Please note! When this album was released in 1994, the favoured format of the large majority of the music buying public was CD or Cassette with vinyl running a distant last- so the production of the original'Black vinyl' pressing was very limited, and consequently extreemely scarce today. The album has been re released in gimmicky coloured vinyl since, which frankly does not make the grade with audio enthusiasts, and  no substitute will ever compare favourably with the audio quality of the original first pressed vinyl!! It is important to note that during this period of the mid 1990s that vinyl was deemed to be at the end of its life and was due to be phase out in favour of cd format and the quality of vinyl pressings in general were some what to be desired compared with earlier vinyl pressings, so my point is that it is easy to be critical about the audio on these mid 1990s pressings and allowances must be made for static,crackle and ticks heard especially during isolated quiet places during the play of this vinyl, and from my experience is common on these pressings. This album is from my personal collection and was purchased from new.



The Division Bell is the fourteenth album by English progressive rock group Pink Floyd. It was released in the United Kingdom (UK) by EMI Records in March 1994, and shortly after in the United States (US) by Columbia Records!.


Happy bidding :)
