Pink Floyd – The Wall Vinyl

“The Wall” is the 11th studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in November 1979, this release is remastered from the original analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante, and Bernie Grundman. This album is the last studio release 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 three albums prior to “The Wall”, this release 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 1980s and will be right at home in any record collection.
