Took me about ten trips to HMV to get a decent playable pressing of this when it was first released.
Still have it - still comfortably numb.

It’s a strange album - clearly much more Waters influence - it’s not on my playlist a lot - while I love the CN track I find the earlier Floyd albums much easier to listen to - very happy that Nick Mason is playing the earlier tracks live - getting the the Pompei album for Xmas

My favourite Floyd album is The Final Cut, to me it`s a much more accomplished album than The Wall.
Some of the lyrics are just poetic and it`s one of those albums that when you listen to on head phones, you hear all kinds of whispers and background stuff going on, that your ears can`t normally can`t pick up.
It`s a pretty brutal listen though, as it`s just so dark and apocalyptic and you really have to be in the mood to listen to it.
The last track, Two Suns in the Sunset, still gets me every time I listen to it.

I thought I was the only one who's favourite Pink Floyd album is The Final Cut. Definitely a Roger Waters album & the album that split them up, I love The Gunner's Dream. I will be listening to that on the train down on Saturday

Was HMV in the precinct by the cinema & Dog and Trumpet? I bought my copy in there and managed to get it home unscathed in my rucksack riding my motorbike back to Rugby after a day at Coventry Technical College.

It`s up there with Wish You Were Here as their finest work ( imo )
I actually think Not Now John, which was released as a single, is the weakest track on the whole album.

I took my Wish you were here back - if you remember was in a black plastic film - had to remove that obviously but on first play I thought the sound was off where the radio is crackly in the background - I made them open a new one in Our price records Kingston and play it on their syst before I believed them

Yes it was.
Me and a couple of mates from Climax Widd Rd used th skive off up there regularly to browse records and then have a brew and a batch in the D& T.

Tough listen, although I often do.
WYWH stands out head and shoulders above though IMHO.

Vera. Every time my missus watches that particular programme, my inner Floyd goes straight into 'does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?'...

Gilmour. You're quite right, Kneeza. I deserve a good slap!Or Gilmour

. Incidentally, Vera Lynn was born on the exact same day as my dad. March 20th 1917. He just wasn't as famous!

Listening to Supertramp today after sad death of Rick Davies. Listened to a lot way back when.

Been listening a lot to Sigur Ros recently (apologies if anyone has mentioned them on here before). As I get older, I appreciate pieces of music which have some form of crescendo to them and this video of them doing one of their songs, Ara Batur, at Abbey Road is f*&king brilliant.
Some of their stuff is a bit experimental but some of it I love. They're at the Royal Albert Hall in a couple of weeks so tempted to get a ticket.
I put this on loud and towards the end if gives me goosebumps:

Haven't listened to them for a while, nice one for reminding me to sort that out! Glosoli from Takk and no. 3 from ( ) are about as good as music gets.

I've been listening to Hoppipolla for quite a while and more recently that Ara Batur performance at Abbey Road but will give those a listen

Both tracks are miles ahead of that one. I'll dig out some live versions and post them in here. You need to blast them loud on good speakers or through good headphones at good streaming quality esp. Glosoli, It's got a build and peak that's off the scale good.
