The cover to FitD is credited to StormSudios so not sure what he was thinking on that, pretty much a phoned in design.
Works I always looked at being associated with The Wall in a way (my own head cannon)? The guy is working on this big metal construct that resembles a giant wall. But either way, it really doesn't fit in with their other covers other than that association. Credited to Ron Larson so can't blame Storm for that one.

it's just a crude remake of an old Dutch poster
by the way - the correct name of the album should be Pink Floyd Works - not just Works

this means that the word Works is a verb in the third person and not a noun in the plural

I have never been in favor of speaking ill of the music that I like. in general I try to find some advantage or reason. but maybe the only time I felt discomfort was when they included When the Tigers Broke Free in The Final Cut... I love that song! but I don't like its insertion. I met the final cut when I was 12 years old and I memorized each of the lyrics, this exercise being very useful in my English classes! . It also annoyed me (and still annoys me) to think of The Final Cut as "leftover pieces from The Wall" since, as Vernon Fitch's book demonstrates, many of them were composed or finished until much later when the music for The Wall was recomposed. the movie... but that's another topic!

It's not Ummagumma as those live tracks are precious and it's not The Final Cut as that was such a sincere statement.
The comiplations weren't generally the band's decisions and even messed up like the US Nice Pair still have great music.
Other than that, the most relatively disappointing on release was A Momentary Lapse of Reason, the recent remix with more Rick and Nick is far better though.
I have all of them on vinyl and CD (sometimes multiples)... but I've never played The Endless River, maybe that's the one where they fall for me? I just don't want it to be the end.

Let me be corrected, but in my opinion, it was in this smelly collection that the seeds of "glorious marketing solutions" were sown, which sometimes make us so happy from year to year
What a tragedy - "They only had 2 CDs"...
But we were lucky after all: no one guessed to cut out fragments of all PF songs SO THAT THEY FIT ON 1 CD !!!
P.S, By the way, the latter can still fall on our heads: smooth crossfades with the help of "artificial intelligence" (which never existed, no, and cannot be. There are only programmers)...

I have a soft spot for the Echoes compilation because it was my entry point into Pink Floyd beyond DSOTM and The Wall. The transitions are more than simple crossfades (the end of Us and Them for example - that was reconstructed from the multitracks specifically for this release), and the other edits, while unfortunate, were reasonably well done. It's also the only album release of the film version of When The Tigers Broke Free - the version that was shoved into recent Final Cut reissues is a different mix.)
A Foot In The Door, though? The editing and sequencing on that compilation is frustrating and lazy. The vinyl release at least restores the intro to Time - who's idea it was to lop off one of the most iconic parts of the song? F
