2011 collection from the British Rock legends, released to coincide with the digitally remastered reissues of their entire studio catalog. Features their best known tracks including 'Comfortably Numb', 'Money', 'Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. 2' and more. The first single-disc Pink Floyd compilation to surface in 30 years – the last being A Collection of Great Dance Songs, released as a stopgap between The Wall and The Final Cut – A Foot in the Door: The Best of Pink Floyd has its share of idiosyncrasies, quirks evident right from the choice of the moody “Hey You” as the set’s opener.
“Hey You” might not be an ideal keynote song but it is certainly one of Floyd’s signature songs, something that can’t be said of every one of the 16 songs here, the oddest choices being “The Happiest Days of Our Lives” (used as an extended intro for “Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2”) and “The Fletcher Memorial Home” (an album cut from the un-beloved The Final Cut). Apart from these tunes, A Foot in the Door serves up the expected – five cuts from Dark Side of the Moon, three from Wish You Were Here, four from The Wall (of the big radio staples, “Run Like Hell” and “Young Lust” are absent), adding the early Syd Barrett “See Emily Play” and the latter-day “High Hopes” and “Learning to Fly” almost as afterthoughts. Although the compilation could withstand some minor tweaks – a post-Syd song like “One of These Days” would have been welcome, for instance – this is still a very worthy compilation of (most of) the Floyd songs everybody knows by heart.
Pink Floyd's new single disc best of called A Foot In the Door is a great starter into the world of Pink Floyd for those who want to know what the band's music was like and first proper greatest hits album.
When I first got wind of A Foot In the Door I was like do we need another single disc Pink Floyd compilation but got as a gift from a family member as I'm a Pink Floyd collector and I am impressed.
A Foot in the Door, like the now out of print 2001 2-CD Echoes compilation (at least it's Out Of Print here in the States anyhow), is not like many best ofs as it is a non-chronological compilation and has songs segueing from one to the next. A Foot In the Door (as its title suggests) is literally geared towards newbies who want to delve into the legacy of Pink Floyd and, unlike 1981's A Collection of Great Dance Songs and 1983's US only Works, is a single disc compilation spanning everything from 1967 to 1994 and coming in at close to 78 minutes.
It's impossible to put a collection of Pink Floyd songs together on one CD that will please everyone. I think the non-chronological placing of these songs adds something new to the mix and the transitions between some of these songs create a mosaic of music just as these songs did on their original albums.
The band's 1967 Syd Barrett era is represented by the band's first UK Top 10 hit being "See Emily Play".
1973's classic The Dark Side of the Moon is represented by a slightly edited version of "Time", "The Great Gig in the Sky", "Money" (which segues into "Comfortably Numb") and the album's closer "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse".
1975's Wish You Were Here is represented by a new edit of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1 - 5)" and has music fading out without the crossfade into Part 6 like on Echoes (which in turn segues into "Brain Damage"), "Have a Cigar" (which wasn't on Echoes) and a slightly edited version of the title cut (with the ending reduced as the wind noises segues into "Time").
1979's classic The Wall is represented by "The Happiest Days of Our Lives", "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" (which segues into "Have a Cigar"), "Hey You" (which opens this compilation) and "Comfortably Numb".
1983's The Final Cut is represented by "The Fletcher Memorial Home" (which segues nicely into the newish edit of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond").
1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason is represented by "Learning to Fly" (which segues into the previously aforementioned "Fletcher Memorial Home").
1994's swan song The Division Bell is represented rightly so by the album's closing track "High Hopes" (same edit that appeared on 2001's Echoes : The Best of Pink Floyd 2-CD compilation).
I know nothing on this compilation features any tracks from the 1967 debut The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, 1968's A Saucerful of Secrets, 1969's More Soundtrack, Ummagumma (also from 1969), 1970's Atom Heart Mother, 1971's Meddle, 1972's underappreciated Obscured by Clouds and 1977's underrated Animals but remember folks that it's hard to put a band of Pink Floyd's history together on one 80 minute CD. Now that Capitol in the States discontinued the 2 disc Echoes best of, this will be the only compilation from Pink Floyd readily available for American Floyd fans but Echoes is still available as an import if you want to have a more concrete overview to Pink Floyd's legacy. However, A Foot In the Door is a great overview for those who want to check out Pink Floyd's history on one 80 minute CD.
Highly recommended to newbies for Floyd fans!
