P*U*L*S*E (also referred to as Pulse) is a live double CD by Pink Floyd, released in 1995 (see 1995 in music). The album was recorded during the band's Division Bell tour in 1994, specifically the UK and European leg, which ran from July to October 1994 (See Pink Floyd live performances). The album includes a complete live version of Dark Side of the Moon and featured a booklet with many photos from performances on this tour. PULSE debuted at #1 on The Billboard 200 in June, 1995 and was certified as Gold, Platinum and Double Platinum on July 31, 1995. The cassette issue had two bonus tracks: "One of These Days" and a 22 minute ambient piece that was played prior to the 1994 concerts. The vinyl version comes in a 4-LP box and includes "One of These Days" as well as a large version of the photo booklet. Early CD versions came with a blinking red LED on the side of the case, that flashed to the heartbeat heard at the end of Dark Side of the Moon.This was designed by EMI contractor Jon Kempner (who incidentally was awarded the platinum disc). This was stated to have a battery life of 18 months. Later editions of the CD set did not feature the blinking LED. |
