I heard this little gem on Radio 4 this morning. As a life long fan of Pink Floyd I cant really believe it happened that many years ago. When did I get to be this old..aarrrrgh!!
The album still remains hugely popular. It goes down a treat at concerts and as R4 said..its the greatest and biggest selling British Album of all time. I bow to the in depth knowledge of the BBC making this statement, and of course I would go along with it as avid fan numero uno. I havent actually got the sales figures on front of me but I think I heard mentioned..more than 25 million copies sold. Ive got one....in tape form!
I dont know if there are any other British Albums that could mount a challenge to this classic. Would be interested to hear what people think.
Pink Floyd were at the time...Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason. Sadly Rick Wright who Ive seen many times twinkling his keyboards died a few months back...so any prospect of a new concert now looks remote.
