Pink Floyd have released an "ultimate collection", including previously unreleased materials. The new release involves some real music production history which should be properly understood as well as the history of the band.
There were two Floyds- The Syd Barrett Floyd, incorporating the mercurial Barrett as perhaps one of the most underrated songwriter in UK musical history along with Nick Drake, and the hyper-successful Floyd of the Dark Side of the Moon days. Arguably, the band was more adventurous prior to Dark Side.
If you haven’t heard much of Floyd, or don’t know the historical progression, the repack (hopefully the last of far too many) will put the band’s development in perspective. It’ll also explain quite a lot about the recording techniques which at the time were considered miraculous.
