Who remembers the ol' collect-call-to-yourself as a sign you made it home OK? I remember my family, when I was little, was mindful of the cost of phone calls to an extent that we used this trick a few times.

Or person to person calls which indicated that the other (refusing) party could call you back with direct dial much less (relatively) expensively. Also traded cassette tapes with parents in college.

#13Excellent Pink Floyd exhibition in Los Angeles until January 9th.

#15I remember when the album was released and bought a copy. Much was made at the time that this was a real call: one of the PF guys (don’t remember who) told a friend in the UK that if they received a call from “Mr Floyd to Mrs Floyd” just hang up. The genius part was the the real phone operator quickly tweaked onto the fact that the call was to Mrs Floyd, who should have been alone, but a man answered…
> The fake collect call from the US to England…
Yep, unfortunately TFA got that part wrong.

#16If you're a fan of Pink Floyd's Young Lust (from the album "The Wall" released in 1979) but are scratching you head as to all the beeps and boops you hear during the telephone call portion of the song - this article explains it all.
As a nerd, and a huge Pink Floyd fan, I'm embarrassed to say I never really paid attention to those noises.
Whaaat? You've just earned enough demerits that requires you to return your Floyd Fan Nerd card in. You will be able to have it back when your suspension has been completed.
Immediate reinstatment will be possible by naming the year and result of the match the crowd was recorded for Fearless.

Dangit, I'm in LA for Kubecon, and if I'd seen this yesterday would definitely have had time to go - Not so much today.

> I love the band. Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon and after),
I gotta respectfully disagree . Meddle was peak Floyd for me. The whole album is a transporting experience, including IMO the best Gilmour guitar solo ever.

Yep I remember my mother sending tapes back and forth to her mother and her sister who both lived in Europe. Small open-reel tapes, not cassettes. They later started doing voice calls once a month or so, when the costs had dropped some (or their income had gone up -- maybe both). Lots of letter writing also, on very thin paper to reduce weight and postage costs.
