[edit] Recent revision of pictures?

What happened here? this article was very nice and now ... not so much. This used to be an excellent discography? I saw that they were removed by A Man In Black...what was the problem? many discographys have this identical layout. Were the images too big? I saw you cited rule #8, which seemed totally satisfied, they contributed greatly and were not merely decorative. All those same images were used in the actual album pages too. I am confused. and as for rule #3...If the image sized were bumpped down could they stay (even though they were not all that big to start with, by no means big enough to be used for piracy)? The copy rights under all of these images allow for this exact thing do they not? I feel a revert is in order...Ostrolphant 17:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I think the images should be put back. Not looking at the legal aspects, the page looks so boring and it doesn't convey the correct purpose of the page, which is to show all of the Pink Floyd releases at a glance. I think it is kinda ridiculous to take the album covers away from a page that lists albums. I haven't seen this done anywhere else on Wikipedia. Auhsor 16:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singles and EPs

Information about singles and EPs is missing. This should be added.

[edit] Soundtracks

I don't want to mess up the layout, but More and Obscured... belong under 'Studio Albums'; tat's what they are. Andy Mabbett 22:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

"I don't want to mess up the layout, but More and Obscured... belong under 'Studio Albums'; tat's what they are". I fully agree. Somebody should fix it.

What about albums sold?? i would like to know the approx. amount of albums sold worldwide for each floyd record. i only know very vague figures, like DSOTM selling 40m or something, but this should be added.

[edit] The wall album sales

This really is the best selling pink floyd album in the US with sales of 23 million although it is a double album it was only counted once for each sale by the RIAA as it is under 100 minutes. Simon P

[edit] Someone's been deleting some non charting singles

I'm pretty sure Flaming, Apples and Oranges, Point Me At The Sky, It Would Be So Nice, One of These Days, The Nile Song, Have A Cigar and Comfortably Numb were all singles, as The Pink Floyd Archives has info on all of them, and "Apples", "Point" and "It" all are known. "Point Me At The Sky"'s B-side was "Careful With That Axe, Eugene". So according to whoever deleted the single, this song does not exist. I've fixed it, though Doc Strange 16:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, I own all the above. So do these not exist? Am I lying, when i have the Apples and Oranges and Have a Cigar singles on my desk right now, the rest within reach? Doc Strange 16:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Curious; why do the "vinyl singles (60's)" have their own section, apart from the full singles section (in which they are also listed in?) Tarc 13:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, very curious Doc Strange 22:54, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] International Variations in the Release of Singles

I'd like to point out that in the UK, Pink Floyd's country of origin, for the years up to 1987 only "Arnold Layne", "See Emily Play", "Apple and Oranges", "It Would Be So Nice", "Point Me At The Sky", "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)", "When The Tigers Broke Free", "Not Now John", "Learning to Fly" (CD Only), and "On the Turning Away" were ever released as singles. However, there is no way of telling this from this page. Could we add something like "N/A" to the chart position column where a single wasn't realised in that country? People reading might wonder why a single like "Money" didn't chart in the UK, without realising that it was never realised there. Unicorn27 16:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, however, this should be a footnote Doc Strange 19:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Pulse video release date

Since the original VHS release date of Pulse is 1995, not 2006, I think that is the date that should listed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeshead (talk • contribs) 22:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "This page lists Pink Floyd albums and singles"

This page lists Pink Floyd albums and singles.

Well, give a link to where compilations are listed... wait there they are at the bottom of the page, so that sentence is invalid perhaps... Jidanni (talk) 22:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
