Pink Floyd seem to release a compilation album about once every ten years.
Relics was in 1971, A Collection Of Great Dance Songs was in 1981, the Shine On boxset in 1992 included the early singles disc, Echoes was in 2001, and A Foot In The Door was in 2011.

If they stick to that timetable, we are due another one sometime in the next year or so.

What would you like to see on such a thing?

I don't really see the point, and don't forget with all the enhanced editions/box set releases we've had in the past few years I suspect they have already sold us all the leftover rubbish.

BTW you forgot Works Vol.1 (1983), the unofficial, but splendid collection covering the years 1967-73.

Works was done by their former label trying to cash in on the then-current The Final Cut.

They’ve always done big boxsets, starting with The First XI, then Shine One, etc etc.

At this stage in their career, the point is to catch the interest of the next upcoming crowd of music fans who weren’t old enough a decade ago.

Yeah I'm aware of the history of works, and I love it as a collection to recommend to anyone who's not familiar with their work. Of course it does include the elusive 'Embryo' and I think the mixes of Brain Damage / Eclipse on there are probably from the quadrophonic version of DSotM.

Relics and Delicate Sound of Thunder are the only Pink Floyd compilations I need, although a Pink Floyd family album would be nice, featuring the best of all their solo works. Smile

Delicate Sound of Thunder is not a compilation, it's a live album.

Hi,

Actually I was thinking that if there was such a new compilation, it would be about the use of their Quadraphonic Sound System in those very early days, which added dimensions to the music itself that made it better, and more enjoyable. Hearing things like "Echoes" and "One of These Days" in that Quad system, was really far out, to the point where I even commented on the original The Wall and how the Quad system made it better, and the later RW's version was cheap by comparison, and you did not get the true feeling of the girl crossing the whole room, like you did in the Quad shows. In RW's version it went from left to right on the stage over and out ... very cheesy, and you did not get the feeling that you were there, which you DID when the original was done.

There are a lot more bits and pieces that were augmented by the Quad system. "Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun" was one such piece, and its splashing on the gong's was very special, as they started on one spot and then started the next hit on the next spot, and so on, creating an echo effect that we do these days on a DAW or something else. It was the veritable echo chamber of the old days ... and it felt magnificent. 

Some of the digital things will hurt the ability to show this right and well. The use of an "echo chamber" would be one, as the sound from any echo utility I have ever found is so synthetic as to sound very boring on early material, and this was also a contention that Edgar Froese made about the early days of TD.

The only sad thing, is that the folks in charge of making these decisions, are not interested in the many different things that PF did to help create their sonic concerts that started way earlier than DSOTM, and the majority of fans has no idea ... seeing something like "Live in Pompeii" is a good example and we saw it done on a QUAD system in the theater, and the quality of the music movement was phenomenal, specially when DG was sitting fooling with his strings and sound ... today's listener has no idea how that sounded so spectacular then, and is so trivial now as to make a lot of the music mundane!

If they are going to do something, they need to do something SONIC about it all ... not just a bunch of things that have been released before ... heck, maybe even the Syd Barrett lines PF used for a long time on these early shows and kinda buried them in DSOTM and then killed them all for SOYCD.

For me, this new idea is of no interest whatsoever, since what made the band, is not what these releases are about at all ... too much of it is just a matter of saturating the market to ensure the continuation of the sales all around. Oh what the heck, the pictures are pretty ... right ... let me get the make up kit!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

you're just disagreeing for the sake of it.
A live album is a band playing live, a compilation is a collection of songs, "best of", "greatest hits" kind. 

So let's not say it's the same thing.

All in all it’s just another fancy box full of the same stuff - but even Newer and Improved-er than last time. Target audience of new & old fans who didn’t get the last box, and collectors who want every Floyd release whether it’s new or not. A fairly big market, all told.

I wouldn't call most live albums compilations despite taking material from, say, various albums
 
Not something I've really researched, but I would have thought that some albums that contain live material could be considered live compilation albums, such as when it is a compilation of live performances from different times. But if it is live album from one live performance (and maybe one live tour) then I would be less likely to refer to it a s live compilation album.   I like those compilation albums often that consist of previously unreleased material.

Just thought that I'd throw that into the conversation.

Not at all Cristi, just standing my ground.
By all means please, feel free to explain how it's not a compilation.

I'm good with Floyd releases. I've got everything I would want, plus doubles, triples and even quadruples in various formats. I'm done giving them any more money.

A live album is a live recording (d'oh) of one show or several shows of the same tour. 

Like Logan said, if you compile live songs from several tours of live albums, then it's a compilation. It's a rare situation though. 

Since the whole conversation started with Delicate Sound of Thunder, its a live album from the AMLOR tour. So I believe it's a live album and not a compilation. 

You want a great Floyd compilation, I recommend Relics (1971). Big smile

Thank you for making my point for me. FROM A TOUR. And is the case of pretty much all live albums (again Pics @ an Ex notwithstanding), they are songs from various nights and venues...wait for it...COMPLIED to make a live album.
BOOM !

You are just arguing semantics now. You are making everything confusing. 
Greatest Hits or Best Of is a compilation generally. 

I'm not making your point.

Probably the middle years box set. They did the early years and the later years, I’m sure they’re gonna do the middle years soon. Idk if that counts as a comp but we can certainly expect that to come out soon
