Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer — and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Geoff –
Side 1 is fantastic enough. But then the magnificent “Echoes” takes up all of Side 2 and it is Pink Floyd bliss. For me, ‘Meddle’ is one of the best Pink Floyd albums! I will never forget seeing the ‘Pompeii’ movie many years ago and being amazed and intrigued by the band playing in the big Roman amphitheater. The music was so atmospheric, especially the big long piece, which of course is “Echoes”. I went out the next day and bought the ‘Meddle’ LP… and played and played that record (I have owned a few other copies since). With the Dr. Who-like “One of These Days”, singing dog “Seamus” and glorious “Fearless”, Side 1 is fantastic enough. But then the magnificent “Echoes” takes up all of Side 2 and it is Pink Floyd bliss. 5 Hugely Radiant Stars!!!!!

Pink Floyd were masters of texture, and Meddle is one of their greatest excursions into little details… Atom Heart Mother, for all its glories, was an acquired taste, and Pink Floyd wisely decided to trim back its orchestral excesses for its follow-up, Meddle. Opening with a deliberately surging “One of These Days,” Meddle spends most of its time with sonic textures and elongated compositions, most notably on its epic closer, “Echoes.” If there aren’t pop songs in the classic sense (even on the level of the group’s contributions to Ummagumma), there is a uniform tone, ranging from the pastoral “A Pillow of Winds” to “Fearless,” with its insistent refrain hinting at latter-day Floyd. Pink Floyd were nothing if not masters of texture, and Meddle is one of their greatest excursions into little details, pointing the way to the measured brilliance of Dark Side of the Moon and the entire Roger Waters era. Here, David Gilmour exerts a slightly larger influence, at least based on lead vocals. The album is one of the Floyd’s most consistent explorations of mood, especially from their time at Harvest, and it stands as the strongest record they released between Syd’s departure and Dark Side.
