- The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - 1967 - named after Chapter 7 in Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows.'
- Atom Heart Mother - 1970 - their first UK No. 1. It was also the first of their LPs not to feature the band's name.
- The Dark Side of the Moon - 1973 - over 50 million copies sold worldwide and entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest charting album.
- Wish You Were Here - 1975 Jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli played on the title track but is inaudible on the song.
- Animals - 1977 - appeared in the punk era; Johnny Rotten wore a T-shirt with the slogan 'I hate Pink Floyd.'
The albums protruding from the sleeves enabled me to enter these for this week's 'Shapes' on Sunday-stamps-II 87.
