#The final cut pink floyd professional#
We’re not exactly sure, but it sounds as though this was recorded in a professional studio, so it is very likely that somewhere in this big world, a sonically superior copy exists.Ĭredits: Jim Canale and Free Range Pigs would like to thank the following people for their contributions to this effort:Īlejandro Gibaut for graciously providing the Source Recording. While the sound quality is not “disappointing”, the recording does “show it’s age” in some places. We won’t be listing all of the differences here, so you can enjoy your own personal exploration of this work in progress.įree Range Pigs is releasing this volume for its historical significance. In some places the difference between this and the actual release are subtle, and in other places, the differences are quite stark, changing the overall tone of some of the meanings inferred from the actual release. It appears to be from a working set of demo tapes that were used as the actual blueprint for The Final Cut – the last album that Pink Floyd would release with Roger Waters in the lineup. We have no legitimate doubts as to the authenticity of this recording. I can't speak to the digital copies, CD and so on, would imagine they are sourced from the same files and would sound equally impressive.For some reason this recording has not been heavily circulated, and is shrouded in mystery. Meddle sounds the best I've ever heard it, even from my UK Harvest original pressing.Īnyone into Floyd should pick up a couple copies on vinyl and try them out. Wish You Were Here, will blow your mind it's just that good, especially the phenomenal resolution, sound stage, and dynamics on Welcome To The Machine. Been into them since the '70's Animals era, and honestly if these new pressings sounded bad, I'd be all over them like flies on S#it.
I'm an old school Floyd fan who owns their material on digital and vinyl. Pulse on 4 slabs of vinyl sounds the best I've ever heard it other than when I attended the Division Bell shows at RFK Stadium, Washington DC, July 9,1994. High quality quiet vinyl pressings with equally high quality files from the original tapes equal an absolutely top shelf listening experience. My system while not the best, is pretty good if I say so myself, and I can tell you these albums truly sound excellent. All the hoopla and negative press generated because these albums were pressed using high resolution masters from the original analog tapes is unfounded and I question just how many posters actually own or have listened to them. I now own most of the latest crop of reissues on vinyl, having opened and played Meddle, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall thus far. previous to 2011, it was 20 years or more since new vinyl versions of the complete catalog were released. TFC is one of the remaining latest reissues I still need to pick up on vinyl, just so I have a current complete new set on vinyl, since no one knows how long it will be till these albums are released again. On the 2016-2019 reissues, the added 'When The Tigers Broke Free', previously released only as a single or on the Echos CD/Vinyl sets. So much for the theory records wear out if you play them.Ī clean copy shouldn't be that hard to find, as many fans under-appreciated the title during release, since it's more of a solo vehicle for Roger Waters, the conclusion to The Wall, since some tracks date to Wall's sessions. Even the lead in and dead wax are acceptably quiet for an album of its age and the number of times I've played it in 35+ years. Sound quality is off the charts, providing 3D sound that is wide and deep, with focused vocals, with all around the room experience. With The Final Cut, the group a trio, following the sacking of keyboard player Rick Wright – had become, through. A decade earlier, the material for Dark Side had been worked up thoroughly on the road, and all four band members had writing credits on the record. Its dead quiet, totally flat, does not skip or possess other audible issues. Almost 10 years to the day since the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon, Pink Floyd’s album The Final Cut was released. A pair of slightly older uncles introduced me to them at age 9, and my life was never the same.Īs far as The Final Cut is concerned, my go-to copy is the US 1983 CBS pressing (original) which was purchased at the time of release new for 6.99$.
I began listening to them buying their music on vinyl and tape, as well as attending their attending concerts for 45 years. Let me start off by saying I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd and The Final Cut.
