High hopes - Pink Floyd

Although Pink Floyd was never known as a 'singles band', there were two singles taken from their album 'The Division bell' (1994). 'Take it back' was a reasonable success, and so the release of 'High hopes' hoped to repeat that success. The 7" single was released on clear vinyl and with a poster sleeve. Both the 7" single and the cd-single featured edited versions of the A and B-sides. It's a shame, because the full length version of especially 'High hopes' is really worth hearing. I couldn't resist buying the single, though, because it looked fabulous. By 1994, 7" singles had become rarities I wanted to have whenever a good song was released on that format.
