The album was one of the best-selling of 1980, and by 1999 it had sold over 23 million RIAA-certified units, making it the third highest certified album in the United States. Waters conceived the album during Pink Floyd's 1977 In the Flesh Tour, when his frustration with the audience became so acute that he imagined a wall between the audience and the stage. The movie, through a mixture of live action and animation, tells the story of a rock musician named Pink and his feelings of isolation and estrangement from societies 'norms. It is a rock opera that follows Pink, a character whom Waters modelled after himself and the band's original leader, Syd Barrett. Pink Floyd - The Wall is a movie based on the album The Wall by the music group Pink Floyd. As with Pink Floyd's prior three albums, The Wall is a concept album, exploring themes of abandonment and personal isolation. It is the last studio album released with the line-up of guitarist David Gilmour, bass guitarist/lyricist Roger Waters, keyboardist Richard Wright, and drummer Nick Mason before Wright left the band. The Wall is the 11th studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in November 1979. Remastered from the original analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante, and Bernie Grundman. Limited double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket.
