I had this one too, long ago. It wasn't bad at the time, because it wasn't easy to get some of those tunes when I bought it.

Hello all, new member here but long time Floyd fan. I stumbled upon your site doing research on what I believe to be a rare Floyd vinyl I picked up yesterday an was wondering if I can get any help? It is a MCV The Committee and other stories soundtrack supposedly limited to 300, any info would be helpful, thanks!

the other three Floydian vinyl boots in the J Edwardian Archives of Fine Toonage:

Dark Side of the Moo (various official rarities)
back in vinyl days this was an easy way to get all those rare tracks in one place, and also included Scream The Last Scream (but not Vegetable Man)
and it costed the same as a normal album too, essential to a complete vinyl collection

Image
Rhapsody In Pink (BBC material 1968-71)
very professional looking artwork and perfect sound, credited to The Screaming Abdabs
the back cover, not shown on the Vinyl Boots page, has a dozen colourful pictures representing each song
this cd artwork seems to faithfully replicate the original design

Image
The Abdabs: A Great Set (Oakland 1977)
a three record set, very professionally designed in the style of A Nice Pair
note the photo of Floyd the Barber, from the old Andy Griffith sitcom, tinted pink
also note the lady up top has three breasts, one better than A Nice Pair
this also has really cool customised labels, representing the songs on each side
and the astute will not the songs have been resequenced to fit the limitations of vinyl but rather creatively, making for some nice matchups

I have the idea these last two, maybe all three, were produced by the same people as the quality of the packaging is so high and rather clever - these people knew their Floyd

Find the Nick Mason's lucky apple-pie-flavoured cracker and get your pair of inflatable pig's balls!

And I hope the lucky winner is J Ed since it's his 5000th post :)
