Background
Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd is a compilation
album by Pink Floyd. It was released on November
5, 2001 in the UK and November 6 in the U.S. It
debuted on The Billboard 200 album chart on November
24, 2001, at number 2 with sales of 214,650 copies
(it was kept from #1 in the US by Britney Spears'
Britney but they did help her dethrone Michael
Jackson's Invincible as it fell to #3). It remained
on the chart for 26 weeks. The album was certified
Gold, Platinum and Double Platinum on December
6, 2001 in the U.S. by the RIAA. It was certified
Triple Platinum (three million copies sold) in
the U.S. by the RIAA on January 8, 2002.
Echoes is the first album released on Compact
Disc that includes "When the Tigers Broke
Free", which appeared in the film version
of The Wall (the song later appeared on the 2004
re-release of The Final Cut in a slightly re-mixed
form).
The compilation spans the career of Pink Floyd
from their first single "Arnold Layne"
in 1967, through to "High Hopes", the
final track from their 1994 studio album The Division
Bell. Each of the twenty-six tracks non-chronologically
fades from one to the next with no break in the
music (apart from a disc switch after thirteen
tracks), courtesy of longtime producer-engineer
James Guthrie. This was done to help recreate
the concept-album feel of the band's mid-period
work. All twenty-six tracks were newly remastered
specifically for this compilation.
