As I have said before, Pink Floyd is not the kind of band you should make a greatest hits disc for. This compilation isn't bad. The songs are all spectacular, but it needs more. "Money" is OK by itself, but it needs the rest of ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' to be at its best. The same goes with "Sheep" and "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)." One accidental (I assume) gem that came out of this is that it contains all the best material from ''Wish You Were Here'' all in one shot (with the exception of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VIII-IX)"). I believe that this is what ''Wish You Were Here'' would have sounded like (again, with the exception of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VIII-IX)") if there were no obligations to fit the songs on to an LP or have 45 minutes of material. I recommend this to only the true Pink Floyd freaks (such as myself,) only for the alternate versions of "Money" and "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)." For those of you who want to start listening to Floyd, do not look into buying a compilation album. Get one of their best full-length albums (any of their 70s albums,) or, if you're into psychedelic music, try ''The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'' or ''A Saucerful of Secrets.''Read full review

Fine for a casual Floyd fan, but by no means definitive. For the Floyd fanatic who wants everything, it's fine, too. I nice edit of Shine On You Crazy Diamond and a remake of Money, with all instruments by David Gilmour. Not an essential version, but interesting. A good collection if you don't pay too much.
