Anyone who knew anything about
Pink Floyd knew that a dance band they were not, so this profit-taking, holiday-season compilation, courtesy of Columbia Records, was intended ironically. Arguably the quintessential album band,
Pink Floyd is not well served by compilations, especially one on which four parts of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" are edited together and there's a re-recording of "Money." Stick to the full-length versions. [In 2017,
A Collection of Great Dance Songs was reissued in a remastered LP edition pressed on 180-gram vinyl.] ~ William Ruhlmann
