One Of My Turns - A clean version of the track with nothing obscuring the beginning or the the end. It also lacks the Roger Waters scream during the guitar solo that appears only in the rare 7″ single version. The outro is clean, lacking the dialog of phone call back home on top of the music. Basically, it has the same running time as the original LP version but the pick-up note at the beginning lacks the tiny bit of crossover sound from “Empty Spaces”. Young Lust - The track starts with the same the pickup beat and goes straight into the vocal as the album/CD release. On this LP, the song fades out completely at the same spot in the music where we would have heard the first notes of “Empty Spaces” on the CD. On the album/CD version, sound effects of birds and bomber fleets could be heard until the synths kicked in. Goodbye Blue Sky - The acoustic guitar intro is clean for about the first 9 seconds and lacks the bird tweeting and other pastoral sound effects at the beginning of the track.
It has the same ending as the single version - a fade out towards the end of David Gilmour’s guitar solo. This version lacks the 9-second extended instrumental intro of the single version.
What was different about this disc from any other? Here’s the track-by-track rundown:Īnother Brick In The Wall Part 2 - The “hit.” Nothing special here. Expect to spend at least $200 USD (usually much more) when you find one. Currently, it is one of the better Pink Floyd vinyl rarities out there. One of the FM stations I worked at in Los Angeles back in the day had a copy of this beauty. A shorter overall running time allowed the vinyl to to be mastered with deeper-cut grooves for better sound quality.Īmong the cool stuff contained in this sampler’s eight tracks were a longer version of “Run Like Hell” with a clean opening and cold fade without crowd noises, a version of “Young Lust” with a clean outro that’s missing the phone call dialog on top of it, and a version of “Goodbye Blue Sky” featuring a clean intro with no sound effects. Rather than blended track-to-track, the album was banded with gaps between the tracks for precise cues and easier programming. The album featured extended versions of several tracks, along with clean intros and outros. Pink Floyd – Off The Wall: Special Radio Reconstruction is a rare 1979 US eight track, radio-friendly white-label promo sampler LP for The Wall album that was distributed mainly to radio stations in 1979 and the early 80’s.
