Atom Heart Mother, for all its glories, was an acquired taste, and Pink Floyd wisely decided to trim back its orchestral excesses for its follow-up, Meddle. Opening with a deliberately surging One of These Days, Meddle spends most of its time with sonic textures and elongated compositions, most notably on its epic closer, Echoes. If there aren t pop songs in the classic sense even on the level of the group s contributions to Ummagumma , there is a uniform tone, ranging from the pastoral A Pillow of Winds to Fearless, with its insistent refrain hinting at latter-day Floyd. Pink Floyd were nothing if not masters of texture, and Meddle is one of their greatest excursions into little details, pointing the way to the measured brilliance of Dark Side of the Moon and the entire Roger Waters era. Here, David Gilmour exerts a slightly larger influence, at least based on lead vocals, but it s not all sweetness and light -- even if its lilting rhythms are welcome, San Tropez feels out of place with the rest of Meddle. Still, the album is one of the Floyd s most consistent explorations of mood, especially from their time at Harvest, and it stands as the strongest record they released between Syd s departure and Dark Side.
EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/
One of the greatest, and most memorable, albums by the founding fathers of British psych/prog movement and the last GREAT album Pink Floyd made before they started playing more commercial music . As far as we are concerned this is truly the greatest Pink Floyd album ever and a must-have Track listing: One of these days- A Pillow of Winds - Fearless - San Tropez - Seamus Echoes. Finding a still sealed original copy of this Pink Floyd classic? ? Forget it not even a HOPE This may be the last one you will ever see.

CONDITION:
THE RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them.
b The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
