This is so excellent and coherent, it almost hurts. So good.

If you are already familiar with the beauty and genius that is Pink Floyd, why not add this masterpiece to your collection?

Also, newcomers alike. Don't be afraid, this is the way to go, a wonderful place to start your Pink Floyd -journey. (That's how I started, and haven't looked back since..)

Although this is a rock-opera, hence tells a story and is a concept-album like many other Pink Floyd -albums, that doesn't mean you can't remove the songs out of the context.

Though I strongly recommend you to listen to this through several times, to get the story straight and to be amazed by the aching beauty of this work. But do feel free jump to your favourites after that, if you want to.

I do so, but I also listen to the whole album from time to time.

This is one of my all-time favourites!

My highlights include: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Goodbye Blue Sky, Another Brick In The Wall ( all three parts, but especially part I), Thin Thin Ice and Young Lust.

Oh, did I already say, that this is ReCoMMenDeD... :oD ( Very warmly and highly)

[2012 Immercion box set]
Would of gave it 5 stars but I found the visual material to be less than perfect. Sure it's nice to have the documentary [finally - especially after the low quality editions found on the Internet] but there isn't really much else. And why no Blu-ray?
Would of loved to see all or part of a Wall concert from the era on DVD and Blu-ray.
Also lacking is a DVD audio and Blu-ray audio of the album itself - after all Wish You were Here and Dark Side of the mOnn had them.
Packaging is like the others but with one exception. Digipack spots are available for 4 of the v6 CDs and 1 DVd [what about the 3 others?] but all 7 discs come in cardboard sleeves. I guess the studio album and the live album get the digipack treatments.
It's nice to see the excerpts and full track demos done primarily by Waters and with the band.
Unsure why the live album released about 12 years ago was included. It was part of a separate release [this is where they could of been replaced by an unreleased live DVD and Blu-ray instead].
Once again 3 marbles [and a bag] and memorabilia duplicates, plus the scarf, a print, a huge poster-like sheet with the lyrics [interesting because the lyrics are already in one of two books], 2 books with pictures and info, etc.
Started to listen to the studio album and the first thing I noticed is the volume is lower than the last few albums I played. Second thing I noticed is that CD 1 is about a dozen seconds shorter than the remastered version from 1997.

This is a version of the wall not even played by floyd. It is remixed with tencho tracks and is terrible. I made the mistake of buying it. I do not recommend buying it

The out of phase album clearly says T R I B U T E are you all stupid. Or would the floyd release a T R I B U T E album of their own work. OR would they call upon those nice marketing heads at their record company to develop a nice new case and book for The Wall LIVE album. By the way I bought 'Is anybody out there?' and it is quality, ah well boys and girls I'm sure the out of phase version is far better than a dodgy recording from the early 80's INNIT. I laugh at your misfortune

This is only a COVER BAND.

Against the wall till it explodes if you give this album anything less the 5 stars. The sheer amount of effort that went into this record is monumental. Everything from the weight of the records to the packaging is just superb. Not to mention songs like Young Lust, Another Brick in The Wall, Hey You, Comfortably Numb (just to name a few) turn the rectangular bricks that built The Wall into the most well rounded album every created. Be it the cry of Gilmours Guitar or the sound of Waters voice, this album is an absolute classic from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend this album (in LP format) to those who enjoy good music.

Still as good as ever, and the sound quality is fantastic. Very happy to have this classic back in my collection.

Who'd have thought it possible? Can you really rediscover something, having listened to it from the time it first came out, several decades later? The answer is YES!

What the Floyd have done here is rewarded their fans for all the years of loyalty. They said thanks for the ride, thanks for sticking with us, and here's a little something for you now. Please note though, I'm talking specifically of Floyd Fans, not the casual listener. The casual listener does not need several versions of the same album.

The true fan, however, has something akin to a collectable vinyl. We now have several versions to compare, digest and immerse ourselves in. We have tons of extras to pour over and read and talk about and read again and talk about some more. This is like getting the album on the day of release back in the late '70's all over again. This is like watching the original Star Wars Trilogy when Lucas first remastered them (admit it, watching them in the cinema again 20 years later was awesome). All the flaws taken out, all the majesty and brilliance you remember, offered up in the best possible quality available.

Old fan of Pink Floyd, I was buying this product for both the live& demo music CDs and the visual material.
Concerning the music, this really is a complete set surrounding The Wall and the quality is excellent.
Concerning the visual material, this is about fine. Personally, I would have appreciate more, and for some articles... much more quality!

Nice packaging.

I have the original CD and compared it with this one. Try as I would I could not detect any difference whatsoever between the two. If anything there might be a bit more brilliance and bite to the original. I can't be sure.
