PINK FLOYD – The Wall (2LP, Vinyl)

Limited double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Remastered from the original analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante, and Bernie Grundman. The Wall is the 11th studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in November 1979. It is the last studio album released with the line-up of guitarist David Gilmour, bass guitarist/lyricist Roger Waters, keyboardist Richard Wright, and drummer Nick Mason before Wright left the band. As with Pink Floyd’s prior three albums, The Wall is a concept album, exploring themes of abandonment and personal isolation. It is a rock opera that follows Pink, a character whom Waters modelled after himself and the band’s original leader, Syd Barrett. Waters conceived the album during Pink Floyd’s 1977 In the Flesh Tour, when his frustration with the audience became so acute that he imagined a wall between the audience and the stage. The album was one of the best-selling of 1980, and by 1999 it had sold over 23 million RIAA-certified units, making it the third highest certified album in the United States.

Description

The eleventh studio album by the English rock band and one of the most acclaimed concept albums of all time, ‘The Wall’ is renowned as Roger Waters’ Rock Opera, dealing with abandonment and personal isolation. Featuring the unique artwork of Gerald Scarfe, the album contains the singles ‘Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2’, a No.1 hit in the UK and the US, ‘Run Like Hell’ and ‘Comfortably Numb’. It was subsequently adapted for cinema by Alan Parker, featuring Bob Geldof in the lead role of Pink, a jaded rockstar whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society is symbolized by a wall.
