EMICD-11228 : 2007-11-26 16 CD box set - being 14 studio albums including 2 doubles. According to Pink Floyd Brain Damage site there were a few glitches with this release, the most notable being a misprinting of the inner bag for the second CD in "The Wall". There are also cases of an album being missed out and duplicates in their places. The later Japanese release of this box set is basically identical to this box set. Poor quality fakes exist for this set - more details below. The original Japanese individual releases are regarded as being of a much higher quality to either of these box sets. You can see a YouTube video of this set on the videos page. |
