180-Gram Vinyl + Booklet in Gatefold Jacket

Momentary Lapse Of Reason is Pink Floyd’s 13th studio album, originally released in September 1987. It followed guitarist David Gilmour’s decision to include material recorded for his third solo album on a new Pink Floyd album with drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright. Although for legal reasons Wright could not be re-admitted to the band, Wright and Mason helped Gilmour craft what became the first Pink Floyd album since the December 1985 departure of bass guitarist, singer and primary songwriter Roger Waters. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason was recorded primarily on Gilmour’s converted houseboat, Astoria. Its production was marked by an ongoing legal dispute with Waters as to who owned the rights to Pink Floyd’s name, an issue resolved several months after the album was released. Unlike many of Pink Floyd’s studio albums, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason has no central theme and is instead a collection of songs written by Gilmour, sometimes with outside songwriters.

This edition features the original album cover artwork, and was remastered from the original analog tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman.
