PINK FLOYD :
THE WALL ( This UK 1st Pressing is complete with all correct components and all in stunning FINAL UP-GRADE Condition. This stunning example dates from the initial release date of November 30th 1979.
INFO:
Pink, the protagonist, is a rock star, one of several reasons behind his apparent depressive and detached emotional state. He is first seen in an unkempt hotel room, motionless and expressionless, watching television.
In a flashback, Pink is a young English boy growing up in the early 1950s. Throughout his childhood, Pink longs for a father figure. He discovers a scroll from "kind old King George" and other relics from his father's military service and death. At school, he is humiliated for writing poems in class (the poem being Pink Floyd's "Money"). After the teacher reads the poem out loud, "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" is played, and children are shown in a surrealistically oppressive school system, falling into a meat grinder. The children then rise in rebellion and destroy the school, carrying the Teacher away to an unknown fate. Pink is also negatively affected by his overprotective mother.
Pink slowly begins to lose his mind to metaphorical "worms". He shaves off all of his body hair and his eyebrows. Pink's manager, along with the hotel manager and some paramedics, discover Pink and inject him with drugs to enable him to perform..............
