Pink Floyd
We are puzzled by the fact that advertisements for the new Pink Floyd
double-live album, Pulse, declare enthusiastically that it
"contains a complete performance of Dark Side of the
Moon." We are willing to concede that one might wish to own
Dark Side of the Moon. But why on earth would one wish to pay
money for a recording of a live performance of an album noted mostly for its
studio sound? Especially when the original record is hardly rare and would be
much cheaper (and what Floyd fan wouldn't own the damn thing already?).
Ah, the mysteries of capitalismŠ
