About this product
The warrior takes off his battle armor and InchGraceful steps of a lovely ladyInch are two of the nine compositions in this collection, recorded in the British crown colony of Hong Kong several years before it's return to China in 1997. The album features solo music and small ensembles, which are more typical of Chinese traditional music than larger orchestras. The eight instruments heard here-those most commonly used in such music-are the p'i-p'a (pipa), a four-string lute dating to Chinese antiquity; ch'in (seven-string zither); yang-ch'in (butterfly zither); shêng (mouth-organ); hsiao or tung-hsiao (vertical bamboo flute); ti or ti-tzu (transverse flute); êrh-hu (two-string violin); and chêng or ku-chêng (16-string zither). The liner notes feature Chinese, English, and French translations of the song titles, as well as a brief history for each track. This album is part of the UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music. More than 125 albums are being released by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings to make the series publicly available, including a dozen never-released albums of musical traditions from around the globe.

Double 180ghm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket with two separate printed inner bags. Originally released in 2011 on CD only, the artwork for this compilation is the last work of long-term Floyd designer, the late Storm Thorgerson. This is the perfect Pink Floyd album for both devoted fans and those discovering their music for the very first time. The career-spanning compilation features some of the best-known album tracks from 1967 - 1994, including the band's first UK Top 10 single 'See Emily Play', and the iconic 'Wish You Were Here', 'Comfortably Numb', 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and 'High Hopes'. The tracks have been newly mastered for vinyl by longstanding Pink Floyd associate James Guthrie, with Joel Plante, and with lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman of Grundman Mastering in Los Angeles, California. The 2-LP version features the reinstated version of 'Time', with the ringing alarm clocks at the start of the track restored, after being omitted on the CD . The original sleeve design, has been amended by Pink Floyd Creative Director Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis and Peter Curzon, to include alternate versions of the photographs used in the original CD version.
