00:00Okay, so if you've ever put on a pair of decent headphones, hit play on a proper progressive rock record,
00:05and just, disappeared for 40 minutes, this one's for you.
00:09I went digging through way too many listings looking for the best remastered prog rock CDs you can actually still
00:14buy on disc, and I found 5 that are genuinely worth your money.
00:18Real physical albums, real remasters, and prices that honestly surprised me.
00:23Let's get into it.
00:26First up is this remastered classic progressive rock compilation, and this one's kind of the perfect starting point.
00:32The big draw here is the remastering job, everything's been cleaned up for hi-fi playback, so the low end
00:37has actual weight to it and the vocals sit right where they should.
00:41It's also got that white brick wall cover with the graffiti-style text, which looks fantastic on a shelf.
00:47It's $25.54, the priciest on this list, but you're getting a full collection rather than one album.
00:53Over 4,700 people have grabbed it, sitting at a solid 4.3.
00:59Next, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here Brand New, Factory Sealed.
01:03And look, if you're only going to own one Floyd record, there's a real argument for this being it.
01:09Shine on you crazy diamond alone justifies the purchase, and on CD you get that continuous flow without flipping anything
01:15over.
01:16What sells me here is the perfect 5-star rating across 4,500 sales that basically never happens.
01:23$22.67 for a sealed copy of one of the most beloved albums ever recorded is a genuinely fair deal.
01:30Then there's the wall, and this is the remastered edition that includes an unreleased demo.
01:35That's the hook right there, if you already own this album in some form, the demo material is the reason
01:40to double-dip.
01:42It's a full-concept record, so you're getting the whole narrative arc, all the psychedelic textures, all of it cleaned
01:48up.
01:49$21.05 for a double album's worth of material with bonus content is honestly a steal.
01:554.5 stars, over 4,000 sold.
01:58Now, the dark side of the moon, and this is the cheapest disc on the entire list at $18.08.
02:04Which is kind of wild, because this is the audiophile pick.
02:08This album was engineered to show off a sound system, and the remaster really lets the stereo separation breathe,
02:14the clocks, the heartbeat, the sax on money, it all has space around it.
02:18If you're testing new speakers or headphones, this is the disc you reach for.
02:234.6 stars from over 4,200 buyers.
02:27And finally, the final cut, from 1983, brand new and sealed.
02:32This is the deep cut of the bunch, and it's the one prog fans tend to underrate.
02:37It's darker, more stripped back, much more of a lyrical record than a spectacle,
02:42and honestly it hits harder as you get older.
02:45Another perfect 5-star rating here, which tells you the people buying it know exactly what they're getting.
02:51$20.16, and it's the one that rounds out a Floyd collection properly.
02:56All 5 links are down in the description, so go grab whichever one's calling your name.
