Pink Floyd - The Wall Remastered

great

Excelente!!!!

I've owned Pink Floyd "The Wall" on cassette, early vinyl, CD, and now this heavy vinyl reissue. It is my favorite rock album overall. I remember purchasing this record on cassette when it first came out. After listening to it all the way through for the first time in 1980, it was clear to me that it was and is an extraordinary classic, arguably PF's greatest album. This is PF's most fully realized album with so much happening both musically and lyrically that it challenges you to listen and understand the powerful concept and all of the tragedy that feeds into it. I remember being 16 years old when it was first released and digging into the lyrics to understand their message. It was then and some 30 odd years later it still is an emotionally powerful album. "The Wall" just doesn't succeed as a rock album; it succeeds as a true work of art. It is like a Shakespeare tragedy that's not designed to make us happy, but to help us learn from life's sufferings on both an historical level and on a personal level. Don't we all build walls in our lives in some way? The message of "The Wall" is to break down the walls that prevent us from being truly happy people. You're probably more interested in the reissue rather than my musings about the album's art. It's a very nice 180 gram pressing that was remastered by James Guthrie, who was one of the original people who worked on "The Wall". The source tapes were used. The remaster is excellent, and it sounds good right out of the jacket. I cleaned the visually perfect records with a VPI wet/vac RCM, and the sound was illuminated after the cleaning. I played the records with my classic SONY STR-V5 85 watts/channel clean power receiver with a Technics turntable equipped with a GRADO cartridge through a pair of NHT Classic Three book shelf speakers on stands. I used the flat response settings. The sound is rich and full, yet it sounds balanced. I did encounter some noise on Side 3 in some spots, but I'm thinking further RCM cleanings will reduce or eliminate the noise. The packaging is very nice. The jacket has much of the original artwork and some new artwork on the back. It comes with a big 32"x38" poster that has all of the album's lyrics with the white brick wall in the background. You also receive a card with a code to complete a free MP3 download of the entire album. You get pink poly inner sleeves as well as the original paper sleeves (heavier than the original sleeves) with the lyrics on them that came with the original vinyl release. Overall this is an excellent reissue. Some have complained about the price. Great music will command a higher price, and we're talking about one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Whether or not what's in this package is worth it to you will depend on your own personal standards. If this album means as much to you as it does to me, you will have to have it, and remember, "...the ones who really love you walk up and down outside the wall...".

High quality edition. I like the paper packaging (no jewel case). It's a great rock opera and a classic album. Love Floyd.

First got this album at the beach in South Carolina due to the rain. Oh yeah, that was 1981. Got home a few days later and put it on the turntable. Magic! Of course this has absolutely nothing to do with the Amazon order. I got the 2 disc cd after reminiscing about that week. It came on time, and in perfect shape. No need to worry about cracked cd cases. It's in a light cardboard case. Sounds great. Oh, and, "Teachers, leave those kids alone!" "All in all, you're just another brick in the wall" Peace out

Definitely used but good condition and adds to the retro vibes for my father, I told him I thrifted it.

2011 remaster sounds good but not great. Still a little murky. Some good low bass. Never had this happen before but the cd's were stuck down in the paper stock envelope if you will. Took some tugging to get out. One disc slightly scratched. Terrible packaging.

Exactly what I wanted and delivered quickly.

Inspelad och mixad analogt, ska lyssnas analogt så var rädd om skivan, eller köp cd(eller streama via någon musiktjänst)

Acquistato qui su Amazon e spedito da Amazon UK, risparmiando 10€ rispetto al prezzo proposto da una nota catena di librerie. Ho ricevuto questa copia di The Wall ben imballata e sigillata nella pellicola originale, con hype sticker intatto. La copia ricevuta è quella del remaster del 2016 ad opera di Bernie Grundman, quindi ancor prima di mettere il disco sul piatto avevo già delle aspettative abbastanza alte. Entrambi i dischi ricevuti sono belli piatti, puliti e senza difetti estetici. L’ascolto sul mio impianto è piacevolmente silenzioso, senza frusci o altri problemi. Anche il remastering è ottimo, con un soundstage ampio e una separazione degli strumenti davvero notevole, senza mai mancare di corposità o peccare di compressione come letto in altre recensioni. Non posso fare paragoni col first pressing non avendolo mai ascoltato, ma rispetto all’album in versione FLAC in mio possesso, questa edizione del 2016 è di altissima qualità e prevedo che rimarrà a lungo nella mia collezione. Testato con: - giradischi Pro-Ject con piatto in acrilico, testina Ortofon OM10 - Pro-Ject Phono E - preamplificatore B1 con valvola Korg, da un progetto di Nelson Pass - amplificatore SMSL AO200 - diffusori Elac Debut b5.2

Otro buen disco de pink floyd, lo compre por las buenas reseñas que tiene este álbum y no me ha defraudado. Bob Ezrin es parte de la producción...

Thank you to seller. Cd came in great condition more over at great price. As it was mentioned used but the condition was extremely excellent. Not even a single scratch on cd and cover. Happy to have it 🤘🏻 One of my favorite cds.

Ooit gekocht maar verloren gegaan. Prachtige persing van prachtige muziek. Goed verpakt.
