We had a customer with a Triumph TR5 with Quadraphonic sound and 8 track player in the early 70s and if in the workshop it was cranked up full volume with Pink Floyd's clocks all ticking until the alarms go off.
My sons current fave artist is Pink Floyd. He's listened to every album multiple times! PF are timeless.We had a customer with a Triumph TR5 with Quadraphonic sound and 8 track player in the early 70s and if in the workshop it was cranked up full volume with Pink Floyd's clocks all ticking until the alarms go off.
I still have the Lp's of theirs and Don Mclean, Crosby, Stils, Nash and Young, Emmerson Lake and Palmer etc. to relive my youth.
I agree Cd's etc sound better than my crackly LP's. Born to be Wild was my favourite driving sound after watching Easy Rider in the cinema.
Wish I was that age now.
Relics,The Wall, Dark Side Of The Moon are LPs I still have. I see Time was the track with the alarms going off.

Sadly no longer young free and single, just the last bit.
I agree, a few beers did the trick, never had the need for anything else.LOL.
My fave song is Comfortably numb. Like after lots of beer
I'm currently listening to Andwellas Dream on Youtube, i've never knowingly listened but it sounds good.
Did you see the LP cover artwork?
A bit out there lol. They are under rated from my initial listen. I'm surprised they weren't bigger.
Image just walking out of the store with the Dark Side Of The Moon 8 track in your hand. Now, sitting in your car, carefully unwrapping the cellophane from the tape, feeling it crackling in your fingers. Start the car, pop the tape in the player, drive off with the volume up just a tad too loud because you're 17 and haven't yet screwed up your hearing. Bear in mind, you've never heard much Pink Floyd because Rock AM only plays Top 40 and FM isn't a thing yet. Your old man has his car radio locked on a boring country station(one one six ohh, WJJD. A Plough Broadcasting Station) with the warning, "Change My Radio Station And You Die".We had a customer with a Triumph TR5 with Quadraphonic sound and 8 track player in the early 70s and if in the workshop it was cranked up full volume with Pink Floyd's clocks all ticking until the alarms go off.

As a teenager with my first few cars, I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg for all the new stuff still living at home then, so going out at night with girlfriends parked up listening to the radio was a new freedom. I recall one time parked up in some wooded area after "playing mums and dads
" glancing out and seeing a glimpse of a red light and thinking some bast**d was watching us, only to realise it was the reflection of our cigarettes!
The Byrds "wasn't born to follow" for me - the middle "psychedelic" section is absolutely wonderful played loud on a good system. Got the film on DVD and was watching some of it just the other day.Born to be Wild was my favourite driving sound after watching Easy Rider in the cinema.

Comfortably numb, oh yes! again, played loud on a decent setup. David Gilmore's guitar playing, 'specially that solo around 4.5 minutes in, Oh man! Come to think of it, almost anything he plays is absolutely something else.LOL.

Not for me man, just let yourself get transported away with David's playing and forget the world. If you really want to get depressed just listen to Chris Rea's "Tell me there's a heaven" with your cans on and eye's closed - so you're isolated from all outside influences then play it moderately loud and feel the tears rolling down your cheeks!
A real Petrol head without any doubt. I haven't read that one yet but I've just finished "The Bugatti Queen" about a french girl who, from very humble beginnings back in the 1920's rose, via an early career as a dancer and "escort"? - is that the word I'm looking for? - to be probably the most famous female driver of her time, friend and lover of the good and the great back in those days, until she was denounced as a Nazi informer/collaborater and finished her days in poverty living in a one room in the back streets of Nice/Marseilles. A cracking good read even if you're not so much into cars.I have the "ping" from the opening of Echoes as my phone's message notification
If you like autibiographies the PF drummer Nick Mason is a good read, was reasonably priced on ebay.

I have been fortunate as only been seriously depressed twice and once the Decree Absolute went through that went away.
