Echoes "Best Of" gets repackaged |

Sidling quietly onto North American
record store shelves at the start of this month (October 3rd, to be
exact) came a slightly different looking version of the Pink Floyd's
"best of" compilation, Echoes.
Released by Capitol in the US,
and EMI Music Canada north of the border, the new edition features a
new, biodegradable wrap. Whilst most wraps are fairly dispensible, this
one actually makes a point of its environmental credentials and even
suggests that you can safely discard it!
The wrap covers the standard
packaging as released back in 2001. The normal inlay/booklet, featuring
complex and detail-drenched Storm Thorgerson artwork, hinting at
various aspects of the band's history, is unaltered. The CDs
themselves, featuring remastered (and in some cases, re-edited)
classics, are also unchanged.
The new wrap certainly brings the
contents to the attention of the casual shopper and this is presumably
why it has been introduced. We're pleased that the record companies
haven't removed the original artwork, as so often happens during
repackaging exercises.
Should you not already have the compilation, this new version can be ordered through the following special links: Amazon US/International, Canada, and as an import from Amazon UK/Europe, France, or Germany.
Any item bought through these links at Amazon (not just Floyd items)
helps with the running costs of the site, and we really appreciate it.
