High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

Rejected options order?

Should we arrange the songs in the order as the source has provided (which was the way it originally appeared in this article), in chronological order (which is the order this article currently lists it) or alphabetical order (which is just as convenient as chronological order). I personally don't care; however, I find the chronological order meaningless--one can argue that alphabetizing is better--how do we determine if chronological order is better than alphabetical? I suggest simply ordering it the way the source says because chronological/alphabetical could be a battle and the source's order (which was the tentative tracklist or something) is kind of set in stone. I think I'm going to change it back. If you disagree, let me know. Geeky Randy (talk) 21:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate cover

I stumbled on an alternate version of the cover and was wondering if there is any use for it, there are a few minor changes, like the bike is gone, there is a target, the guy walking has his other foot forward, the sand trap is pig shaped, etc... I came here looking for more information on this version, so I am sure others might be interested too.--Billy Nair (talk) 17:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This particular image is from the last page of the booklet.[1] The four different versions of the image were used as the covers of each record in the vinyl release. --Krótki (talk) 07:42, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rejected song post-Waters era

According to the archive of the album's website, specifically parts with James Guthrie's word on the rejected songs, there are 20 songs that were mentioned as rejected. All of these songs are from the debut album up to The Final Cut. I did not see that the last four songs (as listed on the article as coming from A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell) are on the rejected list.

(This has since been corrected by another editor) --G(x) (talk) 01:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added archive links to one external link on Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd. Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
