While I am sure there will be plenty of people that question the CD’s I’ve elected to reference, the true focus here is on the performances and general characteristics of known recordings. This project is a work in progress, and new items are unearthed all the time I will be regularly maintaining this article and incorporating new information as it becomes available. I’ve included as many links to reviews within the CMR site as possible for a much more in-depth look at silver releases that I rank among the very best, and in many cases consider to be definitive. Hopefully, knowledgeable collectors of other artists’ work will follow in suit as well this site isn’t limited to reviews alone – it is a resource for longtime collectors and those just starting out. People often ask me which Floyd shows are essential, where to start, which recordings sound best, or which are historically significant, and thus I’ve elected to provide a resource that answers all of those questions and more.
