Rating: It's never been so anticipated, but today it finally arrived. The courier, as usual, leaves the package in the lobby of the building, rings my doorbell, and as soon as he hears my "who is it?" he replies with "Ama package..." and walks away, leaving the rest of the sentence for passersby to hear.
I have little time, I need to go down and retrieve the package before Peppino[1] is notified of the delivery and takes advantage, depriving me of the umpteenth copy of THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
I have them all, original vinyl, 180 grams, 2 and a half ounces (it's a little more, what do I do, leave it?), 100 grams,[2] golden ultradisc, CD, SACD, Betamax[3], various remasters, live DVD, DVD without video, Blu-Ray, making of DVD, and quadraphonic SACD. And the covers, shall we talk about them? There are those with the band's name on the spine, with an applicable sticker, with nothing, and posters with pyramids. The choice is wide. Next time dear George Hardie[4], however, don't forget the indigo, and if you got lucky that some good critics passed it off as a brilliant idea, admit it and don't pretend deep ignorance about the fundamental colors, which, as everyone knows, are seven.
50 TDSOTM box set inside you'll find everything mentioned above but remastered in 2023, a couple of super cool 7-inch records, a sumptuous suede booklet[5], great for drying the car and with formidable scoops that I'll soon list. The first bomb that becomes evident is that I spent more than 300 euros[6] (and you say who cares, I say whatever), the second is that the album will still be on the charts in 2035, even if you can't buy diesel cars. "Comfortably Numb" is included, eliminating "eclipse", which honestly was a bit of a drag that all the good critics say is the weak track. Well, now we'll see which is the weak track, dear critics. And furthermore: 0.1% of the revenue will go to Mason, 20% to Waters' lawyers and the same to Gilmour's, Wright, when asked how much his share of the 50 TDSOTM project would be, said verbatim incomprehensible words: what fucking project? Why didn't those bastards from ABBA tell me anything? Again, Barrett chose the band's name from his two imaginary oysters[7] and it's not true that the remaining members of the band decided not to pick him up before the legendary Richmond concert, in reality, they asked him to reach him on his own, but he didn't have the ticket. Ah, obviously all pigs have wings.[8]
ARGGGH!
[1] Peppino, a well-known scoundrel in the area, makes a living by stealing packages received by customers from the top floors of Bolognese buildings. He deliberately pays all passersby to act as informers. In reality, this activity leads him to pay almost everyone who passes by randomly, so he earns nothing... But that's another story.
[2] Useful for cool spring evenings
[3] Not confirmed news
[4] Author of the THEDSOTM cover, an album by the Pink Floyd that has remained on the charts continuously for about 500 million seconds.
[5] Probably false information
[6] It's not true, I don't own such a Pink Floyd box set
[7] Actually, they were cats
[8] Grunf
