  • What a bargain! :p

    Tallymanjohn please forgive me for being pedantic, but those words from Dark Side of the Moon didn't actually come from the pen of Roger Waters, even though he is credited with all lyrics for the album. Those words came as responses to flash cards that various people at Abbey Road were shown in a darkened room in the studio

    I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here :confused:

    Nobody is denying that they are part of the lyrics to Dark Side of the Moon. The point is that they asked a series of questions to various people at Abbey Road Studios, recorded the answers they gave, and included some of those recordings in the album

    Tallymanjohn says in the signature "lyrics:Nick Mason", but those snippets were the words of those various people that were recorded when being shown the flashcards, the words were not penned by Nick Mason (or Roger Waters, who is credited with all lyrics on this album, according to Wikipedia)

    If I buy one of these and take it back, could I get a cash refund for the full price ? What if I just exchanged it ?

    Not sure if you're reading the same wikipedia as the rest of us. According to wikipedia the track 'Speak to Me' is credited to Nick Mason.

    You would have to buy one and keep the receipt. If the price stays the same for months, then just get a refund. If it goes back up then you will need to hide the receipt when you take it back and get a £500 exchange. My guess is the same as everyone elses - £500 is the misprice and it will never go 'back' to £500.
    You could then but 10 news ones next time the're on offer or £500 worth of choclit! If you break the choclit in half, it's half the calories so you can eat twice as much!
    Cash ISA rate 6.5% fixed for 2 years. Mortgage rate 0.75% = 5.75% profit on £75K = £4500 per year:j
    Mortgages make money. Definitely don't wanabee mortgage free!

    Aha, I see. I thought, perhaps without reading properly, that you were questioning the validity of the words used in the song so I pasted EXACTLY what is said in the song.

    You are correct, of course but boy, that IS being pedantic.:)

    I would argue that the words were not uttered as lyrics to the song until Nick Mason MADE them the lyrics to the song, if you get my drift. Surely, therefore, he composed the words into lyrics. Similarly Jean Michelle Jarre sampled sounds (and voices) for his Zoolook album and constructed the tracks.

    .....and I must be right 'cos I've got FOUR stars and you have only THREE therefore I reign superior, so there.

    You can get these things in TK Maxx and Poundstretcher for under a tenner. We did and we've been using it for years.
