Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP

can you go wrong with ANY pink floyd?

I was told by an audiophile retailer that there are some german recordings that are 'by far' the best pink floyd ever pressed. he sold LPs but he didn't sell these. That's all i remember...'german pressings.' oh yeah, and i remember he said they go for a couple hundred bucks when you can find them.

I have the German DSOTM, as well as the Harvest British second pressing, MoFi conventional second pressing and Japanese Pro-Use half-speed, as well as having borrowed the MoFi UHQR for three weeks from a friend. To my ear the order of quality would be Japanese Pro-Use, Brit, German, UHQR, MoFi. YMMV.

The original UK Harvest pressing of "Ummagumma" is recorded very well, both the live disc and the studio disc. I am still playing my copy from 1970 or so. That live performance of "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" was some of my earliest exposure to Pink Floyd.

All of them, some are just better than others. My wife is into Pink in a big way, which works for me.
