This is a ragbag collection of singles and tracks from Pink Floyd's first three studio albums including The More soundtrack. The cover features a drawing of a Heath Robinson type machine by the bands drummer Nick Mason.

It's an interesting enough collection but there seems to have been very little coordination in putting it together. The singles are welcome and the studio cut of Careful With That Axe Eugene are welcome , but there was no real need to wast ten minutes of space with Interstellar Overdrive (no pun intended), which is fine as part of the first album, but if you wanted it you'ld have the first album.

When it came out on vinyl it was priced as a budget album (99p), on CD it was full price. How can they justify that??

If you can pick it up under seven quid its worth it, otherwise you're being overcharged.
