Which Album Would You Choose as Next Immersion Box Set?

[NUMBER61]

i have voted for the piper because it's the best phychedelic pop album ever recorded and would like to hear what else syd wrote/recorded at that time,

but,

please not in the same form as the previous immersion editions.

the record industry is in decline due to a sharing facility we call the internet, and as it goes down all alone it is dragged down by the stone of greed which is of its own making,

e.g. these box sets,

i no longer wish to line the pockets of those faceless record companys.

haven't nick and david prostituted rogers baby enough.

I would love to see a Saucerful of Secrets Box Set come out, with the Syd tracks Vegetable Man, Scream Thy Last Scream, John Latham.

Ps. Just for you folks who are game, try to segue Remember a Day with Scream Thy Last Scream. Remember A Day has some wah-wah at the end which is again found in STLS. Interesting, I thought, because it may mean that those were really meant to be on the album but removed at the last moment.

Also if you listen to the repeated fill Mason* is playing in RAD it is almost exactly the same as the fill at the start of STLS. The only problem is that STLS was recorded in August 67 and RAD in October, so if you are suggesting they were intended or recorded to be contiguous I think it is unlikely, though not impossible. I think it just indicates that they'd settled into a style and a way of doing things and using wah on the organ was part of that.

*I know Mason said Norman Smith plays drums on RAD but frankly I don’t think he has a clue who did what when and where. I think he’s mixing up Paintbox, which has drumming unlike any other Pink Floyd song and another Wright song (Remember a Day) on which the drumming is very like him (like Set the Controls as well) and almost the same as the drum intro to Scream Thy Last Scream.

I hope the pre-Piper stuff that Mason has talked about enthusiastically (Walk With Me Sydney, and all that) comes out along with anything left in the archive from 67 and 68. I’d like Seabirds to come out somehow, the little glimpse in the film is of a very promising PF song.

Interesting. Maybe more titles were (partly or fully) drummed by someone else than Mason? I think the (pre-1968) Barrett Mason sounds different than the (post-1968) Waters Mason.

Here's a cover version. Maybe it's based on the sheet music that has been published.

I voted for The Final Cut, because that record means a lot to me. I would love to get more material about it.

Wow, you want leftovers of leftovers of the wall. Brave, very brave!

[RonToon]

I would chose Meddle.

[RonBaker2003]

OK...I'm ready. When? I bought the vinyl the day it was released back when I was but a young'un. Now I want the immersion set. Can't wait!

[rememberaday]

A Meddle boxset for me is fine, but not essential, because I've heard enough versions of Echoes. How 'bout an Atom Heart Mother boxset? Nope, that'll never happen - Roger and David will immediately refuse!

[Keith Jordan]

Meddle! I hope the chatterings are true on the grape vine that there is one in the works.. Immersion edition that is. That would be great.

A Piper set should exist independly from the Saucerful era, otherwise I fear much would be left off. If there is to be only one immersion set for the pre-Piper, Piper, and Saucerful eras, than it should focus primarily on the Barrett material. Just put it all out there for posterity. It's about damn time. Mason said some of the Barrett songs have already been mixed. They were intended to go onto the Barrett Introduction CD, but at the last minute were not included because of the Immersion series campaign. Get on with it now

Here is a possible Piper immersion Set..excluding the wealth of Barrett material from late 67

Disc 1 Piper stereo

King Bee
Double O Bo
Lucy Leave

There is enough material here to do a 3 CD set of only 65-68 studio rarities, BBC, and live tracks. There is no reason to conform to the formats already established with the first 3 Immersion sets. Just make a Barrett era rarities compilation that would look much like a Beatles Anthology set from the 90's. It would sell like hotcakes. Every Barrett fan would want one. As well as many stripes of Pink Floyd fans. A Barrett era Immersion set. Everyone would be happy.

[maidenpriest]

my favourite album of theirs is Animals but i doubt there'd be enough to fill an Immersion box set from that period.

Really?

Live material of Animals and WYWH, plus Money and Us and Them
Demos of Dogs and Sheep from 1974
Demos of Dogs, Sheep and Pigs from 1976/77
There are tonnes of photos from 1977 tour
Probably photos from the studio when they were recording the album
Could make a 5.1 mix
Pig scarfe

An inflatable pig would be the obvious inclusion IMO

[bigV]

Division Bell (an unpopular choice, I know). I read that they recorded tons of stuff for it and there was plenty that was good (a PF demo of "Breakthrough"?). Also, I'm really hoping for a longer version of "Cluster One". Like 2 hours long

the 1987-1994 era has plenty of stuff out there too make a half decent immersion boxsets, b side live recordings from 1994 tons of video footage from both tours.

I would love too see a Animals and a pre DSOTM boxset again loads of video other goodies around that time
