Hymieg's Note:

I am not really a big Pink Floyd fan to be honest. I actually acquired this box set for the princely sum of $0. It has been sitting in my closet since 1999. When I noticed it the other day, I decided to rip/post it for Floyd fans here on Dime to enjoy.

The web sites I have looked at claim it to be a numbered release. My copy is not numbered, and it is complete (cheesy, flimsy outer box, 6cd's in individual clear sleeves and folder to hold them all,bubble wrap, 64 p. booklet, the seal, etc.). A few reviews mention a "reissue" - my copy may come from that release.

A link to a review of the box set can be found at:

Feel free to encode to lossy old .mp3 for personal use, just don't spread it online that way.

I own quite a few other silver cd's from the days when we had no choice but to buy them. I plan to liberate them all as time permits.
