A nice article.
The writer asks why we are keen to snap up copies of the Aussies playing WYWH and Animals ? Easy answer to that one. Its because the band do both albums so well ! They are very slightly different from the originals,which we have all had for years and are as equally good and enjoyable. We buy them because we can.
Spot on bigdog, with the additional comment from me that as the aussie versions are live recordings it makes them particularly enjoyable and sufficiently different from the studio recordings by Pink Floyd to justify having both in my music collection.
