Abbey Road Studios Dark Side Session Sheet

[Journey Man]

Further to last year's overpriced reproduction EMI tape box offer, we can now buy a piece of paper for £50.

And you can be sure there will be people willing to pay that much for what is essentially a color photocopy. There are some insane collectors that buy just anything.

Granted, it is printed on very high quality archival artist paper, which is a far better material than the paper used in the original. The paper alone can cost a couple of dollars.

But still.... The contents of the paper aren't even that interesting or revelatory.

And apparently they still have copies of the "tape box folio" https://shop.abbeyroad.com/Books-Art...wo/7BHJ00001R9
Weren't those sold out last year, or am I misremembering?

I'm sorry, I know we love PF, but this is absolutely shameless.

You mean to tell me you HAVEN'T bought the £32 Bucket Hat ready for the summer? ;-)

Another band once said "All you need is cash!".

I'm sorry, I know we love PF, but this is absolutely shameless.

But it's Abbey Road flogging these, not Floyd. It looks to me like PF's only involvement in this is in not vetoing it outright. Though some may argue that they should if they wanted to retain any semblance of integrity, I guess.

Makes you wonder if they have some sort of exclusion list of things they won’t allow, but anything else is fair game. I wonder if they even see this or if the proceeds get lumped in with the proceeds of t-shirts and other stuff with a Pink Floyd logo.

EDIT: never mind, they are definitely aware. They just tweeted a pic of the Abbey Road gift shop with that empty box for sale.

I noticed on the sheet that there's a microphone set up for Acoustic Guitar. I wonder what song they were working on there.

According to Glenn Povey's book, they were working on Eclipse Part 1 (Breathe) during that session
