped up for a bit and were gone again for a couple months, coming back with a higher price.

did Animals get the repress as well?

Not yet. I preordered it back in June or July though. Latest update from Amazon UK is a delivery date of Nov 6, but it keeps getting pushed back.

The entire Pink Floyd 16 album catalog is getting the remaster treatment by Bernie Grumman (other than Division Bell).

Wait... was this when they had the pricing error and  were being sold for, like, $4 each? 

 

EDIT: oops, it was actually amazon.de that were pratically giving them away, not UK. My order was cancelled after a few days.

For those thinking of picking up the new WYWH press, just a heads up...

The US press is simply a repress of the Doug Sax cut (I own it and it sounds great), however the UK press is indeed a new cut by Bernie Grumman. So, if you want the new cut, order from UK.

 

Mine is supposed to arrive on Halloween, and I'll give it a clean, and spin it when I can to compare it to the Doug Sax 2011 cut.

Thanks for the heads up!! So there's no Bernie Grundman Division Bell cut at all?

I know rushing shit into production is the new norm, but do you think they could have waited until they reissued Final Cut and Momentary Lapse before putting out a "Vinyl Collection Bundle". This really ticks me off, I don't why I am as angry as I am over something as insignificant as this, but it just bums me out.
