It's 54 years since Pink Floyd released Meddle, which spent 85 weeks on the UK album charts.
With a gatefold cover (shown here opened up) featuring a close-up of an ear, one side of the album is host to the epic Echoes. Coincidentally, on this day in 2001, a Pink Floyd compilation of the same name was released! Here's pictures of both:

@JLees27 @GiveBloodNHS But clearly not counted in the same way. I’ve been donating for around 30 years and still nowhere near 100 donations . Congratulations on being a Plasma donor.!

[David Whyley @davewhy]

@JLees27 @GiveBloodNHS Ah, so a different system then to the blood donation one. 100 blood donations take many years. I'll never achieve it.

@LBFlyawayhome Brilliant illustrations of something essential to know! In fact the whole book is essential!
