Beth said...

Alright! The Pink Floyd stuff is starting!

*anxiously awaits to fill out her collection*

Dr. Forrester said...

Well... The Pink Floyd stuff isn't officially starting for just a little while yet. I broke the rules & put this one ahead of the line because it was just released on Saturday. B-)

Hope you like the Beatles... because we have to get through 20 or so Macca posts first.
